Review #19542 - Dated: 4th of May, 2018
Author: raz_1984 |
I am always dubious with sequel movies, as I have watched so many bad ones. Some I couldn't even finish watching. But I sat down with Miss 6 and Miss 2 to give it a try. Miss 6 had watched Paddington last year at school so was very excited to watch the second one. So we sat down on the couch with our popcorn and blankets, and got comfy to watch what we hoped would be a delightful sequel. After a rough few weeks of severe allergic reaction, broken bones and chicken pox, it was a nice and relaxing movie time that we desperately needed.
With a dubious mindset (unfortunately I couldn't turn it off), we set off on an adventure once again with Paddington Bear; an enchanting bear from Peru with carries an old whimsical battered suitcase, and wears a dufflecoat and bright red hat.Well did my mindset change quickly or what!! Beautiful cinematography from the very start of the movie which integrated the live-action roles with the computer-generated Paddington. Packed full of adventure from the very start, the action never stopped. The barbershop antics was a particular highlight with all of us, and we couldn't stop laughing at the troublesome bear. A real rollercoaster ride for Paddington throughout the entire movie, with scene after scene to engage us all (or most of the time, as it was still quite long of a movie for Miss 2 to sit long enough, but she always came back after a little play to watch more action).
Overall it was a fantastic movie which played on par with the first Paddington movie. With a major storyline playing through the entire movie of a bear wrongly accused or theft, it led to hilarious antics while he is in prison and made for the situation to be very lighthearted which was good when watching with 2 young girls. Most definitely a favourite part of the movie was the London landmarks which were shown throughout the movie as clues to another storyline of a secret treasure. This part was special as my husband and I travelled to London 9 years ago so I was able to show many of the landmarks to our girls using our own photos, and proving that they are really just like the movie shows. A movie I would watch again with the girls, or even by myself, and one I would recommend with similar aged kids.
