The Rotten Tomatoes Critics’
Consensus reads: “Johnny English Strikes Again might get a few giggles out of viewers pining for buffoonish pratfalls, but for the most part, this sequel simply strikes out.”

Fans of Atkinson and of the Johnny English franchise should be happy enough with the new adventure but even they may wonder if the filmmakers could have done just a little more to bring Johnny English into the modern age.
Assortment essayist Owen Gleiberman stated:
There are a minor handful of scenes in Johnny English Strikes Again that will make you laugh. A bit.
The spin-off begins when a digital assault uncovers the personalities of all dynamic covert operators in Britain.
This leaves blundering, bumbling, luddite Johnny English as the mystery administration’s last expectation.
With his powerlessness to utilize innovation and his absence of an advanced mobile phone, he is the main covert operative who can’t be hacked.
In this manner, he is gotten out of retirement and plunges heedlessly vigorously with the mission to discover the driving force programmer.
The official rundown proceeds:
As a man with few skills and analogue methods, Johnny English must overcome the challenges of modern technology to make this mission a success.
In spite of the dreary reaction from commentators, the motion picture may at present interest to the individuals who long for Atkinson’s comedic ability, regardless of whether it appears to be squandered in this spin-off.
His co-stars are similarly popular and capable, from Emma Thompson as the Prime Minister to Ben Miller as the side-kick.
In any case, even these abilities appear to be unequipped for lifting the film past its 38 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating.
