Story : Someone needs to tell Rowan Atkinson that playing James Bond-type music over (sometimes humorous) action sequences is no longer enough to fool audiences that they are watching a good comedy!
Johnny English Reborn is a self-penned attempt by Rowan Atkinson to resurrect his movie character of Johnny English, a former British Intelligence Service agent (effectively Mr Bean in a tuxedo) called back from disgrace to thwart a plot to kill a Chinese politician.
Eight years is a long time between an original film and its sequel. Unfortunately, during the intervening years since 2003, there have only been two new "classic" James Bond films (Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace) and so there is little left that is new to parody that hasn't already been covered by Austin Powers or MacGruber.
Apparently, Pierce Brosnan was originally rumoured to have had a support role in Johnny English Reborn and you can only wonder what sort of send-up Brosnan would have given his Bond role if he had appeared.
The gap in years between the two Johnny English films has not done a lot for Atkinson. Although the same could have been said about Harrison Ford in the last Indiana Jones sequel, Atkinson is really starting to show his age (56 years).
His only film appearance of note since 2003 was in another sequel, this time as Mr Bean in Mr Bean's Holiday, and so it could be argued that he is starting to rest on his laurels.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of new directions he can go, unless he wants to re-boot the Blackadder franchise!
Johnny English Reborn is very much a "formula" movie (although the same had been said of its predecessor) containing all the key elements that Atkinson has used so well over the years.
Some of these elements work, particularly his visual comedy, but most do not.
The sequence when Johnny English receives his weaponry from a "Q-type" was funny, and effective use is made of well-known locations in London and the Alps.
Bondian sequences such as ski-ing down the slopes and several fight sequences were well done and raised a laugh, but Atkinson's attempts at romance fell a little flat.
It is worth noting that Atkinson's love interest in Johnny English Reborn is played by Rosamund Pike (herself a former Bond Girl from Die Another Day) who makes a big impression. Gillian Anderson plays the "M-type" head of British Intelligence but she is no Judi Dench!
Despite all this, the film did get a good reaction from the audience as a whole and probably will go on to do some reasonable business at the school holiday box office.
