Did you know that Rowan Atkinson’s film career began in 1983 with a supporting role in Never Say Never Again, touted as the “unofficial” James Bond movie? He did several other movies before he became Mr. Bean, the character that has become second skin to him.
First thing's first. Here's the trailer.
. Like it?
Now Johnny English reborn - The sequel to Johnny English - (A James Bond parody) is depending on how you take humour - "Unwatchable"? or it could be "unexpectedly hilarious"..
It was the formal for me, the later for my boyfriend.
The movie starts with Johnny hiding in Tibet after an assignment goes wrong. Living in shame, he is then trained in martial arts and then placed on an assignment to put a stop to the pending "assassination" of The Chinese Premier.
There are plenty of scenes where Johnny so effortlessly outsmarts his chinese opponents (A skilled kungfu dude, and a haughty (Creepy) faced granny (The people planning to assassinate the chinese premier). I probably preferred this half of the show alot better than the next where the stunts pulled were silly things like - the broken chair lever which caused Johnny's chair to heighten and lower to ridiculous levels. Or Johnny drinking a highly potent mind control elixir by mistake (which was no surprise)..
And the highlight: Johnny in Lipstick, Johnny is a wheelchair, and last but not least Johnny's rolls royce :)
All in all, I'll probably say watch it on a weekday if you have to. If you don't, the trailer has all the funny bits captured.
Sometimes I wished I was wendy in peter pan, or alice in wonderland. I'm a huge burton and depp fan, and I reckon the only anti-aging methodology is to have dreams, gun for them, and believe that disneyland is still the happiest place on earth.
