Review of Johnny English Reborn (2011) by Aruni N — 12 Oct 2012
Rowan Atkinson's performance is the best reason to see the film. He is great playing characters like Johnny English or Mr. Bean. Film wise, I thought the first film was a little bit better than this one. The film does have some funny moments in it.
The film had 2 problems, in my opinion. The first, it lacked a memorable villain. John Malkovich was hilarious as the villain in the first film. I was also not surprised at who the villain in the sequel turned out to be. The second problem I had with the film was that Daniel Kaluuya was miscast as Rowan's sidekick in the film. They don't have a good on screen chemistry. Johnny English's sidekick in the first film was much better. That actor had a great chemistry with Rowan.
Despite the flaws, the film is worth checking out, especially cause of Rowan Atkinson.
