Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) returns from training in Tibet after his dismissal. Pegasus (Gillian Anderson) is the new boss of MI-7. Kate Sumner (Rosamund Pike) is the behavioral psychologist. Agent One Simon Ambrose (Dominic West) is still with the service. English is paired up with junior agent Colin Tucker to go to Hong Kong. Ex-CIA agent Titus Fisher (Richard Schiff) tells him about a secret group called Vortex who are looking to assassinate the Chinese Premier.I like the character more this time around. He starts off as a buffoon who knows he's a buffoon. The Tibet section is a great start. The movie has a few laughs spoofing James Bond. English is actually funnier if he's merely competent like when he recalls his Tibetan teachings to chase after the Parkour guy. It is hilarious because they're directly making fun of Bond. It's much funnier than simply being an idiot. The chase in HK is hilarious. It's too bad that the movie doesn't get back to that level of comedy.

Not as good as the first Johnny English for me. I felt nothing for this movie but dullness. No suspense, no witty humor, no horror, no well-thought out skits, no sadness, no happiness, no intrigue. Just one lame attempt after another at lazy, trite situations. The plot attempted was more complex for this mind numbing movie to pull off and really I could not even follow what the entire point of the plot was about, nor did I care cause, you know, I felt nothing except, "oh my gosh when does this end".It's all relative though. Seems like many other people liked it. However, it does appear that many of the people who really liked this movie did not like the first one as much and the people who really liked the first Johnny English lot did not care as much for this sequel.

Do yourselves a favor and trust me when I say you must avoid this film.When I see a film as bad as this one I despair of the film industry as a whole. I wonder how on earth anyone would finance such an unfunny, banal, formulaic, unoriginal and almost completely predictable (apart from keeping the token black actor alive) film, but then I remember that the British government has been giving huge tax breaks to encourage the film industry to invest into 'British' films. if this cow pat of a film is a typical result, then the British taxpayer has been robbed blind. This money ought to be paying for higher risk productions (i.e not based solely on getting financial reward) to engender new talent especially in writing and direction.One day I hope that cinema will start reaching the heights that currently only seem to be being reached on TV - watch Game of Thrones, quite superb!
