Anybody seen the trilogy? Basically Mr. Bean meets James Bond, resulting in a lovable parody of the spy genre. If I had to rank the three, I would say:

3. Johnny English Reborn, it had no Bough, and some of the jokes were predictable. But I did like Johnny's redemption arc, and the more dramatic moments in the second and third acts.

2. Johnny English Strikes Again. The film dialled each first movie's joke up to eleven, something which I appreciated, and brought back Bough as the one and only straight man that can match Johnny. But the latter's difficulties in adjusting to a modern spy world weren't explored enough.

1. Johnny English. The one that started it all, with each cast member having their moments, like John Malkovich or Natalie Imbruglia. The plot was somewhat unique in my opinion, and the jokes felt its most fresh. Special mention goes to the "fake attacker in room", "E flat" and car chase scenes.

I rank it the same way as you do, mate.

The first one is the best.

I haven't seen the other two myself. ^_^;; But I do agree that the first one is excellent. XD [tup]

Princess Aurora is underrated, pass it on.

I didn't even know there was a third one. I now have something to track down and watch ASAP.

Otherwise, loved the first one, hated the second one.
