Too little too late?


Johnny English Reborn (2011)

Directed by Oliver Parker this sequel stars Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, Rosamund Pike and Dominic West. The bumbling English secret agent returns to try to stop a plan to assassinate the Chinese Premier.

It took 8 years for this sequel to arrive and you have to wonder why they bothered after such a long gap. By no means is this a terrible film but it is one of the more pedestrian Bond spoofs out there and there are more Bond spoofs knocking around than you can shake a stick at. The problem with this film is it always takes the easy, predictable option both in plot and comedy giving no surprises or real laugh out loud moments.

3/5
