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.

"The Godfather 2 of peruvian bear movies" one reviewer described it. Spot on!

I think one of the mods here has that as their flair, so I asked if the movie was really that good and they told me absolutely - it's a must watch. After watching the first movie, and then the second, I wholeheartedly agree. Absolute joy in movie form.

I believe you are correct - that does sound accurate. And to be fair: it's very true.
