IN MY OPINION:
The film Johnny English Strikes Again didn' t strike hard as it was expected to be hitting the big screens. Johnny English, the character being played by Rowan Atkinson had a lot of expectations. We all know that Rowan Atkinson, our favorite Mr.Bean is the king of silent comedy! And, those who have watched Mr.Bean series will be having high expectations from this movie but, will all end up in vain. The fun part( s) shown in the movie keeps the series alive. But, the level of comedy is not up to that extent being a Rowan Atkinson movie. Here, in this film RA works as a spy and brings up the laughter. The core reason behind his comedy is that what he plans is not what works out for him. It' s always the opposite what happens, showing as if his luck favors him a lot. He doesn' t solve cases because he is intelligent or a clever person but because he is very fortunate enough. But, strictly do not expect much from the film.
STAR - CAST:
Rowan Atkinson, Olga Kurylenko, Jake Lacy, Emma Thompson
PLOT OF THE MOVIE:
The story begins by showing that a hacker has hacked the British Intelligence Service, MI7, and the names of all undercover agents which are actually known to be spies are now accessible to everyone. It is only Johnny English who' s details are unable to be identified. So, Johnny English, who is now a geography teacher, is appointed by the Prime Minister ( Emma Thompson) to nail the culprit. Further, I won' t reveal what the real twist is, though it is predictable while you watch the movie. The plot doesn' t stand strong, it' s Mr. Bean who is the true pillar of this film.
PERFORMANCE:
As always, Rowan Atkinson is the show stealer of this movie. His laugh riot continues and there' s no end to it. He isn' t any James Bond at all but always manages to get the work done. Rowan Atkinson makes everyone laugh by making fool of himself on the big screen by tickling the funny bone of the audience. It' s delightful to watch Emma Thompson playing a light hearted role that too being a prime - minister.
MUSIC:
The music was good and fitted the storyline. The credits go for the background theme which well sets up the mood for a comical thriller!
CINEMATOGRAPHY:
The scenes are very well and effectively shooted. Especially, when Johnny English wears the VR set and walks through the real city. It helps in creating a healthy laughing session.
MY SUGGESTION TO YOU:
Johnny English Strikes Again is a complete family package movie. It will help you in lifting up your mood or if you are in a mood to watch a simple and light-hearted film, then you can definitely give it a watch.
Since Rowan Atkinson was the only reason for watching this movie, you can take it as a reason too.
MY RATING:
3.5/5
This 3.5 is only for Mr. Bean.
Thank you Mr. Bean for striking a smile on our faces.
