Movie review: Johnny English Reborn

I like a lot of Rowan Atkinson's work but he is not a leading man - and this movie is yet another example of that. I know it is supposed to be a funny satire of the Bond movies and the ideas are there - the opening foot pursuit with all the parkour moves, for example, but it just doesn't work for me. If this was done as a series of sketches on a comedy programme with an ensemble cast, it would work well but as a full-length movie, it just doesn't fly for me.

Dominic West and Gillian Anderson were both good - and it was funny seeing them both with English accents (West's, of course being very good!).
