Paddington 2

It's another winner. Paddington 2 is just adorable. The animation is even better this time around, and Hugh Grant produces a dastardly protagonist to make this sequel stand out when the comic charms of the titular hero wear.

B+

Super cute and funny. On par with the first, maybe even a tad better. Hugh Grant is great and the ending is adorable. A-

Paddington 2 is being unfairly categorized as a kids movie! Sure, on a superficial level it is going to become an all-time children's classic film, however the sophisticated humor employed by the clever screenplay is only ever going to be fully enjoyed by adults. Paddington 2 is an outright masterpiece. The animation and the real world set design are astoundingly beautiful, I wish I could have seen it on an IMAX screen. Best of all: this is the Empire Strikes Back of the series - Paddington goes deep, deep into the dark side in this one. The cast features a wide array of British cinema royalty ably backed by vast chorus lines of ne'er-do-wells. I still can't stop smiling from the charm explosion that is Paddington 2. *A+*


(The mid-credits extra scene is a must see.)

(I'm happy that I'm finally getting to watch the last few of the 2017 films, and luckily I haven't finalized my 2017 Top Ten list yet, because Paddington 2 is the best movie I've seen this past year.)

Excellent film. A. There's honestly nothing to criticize, just as with the original.

Paddington and Paddington 2 are certainly among the best all-around great films this decade, in my opinion.

Agree with rest of the reviews here. This is such a fun and great movie to watch with the entire family. Everything about this film is great and I hope we get to see another entry. Some of the funny bits are a bit too over-the-top but they didn't hinder my experience.

8/10

I gave the first Paddington a B+.

This takes everything I liked about it and multiplies it by 1000. It is such a wonderful movie and everyone should see it. In this world, even Hugh Grant’s irredeemable villain character gets a happy ending in prison.

Thought I'd watch this again since when I saw it at the cinema I was getting drowsy in the second half. It's adorable and delightful, and just as good as the first. A

Look forward to the third film, and hope the villain again steals the show. Grant is magnificent.
