The director of the previous two films, Paul King, decided not to direct this installment

Scenario

Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now lives at the Retired Bears Home. With the Brown family at the helm, an exciting adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey..

Next up is Paddington (2014)

However, he pitched the idea for this third film and acted as an executive producer. If, like me, you agree that the first two Paddington films are among the greatest films ever made, this will be both a pleasure and a disappointment.

It's just another jungle adventure moviebut with a bear

Since it's not about Paddington adjusting to living with a family in London, or how a normal family adjusts to life with a bear, it loses its original charm and certainly its humor. It has a different feel to it - more sentimental and visibly less funny.

I could say we need more of the Browns and their neighborswe might as well say we need Sally Hawkins, but what's the point

While the first two were fun for a crusty old Marx Brothers fan like myself, this one is definitely more of a family film, clearly aimed at kids. We had all of that in the first two, and since they were...dare I say, perfect, there was no point in trying to copy them.

Routine family fun, not hilariously weird cuteness

So yes, it's different, horribly over-sentimental at times and nothing short of funny, but it's still Paddington. https://rpinternationalgroup.com/2024/11/04/here-2024-web-web-dl-download-via-magnet/
