It’s a lame drudge of a film that I ended up viewing in a purgatory stasis – somewhere between annoyed and indifferent.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2024

It is perhaps time for Johnny English to have his license to kill revoked.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 28, 2020

Johnny English stumbles into the digital age with a stale take on the spy spoof that really should know it's time to go to pasture. It sticks to its formula like glue and never wavers in its tired silliness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 27, 2020

The film's vanilla sense of humour is almost as retro as its protagonist.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 18, 2020

The formidable Emma Thompson costars as a harpy prime minister, and Olga Kurylenko plays the unlikely love interest; mediocre white men somehow manage to hoodwink them both.

No, Johnny English Strikes Again won't win any awards but it will resonate with fans of the character and Atkinson's shtick.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 12, 2019

It makes you have a good time making use of a type of humor that is a little old fashioned, but it still works if you know how to use it and Atkinson proves to know it. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 11, 2019

Should appeal to the older generation fond of uncomplicated comedy and, perhaps, introduce younger crowds to the effects of humour that doesn't rely on unnecessary crudeness to land a giggle.

| May 2, 2019

The comedy is just the right length for a popcorn-munching distraction, and it is packed with Atkinson's signature visual humor.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 19, 2019

While you could never call this a good film, it's an entertaining diversion for 90 minutes if this is your thing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 8, 2019

Johnny English Strikes Again isn't Rowan Atkinson's funniest work by a long shot, but the comedy legend is able to overcome a shabby script with his unique physical comedy skills and commitment to intricate gags.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 22, 2019

The plot is ludicrous, and talks about the internet like a confused grandmother trying to send an email, but if you're looking for Mr Bean-like laughs you've come to the right place.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2019

A funny but out of place physical romp as Rowan Atkinson returns as Johnny English, a secret agent stuck in the past who must face a very modern threat.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 31, 2018

Even fans of 2003's Johnny English (raising my hand here) and 2011's Johnny English Reborn (raising only a finger here) will be disappointed in this Johnny-come-lately.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 21, 2018

Johnny English Strikes Again is riddled with absurdities, funny moments and laughter-provoking situations. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 27, 2018

David Kerr's crafty direction wisely moves fire and explosions offstage or into the background.

| Nov 20, 2018

Rowan Atkinson does as much as he can with a so-so script. There's a scattergun approach to humour, with gags of varying length and quality tumbling around. But in the right frame of mind, with small children, it almost works.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 12, 2018

As physically elastic as ever, Rowan Atkinson proves to be very funny in his third James Bond spoof, a nutty, picturesque adventure through Europe that easily out-jokes the previous two films combined.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2018

I said that such James Bond spoofs were an exhausted genre and had worn out their welcome. Now I have to take it back; here's an inspired bullseye.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2018

Stilted, unimaginative, tiresome and utterly predictable - the quality of this comedic franchise is doing decidedly downhill.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 30, 2018
