Critics Consensus: 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.

Can't Rowan Atkinson's bumbling parody of James Bond just leave well enough alone?
Let's hope that this is the last strike for Johnny English.
Strings together gag after gag after gag at such a relentless clip that it's hard to do anything but double over laughing.
Those attuned to Atkinson's comic stylings - he can make chewing a stick of gum an absurd piece of physical comedy - will find plenty of chuckles in this lightweight threequel.
Every gag in this movie has already been done before, and better, presumably by one or both of the earlier Johnny English films.
The film doesn't offer many huge belly laughs - Atkinson has never been one for big comic climaxes - but it does deliver a fairly steady stream of pleasant chuckles, many of them mixed with generous doses of humiliation comedy.
Johnny English Strikes Again is riddled with absurdities, funny moments and laughter-provoking situations. [Full review in Spanish]
David Kerr's crafty direction wisely moves fire and explosions offstage or into the background.
Rowan Atkinson does as much as he can with a so-so script. There's a scattergun approach to humour, with gags of varying length and quality tumbling around. But in the right frame of mind, with small children, it almost works.
As physically elastic as ever, Rowan Atkinson proves to be very funny in his third James Bond spoof, a nutty, picturesque adventure through Europe that easily out-jokes the previous two films combined.
I said that such James Bond spoofs were an exhausted genre and had worn out their welcome. Now I have to take it back; here's an inspired bullseye.
Stilted, unimaginative, tiresome and utterly predictable - the quality of this comedic franchise is doing decidedly downhill.
