Johnny English Reborn

Intro

The funniest man alive is back in a sequel to Johnny English. Rowan Atkinson is a can of slapstick, satire and absurdly funny facial expressions all put together for mass consumption. The can has been carefully preserved for many a years, for us common folk to consume once in a while- on sick days or such days when we feel horribly low. If Atkinson cannot make you laugh, then no one can. 

Synopsis

The bungling secret agent is back and will now have to fight a mysterious assassin organization called the vortex. Not only has he recovered and learnt from a horrible mistake he committed in Mozambique, but he also has stronger balls from training with the Tibetian monks. 

Good 

Its a funny movie that will make even conservative pricks laugh out in childish joy. This man can make you laugh by controlling his facial muscles and making them twitch like never done or seen before. Now those of you who are wondering, if this is is a tribute to Mr.Atkinson or a review for Johnny English Reborn beware. It is impossible to separate the man from his movies for he is in every frame (not technically verified) every dialogue and every laughter or the heart attack resulting from it.


The plot points are very good and this movie does not solely depend on Mr.Atkinson's god given talents (If you have watched his satirical sketches then devil given talents). This movie's story, though far from being legendary, keeps a good pace and accommodates the legendary comedian's antics very well indeed.  

Bad

The ending as rather bad. Not going to give it away, but after working meticulously on the script the script writer has slacked majorly when it came to writing the last few scenes.


And the movie was only 80% as funny as the 1st part. The sequel failed to exceed the first one by about half a mile.

Ugly 


The ugliness of human nature is revealed in this movie as we laugh at another's misery. My mom always resented 'Tom and Jerry' for the same reason. But she did not stop her children from watching the cartoon and neither did she prevent herself from laughing out loud. Atkinson head locks two old women (in different scenes) and hits them repeatedly on the head with a food tray. One of the women is the Queen of England herself. He mistook them for a Chinese assassin who is an old lady in disguise. You can see why this can be very funny. Hysterically even...


Perhaps a more seasoned psychologist can throw light on this phenomenon.
