Johnny English - La rinascita

Johnny must redeem himself in a plot against the Chinese Premier. He's back and Johnny English Reborn is actually one of those sequels that outshines the original. While he's older and much of the comedy still is at it's very basic, Mr Bean as a spy, it works a lot better in this film. The plot seems simpler, the idiocy seems to be kept more 'in-check' and it just made the film that bit more enjoyable rather than annoying.

This is not to say I didn't enjoy the 2003 film Johnny English, I did. It was cute and funny with a great cast, if occasionally a little too silly and predictable. Johnny English Reborn I was of two minds whether it would work, it looked very funny and interesting, but I worried that it would be too more of the same or that Daniel Kaluuya would be overused or irritating.

What a surprise! Johnny English Reborn was very thrilling and funny. It is not flawless, while the story is more original this time around it does take some time to set up, part of me felt that the film could've been shorter and Kaluuya's character is performed with enthusiasm if rather annoying and imitative of Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour movies.

However, visually it is striking with great locations and efficient editing and cinematography, and the soundtrack is rousing and memorable. This time around I found the direction an improvement, glossier and more assured, and while some may find the set pieces and effects on the slapsticky side I thoroughly enjoyed them.

I found them neatly choreographed, well performed and also they showed off Rowan Atkinson's strengths. The script is constantly lively and amusing, with some fun laugh-out-loud moments. I for one loved the cast. Rosamund Pike, Dominic West and especially Gillian Anderson are appropriately straight-faced, but it is Atkinson's(once again doing what he does best and playing to his strengths) show all the way, his facial expressions especially are a delight.

All in all, much better than anticipated and one of for me one of the bigger surprises of this year so far. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This movie is priceless. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The comedy is prefect and in place. The acting of Rowan Atkinson and the side characters combine for a perfect movie.

The story might be simple but still its an amazing movie.

I mean come on who can not like Mr. Bean.

Britain's beloved spy is back in Oliver Parker's new spy adventure 'Johnny English Reborn'. Needless to say, the film spoofs the spy action thriller genre (the first titles that pop in mind are those James Bond flicks) and does an excellent job in doing so. And of course, Atkinson is playing the lead so one can expect at least some laugh out loud moments (and there are many of them). The script is funny and the amusing action sequences are remarkably shot. The title role was obviously written for Rowan Atkinson and he performs all guns blazing, tickling you to the bone. Very few can pull off slapstick as well as he does. He is accompanied by two smoking hot beauties, Gillian Anderson (who does a very impressive fake British accent as she stresses and stretches each word) and Rosamund Pike (as a professional behavioural therapist who inadvertently happens to know hypnotherapy). Dominic West does a good evil villain.

With a solid balance of story, dialogue, action and humour, 'Johnny English Reborn' is a terrific sequel. One doesn't have to have watched the first film to fully enjoy this one. I was enjoying it so much that I found myself wanting more when it finished.
