There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Expectations are always low when a British TV comic takes to the big screen but, incredible as it may seem, somebody though a belated sequel to 'Johnny English' a good idea, and with 'Johnny English Strikes Again' hitting cinemas in a couple of months we're now looking at a franchise; heaven help us!English mercifully seems better at his job this time round than I recall from the original, there's the occasional amusing moment, the money's up there on the screen in the outdoor action scenes and a classy supporting cast plays things straight. Rosamund Pike is charming as usual as the heroine; but best of all is villainess Pik-Sen Lim, constantly popping up when least expected like a malevolent female Kato.

Not as good as the first Johnny English for me. I felt nothing for this movie but dullness. No suspense, no witty humor, no horror, no well-thought out skits, no sadness, no happiness, no intrigue. Just one lame attempt after another at lazy, trite situations. The plot attempted was more complex for this mind numbing movie to pull off and really I could not even follow what the entire point of the plot was about, nor did I care cause, you know, I felt nothing except, "oh my gosh when does this end".It's all relative though. Seems like many other people liked it. However, it does appear that many of the people who really liked this movie did not like the first one as much and the people who really liked the first Johnny English lot did not care as much for this sequel.

The combination of high-tech thrillers a la James Bond and the so English humor of Rowan Atkinson worked fine for me in the original 'Johnny English' and work even better in the 'Johnny English Reborn' sequel released eight years later, which I got to see only now. If I am to look for the perfect comedy entertainment I would go for something like this because it succeeds to be funny and anti political-correct, while keeping some logic and sending references to the original movies it is inspired from, without taking itself too much seriously at any moment.If I am to decide what are the reasons JE works for me better than other similar comedy-parody movies I would of course first of all mention Rowan Atkinson. He is himself, meaning Mr. Bean whatever the role he plays - a combination of Britishness and irreverence, a walking gaffer and catastrophes generator, and yet - a warm human being. The greatest comical character one can identify with since Stan Laurel.The second reason are the scripts of the Johnny English films. They actually have logic. Of course, it's Brit logic, it's movies logic, but if you really put the script of the two Johnny English movies near the stories of most of the James Bond films, not only you will find them similar, but English may won many of the credibility contests.This second and I hope not last installment of Johnny English has also the great advantage to bring back to screen one of my mostly beloved actresses, Gillian Anderson of X-Files fame. Did I say that was my preferred TV-series of all times. I did and now you know it all too. I hope that director Oliver Parker (or somebody else) will go on with the JE series, and that Gillian will become Atkinson/English's Q for a long time.
