Well this week, it was definitely slim pickings in terms of viewing options, so slim in fact, they were anorexic. First things first, the titles sequence was so 80s Bond, it wasn't just a homage, it was pathetic. The "homage" continued into a free-runner scene that was reminiscent of Casino Royal, then again in the form of Batman Begins with the Tibetan training.
Sadly, the sequel of Johnny English has gone the same way as Rowan Atkinson's sequel to Bean. The first of the two were funny with things maybe teetering on the edge of ridiculous, then with the second of the two going so far over the edge of ridiculous it was annoying (with some mildly funny moments). It's slightly depressing to think of all of Rowan Atkinson's wit and ingenuity and then about this crap that he turns out. Instead of 007, it's double oh no.
