Thoughts on Johnny English Strikes Again

Johnny English Strikes Again looks to bring the aging agent back once again to solve England, using the age divide between digital and analog to search for the answers. It will continue the trend of Johnny getting involved in comedic situations. While trying to handle the series investigation.

This is nothing new, if you are the ones beforehand, you will end up enjoying, but if you don’t like the others. The movie will fall into the same slapstick attempts of comedy in the spy genre, that will miss more often than not. This is the Rowan Atkinson show, with the rest of the cast continuing to play things seriously, doing what they need to in the film without doing anything wrong.

Final Thoughts – Johnny English Strikes Again is more of the same again, nothing too much in the comedy world.
