00:00Sony has been working on a fourth film since 2015.

00:03The basic idea was for this universe to merge with that of 21 Jump Street.

00:06in order to create a crossover between the two licenses.

00:09The project was quickly cancelled, probably to avoid the box,

00:12we mix the universes to make a shitty movie,

00:13like those who tried it long before.

00:15But the project of a fourth film remains current,

00:18with the idea of starting from scratch.

00:19Because Will Smith no longer wanted to be involved in this saga

00:21and that Tommy Lee Jones had already mentally left him during the third opus.

00:25In 2019, movie stars are mostly coming out of Marvel Studios.

00:28They are the ones who sell, and so it is naturally in this pot of money

00:32that Sony will be looking for Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson,

00:35formerly Thor and Valkyrie,

00:36to form the new shock duo of the extraterrestrial agency.

00:39The film will focus on Molly,

00:41who devotes his life to the search for the MIB agency,

00:44after witnessing their intervention during his childhood,

00:47and saving a cute little alien,

00:49and we'll come back to the cute little aliens.

00:52She ends up finding the agency, joining it,

00:54and tries to save the world through different countries with his teammate, Agent H.

00:58Okay, before we get into the nitty-gritty,

01:10and shoot the ambulance with a bazooka,

01:12I will still list the few positive points of the film.

01:14Already, the fact of relocating the action all over the world is pretty cool.

01:18This opens up new horizons regarding aliens through different cultures.

01:21Like, for example, the alien beard is probably the coolest thing in the movie.

01:25Then there are lots of nice little finds.

01:27Agent H's gun car, where all the guns are cleverly hidden.

01:30The action scenes are not unpleasant.

01:32The scene with the motorbike in Morocco is rather nice.

01:35Then Danny Elfman's music is reused, and that makes a real difference.

01:38And in fact, Tessa Thompson carries the film very well.

01:40But this is also where the problems start to arise,

01:43since she is the only somewhat endearing character in the film,

01:46and this, to the detriment of agent H.

01:47Portrayed by Chris Hemsworth,

01:49who is described as the big idiot on duty,

01:51not able to connect two neurons,

01:53and so it's a bit hard to get attached to it.

01:55The scenario will completely throw him out.

01:57He is not brave, he has no instinct,

01:59we don't understand his motivations.

02:01And then this kind of scene too,

02:02which comes out on the popularity of another saga,

02:04and which completely breaks the dynamics of the film.

02:06Looks like luck has changed.

02:07We're going to have plenty of moments like this.

02:12Go let me find some wood in the desert to make a fire,

02:14that I install a setup without providing payoff,

02:17which weighs down the already too long film,

02:19that I use a neurolaser on civilians who haven't seen anything yet.

02:23Everything will become clear if you look at this carefully.

02:28Because suddenly, yes, the film positions itself as a sequel to the 3,

02:31featuring Agent O,

02:32showing that agents J and K did indeed exist,

02:35but at no time is the coherence of the universe respected.

02:37For example, here we are led to believe that the organization was created at the end of the 19th century,

02:41whereas it was logically created after the second war in the first film.

02:44The bestiary, however, has completely lost its splendor.

02:46No more slimy, terrifying handmade monstrosities.

02:49Make way for the cute little CGI creatures that will be used to sell stuffed animals.

02:53No more charismatic antagonists.

02:55Here, we don't even know who the antagonist is.

02:57The evil twins, the lady with the weird wig,

03:00the leader of the Men in Black, or something like that.

03:02The film has this incredible gift of offering a scenario as simplistic as it is incomprehensible,

03:06as predictable as it is uninteresting.

03:08Yes, Tessa Thompson gets the job done, but her motivations are crap.

03:11She spends her life trying to find a secret organization

03:14and achieves its ultimate goal after 15 minutes of film.

03:17After that, it's difficult to fully invest in the character.

03:20since it's just filler.

03:22Besides that, F. Gary Gray's direction offers nothing special.

03:25The film's art direction is bland, full of green screen.

03:29Well, go filming in Paris, for God's sake!

03:30What is this thing?

03:32This isn't Ratatouille, damn it!

03:33This is a bad blockbuster.

03:34as we have been eating for too many years now.

03:37Something ultra generic,

03:39the complete opposite of brilliantly wacky weirdness

03:41what the first movie was.

03:42But all this mediocrity is not due to chance.

03:44since you can well imagine that the production was completely disastrous.

03:48A first version of the script,

03:50more serious and more committed,

03:51with strong themes,

03:52which had attracted the two headliners,

03:54is thrown in the trash by the historical producer of the saga,

03:56who will rewrite all that with a trowel

03:58so much so that Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth

04:00hire their own dialogue writer to help them navigate.

04:03The director, himself, is completely eaten up by the producer,

04:05repeatedly threatening to leave the set

04:07before Sony catches up with him every time in extremis.

04:10So we have a film that has not been validated by its main leader,

04:13namely F. Gary Gray,

04:15and which, inevitably, is a failure at all levels.

04:17Whether critical or commercial,

04:18with an estimated worldwide gross of $250 million.

04:21On top of that, the communication is dishonest.

04:23and highlights iconic characters from the saga

04:26which we only see for a few seconds in the film.

04:28In short, nothing is going right.

04:29And once again, a promising universe is spoiled by the lure of profit.

04:32But above all, by the cruel lack of artistic vision

04:35which Hollywood has been suffering from for several years now.

04:37In any case, what is certain,

04:38It's unlikely we'll hear about the Men in Black again.

04:41And it must be said that it's not so bad.

04:43In any case, I invite you to comment and like this video,

04:46to subscribe, of course, if you haven't already.

04:48Thank you again for your loyalty,

04:49Thank you Acer,

04:50and I will meet you in the description if the monitor interests you.

04:53And as for me, all that remains is to say see you very soon

04:55on Reservoir Blog.

04:58So basically I had to reread it at the end

04:59By telling you, be careful, the fourth film never existed.

05:02But when I saw the face of the accessory I created,

05:04It looks more like a tendentious thing than a neurolaser.

05:10Anyway, I won't keep you going any longer.

05:20Be serious, you know?

05:21OK, OK, here we go.

05:23All right.

05:25Let's go.
