Washington Post
Here, however, Atkinson may even outdo Cruise, with the comedian hurling his 63-year-old body into the service of comedy. - 50
The A.V. Club
Johnny English Strikes Again might actually come closer to success than its predecessors, if only by default. At very least, it proceeds unencumbered by excess story machinations. - 42
IndieWire
While the gentle mediocrity of it all is somewhat charming at first — even with such tired material, Atkinson is still a reliably sweet and well-intentioned screen presence — it doesn’t take long for the film to wear out its welcome. - 40
The Guardian
The humour feels as if it is pitched at kids rather than adults, and for me Johnny English’s wacky misadventures aren’t as inventive and focused as Atkinson’s silent-movie gags in the persona of Bean. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Johnny English Strikes Again is an oddly mirthless addition to the series. - 40
Screen Daily
Try as he might, Rowan Atkinson’s slapstick pratfalls and rubbery expressions can’t stretch over the feature’s brazen attempt to rehash past glories. - 40
Variety
There are a minor handful of scenes in Johnny English Strikes Again that will make you laugh. A bit. - 38
Movie Nation
It’s easier talking about the film’s most promising bits, because too little of the rest of it has anything particularly funny to offer.
