The director of the two previous films, Paul King, has decided not to direct this installment
Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey..
However, he pitched the idea for this third film and was involved as an executive producer
Featured in Graham Norton i gosti: Billy Crystal/Emily Mortimer/Hugh Bonneville/Pharrell Williams/Michael Kiwanuka (2024). The first two Paddington films were great fun and full of charm, alongside some superb cameos.
Paddington 3 is very run of the mill by comparison
This film never quite gets going and you wonder what happened to the scriptwriters. Generally the performances are a bit clunky or barely fleshed out, and there are precious few laughs.A real shame as Paddington 2 in particular was a gem, mostly driven by Hugh Grant being superb but ably supported by the prison crew.
it needed a much better script, fleshed out characters and funnier action scenes
An hour after watching it, you will perhaps hardly remember it at all….
