As for the latest sequel in the Men in Black series, the newest movie “Men in Black International” has most likely has ended this movie franchise, because this is a bad movie. If I were a Hollywood executive I would recognize the long term financial windfall these movies will provide and protect the franchise by making sure there was always a great script first, before large amounts of money was invested for special effects. Once again, the same mistake has been made by an executive who believes that name recognition and special effects are all that are needed, not the long term commitment required for a great screenplay. In my opinion this movie was bad in every aspect, including both the acting and the story, that was boring and all over the place.

Men in Black International stars Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Liam Neeson. As far as Neeson, he probably just agreed to do this movie for the money and never read the script. A bad sign for me was looking at my watch many times, waiting for the 2 hours to be finally over and it was never over soon enough.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating for this movie are a very low 26% and I agree with this rating. This movie should be missed with the possible exception of die hard Men in Black fans, but even for them this is a pretty bad movie.

The movie “Tomorrow Man” is about an unlikely pairing of two single people in their 70’s who at first seem very similar, but we find out that Ed, played by John Lithgow believes that the world will soon be coming to an end, and Ronnie played by Blythe Danner is of all things, a hoarder.

I thought the acting was good throughout this simple film about dating and the expected problems that occur in all relationships. Unfortunately most of this is rather mundane and boring in too many areas to recommend, despite the solid acting. I thought the ending was an ironic surprise that almost saved the story, but not quite enough.

I mostly agree with the below average ratings of 49% on Rotten Tomatoes, and its a shame because with a better script, I would have recommended this movie.

According to the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the latest X-Men movie “Dark Phoenix” is a bad film with a rating of only 22%. Dark Phoenix is an average action movie, not a bad one and unfortunately because it is only average, the odds are that it might reduce the chances that X-Men will continue as a movie franchise. The problem with this movie is that we have seen all of this before, there is nothing really new here. The special effects are good not great and the story is boring in too many areas to make it something unforgettable, that for any super-hero movie in recent years is a rare event anyway.

Dark Phoenix, like all the X-Men movies has many known actors, including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Sophie Turner and Jessica Chastain. Unfortunately for all movies like this, throwing a large number of famous people at an average or bad script and you still have an average or bad script. It will always be story first, then script, then many re-writes. Nothing is easy when producing a great movie.

I give Dark Phoenix about a 50% rating and only a very marginal recommendation for the biggest X-Men fans.
