how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 121 comments (96 from Reddit, 23 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 32 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Warm most of the way through. Early on it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Marked above the line: 1 that gave people chills, 3 that got a real laugh.

“There’s a moment towards the end when Johnny English, clad in a full suit of knight’s armour, is silhouetted by an enormous mushroom cloud. A haunting and beautiful analogy for the eternal conflict of tradition and technology and how the two will forever be at odds. Stunning.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“Most refreshingly, Johnny English Strikes Again is the rare secret-agent film that feels wholly unself-conscious.”
John Semley, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 75
“Here, however, Atkinson may even outdo Cruise, with the comedian hurling his 63-year-old body into the service of comedy.”
Pat Padua, Washington Post · 63
“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.”
Jesse Hassenger, The A.V. Club · 50
“Johnny English Strikes Again has a few more laughs and far fewer cringes (and stereotypes) than the two films that preceded it. Plus it knows where to steal from. Watching it is like having a good time by proxy.”
Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times · 50
“In between all of these delights is an awful lot of filler”
Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times · 50

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
