Johnny English 2 is fantastic. I watched it before it came out and I have to say, once it comes out everyone MUST go see it. It is not a total slapstick, childishly funny comedy. Quite the contrary; Johnny English Reborn is an amazing movie that entertains all ages. My mother was in hysterics at some points in the movie. I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone. The plot is not the simplest but not the hardest to follow either. There are many funny moments, many of which are in the trailer. The action is very...active. There is no gore or excessive blood. Most of the deaths are portrayed humorously and have funny sides. My positive review comes with one warning. Be EXTREMELY careful, no matter who you are with, where you are watching it, or when you are watching it, as this movie may cause excessive laughter. :) Enjoy.
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.

It was like watching Mission Impossible with a better looking Tom Cruise.
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.

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.

- TriviaLily Atkinson: The girl from whom Johnny steals a motorcycle helmet during his wheelchair chase is Rowan Atkinson's daughter.
- GoofsWhen English visits Tucker at his home, and Tucker is playing a racing game on his laptop, the movements of his car in-game seem to have nothing to do with his actions on the keyboard. When he then stands to close the curtains and talk to English, the car continues to behave as if being controlled, showing that it's just a demo video.
