The original Men in Black charmed because of its quirky humour, witty script, intriguing glimpses at a well rounded universe and the odd couple at the centre of it. Men in Black 2 - I can't even remember. But MiB3 injected some new twists and felt like a revival of the magic.
So we come to the number four in the franchise. This time it's the turn of a new duo and they go global trotting in search of various bad guys and a gizmo to save the world. Thompson and Hemsworth have undoubted chemistry, but the script lacks spark and jeopardy which contributes to a feeling of we've seen it all before.
Verdict: The trusty formula is wearing thin.
