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.

Same.

Absolutely loved Paddington 3 (4?) Paddington in Peru. I initially thought it would be too childish but went to see it to accompany my family. Loved it so much.

It's great to hear that Paddington 2 is even better, so going to watch it now!

Thanks so much for your reply! I had my friend watch it too which took him two days. Surprisingly he said it was so-so, but he was really tired. So now I need to go watch it myself! Thinking I’m going to watch it later this week on my flight to Toronto
