Johnny English Strikes Again

Johnny English Strikes Again delivers us a new chapter of collisions and botched up situations. As a fan of slapstick, the first two films in the series have always had a special place in my heart - those along with Jump Streets, Anchormans and Horrible Bosses, Bringing Up Baby, etc. are always ready to go when I want to watch something light and stupid (big fan of stupidity). Johnny English Strikes Again will be added to that list, as for my money, it's at least almost as good as the previous instalments. They're obviously nothing earth shattering but they're good for what they are.

Atkinson's as good as ever, Bough (played by Ben Miller) is back from the first film and there are also fun cameos from Michael Gambon and Charles Dance so we have a little bit of Dumbledore and Tywin Lannister in the mix as well. Add some Atkinson dance moves, really bad fake names, and messing up with an ancient harness and you're all set. It's also fun that The Pink Panther films are referenced in the title as Mr. English can obviously be seen as the heir of Inspector Clouseau from the old film series.

Rating: 6/10

While the 007 movie getting deep and dark minded, the Johnny English movie still be funny. And it is funny enough to not outdated by using the old school tools to cause jokes.

I ended up at the movies because my wife, niece and daughter invited me. When they said Johnny English, I was far from excited. Turns out I ended up having a great time and a huge laugh. Would watch it again. Great mood therapy.

I hadn't seen the prequels and this was a limited selection on the airplane but it perfectly filled a couple of hours on a dreary flight. This is mild entertainment but with some down right hilarious moments and sequences. The virtual reality scene is comedy brilliance. It somewhat reminded me of the older generation comedy movies. It will definitely provide a laugh. Ridiculous throughout which is exactly what it aims to be. Rowan Atkinson is still a brilliant comedian and some Mr Bean style facial will give you that nostalgic flair.

Johnny English proves to be funny as always in the third movie of the trilogy. I wasn't certain if I'll enjoy the movie but surprisingly it was enjoyable. Rowan Atkinson is amazing as the iconic Mr. Bean and so as Johnny English. Atkinson may have disappeared for a while now but he does get the job done and hasn't lost his talent. There is nothing much to say about the rest of the cast nor the plot of the movie other than its funny, entertaining and amusing. Something about this parody over James Bond is special in which it makes the whole character feel great.
