The Worst Film Ever

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the first 'Paddington' movie, this sequel was a must see for me. Not only does it not disappoint, as so many hyped movie sequels do, it exceeds all expectations and is arguably the better of the two films. 'Paddington 2' is another visual feast - the warm, vibrant animation is just phenomenal and a delight to watch, and the London setting is once again captured perfectly.In terms of the plot, I actually think 'Paddington 2' is even more enjoyable than its predecessor. It's full of ideas and creativity and contains so many laughs and memorable individual scenes. The cast is also brilliant, with the two Hughs (Grant & Bonneville) delivering particularly entertaining performances in their roles. And of course, Paddington is as charming as ever. This is another perfect family film and a sequel that, for once, lives up to all expectations.

Not as good as lots of people are making out, I thought a little dull and predictable once it got stated. It's ok, but not the best film of the year, this is far big an accolade to place on this film. I will say that I thought Hugh Grant was the best thing in the film. My kids got bored and not finished watching it yet and they are 7 and 4 years of age so this does not bode well for this.

First, it's a bland formula storyline. Lost treasure to be found in old book found in, of course, an antique store. Second, blandly bad were the characterizations especially Hugh Grant putting in a weak effort to semi play himself as a self-centered washed up actor which judging from his acting here isn't that far off. Third, lots of stereotyped characters in stereotyped roles e.g. prisoners as Paddington foils. Fourth, the worst part was the unimaginative unwillingness to spend time & money to upgrade the CGI animation quality i.e. compared to, let's say, Peter Rabbit. Fifth, also unlike PR, the song & dance, a mainstay of such animations, was a weak half-hearted effort. Overall, not original at all.

I just saw P2 at a matinee, though less than 10 children there. THEY laughed and laughed. Actually, I laughed and laughed as well ! The cast is the treasure in this show, from the outstanding Sally Hawkins to Papa Bear himself, Hugh Bonneville. And how is that Hugh Grant has a thing acting as the failed actor? Well, he's over the top and wonderful in this flic. Oddly, Paddington himself didn't overwhelm me. He's supposed to see the best in everybody, and often does, but you don't really see him do this with the more challenging people (other than Nuckles) like Felix. All in all, a fun film with lots of laughs.
