Reviewer notes

RecommendedTrusted family reviewers

An improvement on <em>'Johnny English Reborn'</em>, if still a large distance off the entertaining original. <em>'Johnny English Strikes Again'</em> does feel more like the first film though, unlike the 2011 sequel. That's in positive and negative ways. The vibe of the film being one of the pluses, but one of the cons being a couple of scenes felt repeated from the original.…

Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers

_Johnny English_ is a franchise that continues to get worse with every movie they release, which obviously makes _Strikes Again_ (as the newest) the worst to date, but I will say, there is one sequence with a certain cannister of pills that I did genuinely enjoy. But digging five minutes out of an hour and a half is not really a rate good experience. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._
