Johnny English Strikes Again (2018) Review

Want comedy? Want to watch a spy trying to save the world? Then this film could be for you . . . .

Rowan Atkinson is back with this third instalment of Johnny English. Johnny English is brought out of retirement as he is the Secret Service's last hope. This new adventure is about cyber-attacks happening around Britain; firstly, the cyber-attack revealed the identities of all active undercover agents leaving Johnny English as the countries last hope to solve this case. To make this mission successful, Johnny English must use his few skills to overcome the challenges of modern-day technology. English isn't used to technology; he drives older models of car not hybrids and he doesn’t have a phone as he doesn’t see it as a necessary item. The car used in this film is actually Rowan Atkinson’s real car he brought 6 months before the film started being filmed. Johnny English is reunited with his friend Bough, played by Ben Miller, who is actually a lot smarter than English but English thinks of him as lesser than him. Another high star celebrity is in this film and that is Emma Thompson; she plays the Prime Minster. Emma Thompson’s appearance in this film was kept secret during filming and we only know she is in the film from the first trailer.


This film was hilarious to watch; there are non-stop laughs from start to finish. As the film goes on it just gets funnier and funnier; favourite moments of the film are the disco scene where Johnny English is dancing and the virtual reality scene. The whole audience in the cinema couldn’t stop laughing throughout the film. This film is worth a watch and you won't be disappointed, you get what is expected with a Johnny English film.


Johnny English Strikes Again is a laugh out film and should be seen. If you like comedies, then this film could be for you. It is pretty obvious who the villain is however this doesn’t take away from the humour of the film and still has an interesting and easy to follow plot. The plot is something that could happen in real life; this is due to the fact that technology is advancing constantly, and we are always under threat of bring hacked, as a result this plot could happen however it is very unlikely as there is constant security.


Excellent performances from the whole cast; this is a great film for anyone to watch. There is a rumour that this will be the last Johnny English film, and this is the last time Atkinson will play this role; Rowan Atkinson has played this role for the past 15 years. This is another reason to go and watch this film ASAP!! If it is the last film to made in this franchise, then that’s an important reason to go and see this film immediately.


Johnny English is back!
