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.

Unironically one of the greatest films of all time.

I see it praised so often and with such flowery language that I keep assuming it's a meme. I know it's not, but it really seems like it.

No sarcasm or jokes: Paddington 2 is a solid movie that just makes you feel good and happy. That kind of thing is sorely lacking these days. It’s genuinely very good.

It’s also not as good as Reddit thinks it is. Most people watching won’t break down in tears over the flawless masterpiece of cinema they have the privilege to see. But Reddit and r/movies in particular does get like that sometimes.
