Johnny English is just ok. It's a bit dated in places and it's quite cheaply put together. Natalie Imbruglia is very enticing as a fellow agent, and Tasha de Vasconcelos is absolutely ravishing in the early scene (pity she wasn't in more of the film). John Malovich hams it up nicely as a stereotypical Frenchman but his accent is awful. Ben Miller isn't too memorable as a sidekick however. I found it picks up nicely towards the end but is a bit flat through the middle.
Johnny English Reborn is a whole different kettle of fish entirely. I was really impressed and found myself in stitches on more than one occasion. They obviously upped the budget considerably, and there are some really fine action sequences, like the cable car finale. They got the cast right with this one too. If the always superb Gillian Anderson isn't enough, they also have the excellent Rosamund Pike in a fairly large supporting role. Dominic West (could easily have been Bond imho) and Daniel Kaluuya are also outstanding in their parts.
Great stuff, and now I can't wait for the next installment. I just hope they don't resort to overt cheap CGI in lieu of real location work. It's perhaps the success of Kingsman that has brought Johnny out of retirement. Got to keep the British end up.
Enjoy!

Trailer.
Teaser poster.
Better than the SP poster I suppose.
How weird wouldn't that be, if he did! :))
Not if he keeps those super tight suits from SF/SP. ;)
Nice remember to Roger Moore also. And that car.
Atkinson's attire in that trailer looks better fitting than Craig's in SP!
They're calling this film Johnny English 3.0 in my country. What a lame title. The original one is infinitely better. Who knows what research told them to change it.
Nice poster! Agree with @mattjoes regarding Atkinson's attire. Maybe EON should have a look at the costume and wardrobe people from JE Strikes Again?
The UK release date is 05 October 2018 and American release is stil 26 October 2018.
In 2016 Bridget Jones 3 did very good with release date in the 3th weak of September and whas moost succesfull movie of 2011 In The Netherlands. Johnny English Reborn released on 06 October 2011 and did 4,6 million.
Of course with earlier release date it is easier to promote movie with Mamma Mia 2 (18 July) and Mission Impossible 6 (02 August). Also Sony is releasing the Spider-Man spinoff
''Venom'' on 04 October 2018 and Warner Mogli on 18 October.
…but not as nice as Olga!
