The most prominent heads of state in the world begin gathering for a conference that could have a major impact on global politics. When MI-7 receives word that the Chinese premier has become the target of some high-powered killers, it falls on Johnny English to save the day. Armed with the latest high-tech weaponry and gadgets that would make even James Bond jealous, the once-disgraced agent uncovers evidence of a massive conspiracy involving some of the world's most powerful organisations, and vows to redeem his tarnished reputation by stopping the killers before they can strike.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Johnny English has been 5 years in retirement in Tibet learning the ways of the master. He is called out of retirement for a mission to China to hunt down "Vortex" an assassination group out to kill the Chinese premier. There are 3 keys, or key parts that must be gathered together to have access to a secret weapon.The first good joke was the "Toshiba" sponsor sign for MI-7 secret services. The humor is more than just slapstick. Rowan Atkinson combines the sophistication and intellect of James Bond with the zaniness of Peter Sellers. Indeed, for those who loved Peter Sellers would also enjoy Atkinson who doesn't attempt to copy Sellers, but rather create a character in his own style reminiscent of the master. The early scene with the cat had me laughing out loud at the classic style of Atkinson.English is aided by agent Tucker (Daniel Kaluuya), a sidekick that has his own failings. Excellent use of the sound track. Worth seeing. Simply hilarious.Good family movie for the older kids. Imagine a good comedy without all that crude humor (okay it has some kicks to the groin).No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Johnny English goes up against international assassins hunting down the Chinese premier. Johnny English: Reborn is an amazing, hilarious and action packed sequel it fixed many things from the first for example the jokes hit the spot most of the time, the villain is way more interesting and the run time is also better with the film having more story and more and Rowan Atkinson is even better this time as the title character the movie also has a much better cast than the first famous and talented people such as Dominic West and Rosamund Pike and X-Files star Gillian Anderson. Watching this film in the theaters was amazing back in the day and i don't regret it at all both the director and the entire cast did such a fantastic job with this film than any reboot does this days i give Johnny English: Reborn a 10 out of 10.

Johnny English has been thrown out of MI7 following a disastrous operation in Mozambique and has retreated to Tibet where he is learning kung fu at a remote monastery. He is called back into the service though when a plot to assassinate the Chinese Premier is uncovered. He goes to Hong Kong, with junior agent Colin Tucker, where he learns of a secret organisation known as 'Vortex' one of its members informs him that Vortex is a group of three assassins and that they were responsible for the events on Mozambique… he also explains that each member has a key and that all three are needed for Vortex to carry out its missions. Before he can say anything else he is killed by an elderly Chinese cleaning lady. English manages to get the key but loses it again before he can give it to his boss. He tracks down a second member of Vortex who tells him that the third member is an MI7 agent. It is rather unfortunate that the one person English trusts is in fact the traitor and it isn't long before he is accused of being part of Vortex and hunted by the security services; the only people he can turn to for help are Tucker and Kate Sumner, MI7's behavioural psychologist. If he is to foil Vortex's plan he will have to venture to a secure location at the top of a Swiss mountain and confront the traitor on last time.The original 'Johnny English' film was fun if rather silly; this was more fun and a bit less silly. The story feels very much like a typical Bond film but is obviously played for laughs. The early Tibetan training section is funny and proves relevant later on. Before English goes on the mission we get a scene which nicely spoofs the visits Bond used to visit Q's lab; this was spot on and Tim McInnerny does a fine job as Patch Quartermain, the quartermaster who has blown off several of his limbs creating his devices. Once the mission is underway we get a series of really good set pieces; English giving chase to an opponent skilled in parkour in Hong Kong and by simply going round various obstacles rather than vaulting them; English fleeing through London in a supercharged wheelchair and the final confrontation in the alps that could almost have come from 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service. There is also a nice running gag featuring the Chinese assassin where English attacks the wrong woman. The cast is solid with Rowan Atkinson going a fine job as Johnny English, Gillian Anderson plays it impressively straight as English's boss and Rosamund Pike is good as Kate Sumner. Dominic West makes a good villain and Daniel Kaluuya does a decent job as Tucker. Overall I'd recommend this to anybody wanting a good laugh as well as a few thrills.

I remember watching this on the plane back from Hong Kong four years ago. I couldn't sleep and wanted to kill the long flight hours by watching what in-flight movies were available, which included this one. By coincidence, there's a scene in Hong Kong when Johnny English says thank you in Mandarin, when the official language is actually Cantonese. Whether that was a deliberate joke or an ignorant attempt at accuracy, I don't know.Having seen the first film when it first came out, I have to say this sequel fares a lot worse. All the 'jokes' here backfire horribly. One such 'joke' is when Johnny English attempts to capture who he thinks is the cleaning lady assassin, but it turns out to be an innocent old woman, who he had proceeded to beat up in front of a group of children. What was supposed to be slapstick, turned out forced and sadistic.Not including what was on the trailers, I think there were only one or two small moments in this entire film I found funny, but everything that made it terrible has overshadowed my ability to remember them.
