Most refreshingly, Johnny English Strikes Again is the rare secret-agent film that feels wholly unself-conscious. Read full review

The film runs out of ideas so quickly that Atkinson literally resorts to dropping his pants to get a laugh from his saggy bare bottom. Read full review

It’s not complicated. But there are worse things in life than 88 minutes of uncomplicated chuckling. Read full review

While the gentle mediocrity of it all is somewhat charming at first — even with such tired material, Atkinson is still a reliably sweet and well-intentioned screen presence — it doesn’t take long for the film to wear out its welcome. Read full review

Try as he might, Rowan Atkinson’s slapstick pratfalls and rubbery expressions can’t stretch over the feature’s brazen attempt to rehash past glories. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

The humour feels as if it is pitched at kids rather than adults, and for me Johnny English’s wacky misadventures aren’t as inventive and focused as Atkinson’s silent-movie gags in the persona of Bean. Read full review

Derek Smith

Relying on such arcane gags as prat falls in knight’s armor, fake French accents, and an array of gadget-based explosions, Johnny English Strikes Again seems almost hellbent on aiming for the lowest common denominator at every turn. Read full review

A Lot of people don't rate this, but Rowan is at his best again. Could not stop laughing. I would highly recommend seeing this.

Johnny English Strikes Again is a great time. The jokes were amazing because of Rowan Atkinson's great performance.

Johnny English strikes again excellently captures the cinematography from the spy genre it is spoofing which is a huge plus. Because the characters are each taking the world so seriously I found the comedy here works better for this reason than in the many other modern contemporaries. I laughed out loud multple times expecially with Rowan's clowning antics. Overall this is perfect to watch in a family setting or if you're a fan of the spy/comedy genre.… Expand

Even though the story was not good at all, it was the funniest of the trilogy

Too many unfunny jokes or slapstick which is overplayed already. I did like the first ones, but this keeps repeating most of the stuff and the jokes get really predictable. Somehow wasn't that funny altogether. SO basically quite average

There are a few humorous moments sprinkled into what would otherwise be a long, slow, dull, and completely forgettable spy-movie spoof. Avoid this unless you must see Rowan Atkinson.
