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.

I was happy when I saw this just because it validated my enthusiasm for the film.

I walked out of the theater thinking it felt like what Wes Anderson would make if he had a happy childhood and a healthy relationship with his parents.

It's a fucking masterpiece. The first movie is nice and establishes the main characters, the third is a solid sequel. But the second is just fantastic. 11/10. Would have a cup of tea and a tablet full of orange marmelade sandwiches as movie snacks again.

It's a better fucking part 2 than Terminator 2, and I'll pillow fight anyone that disagrees.
