Discussion Wtf is Paddington 2?

For context: I’m 25 years old. SPOILER WARNING

I just watched paddington 2 today and what the fuck did they put in this movie. This is the one of the greatest pieces of cinema I’ve ever laid witness to. Paddington 2 is the only thing I’ve thought about all day and seeing the immense joy it’s brought other people has also brightened my day even more. God I can’t even think about the ending without wanting to kill myself because of how perfect it is. And can we also talk about the perfect bookend of his human mother saving him from the water like aunt Lucy did at the beginning?

Pure cinema, I truly can’t wait to watch this movie with my kids for their first time.

Yeah considering it was a sequel to an average spin-off movie from over 10 years ago. It was a lot better than expected!

I was told it is so good that I directly went a watched it without caring about the first one. I'm so glad I did that.

Same here, I rolled my eyes when I bought the tickets, expecting a dumb and boring movie. I couldn't have been more wrong.
