I really enjoyed Paddington in Peru, it has a lot of excellence. The cast is wonderful, the visuals are stunning, there are some laughs and it's overall very charming. Did I laugh as much as I did with the other Paddington films? No, but I DID laugh. Does Antonio Banderas make as strong a villain as Hugh Grant? No, but he was clearly having a lot of fun with the role(s). Did I tear up at the end? Of course I did. This is the weakest of the Paddington films, BUT it's still an excellent film. I did roll my eyes twice, though: 1) Chekov's spider. The moment the image of that spider appeared ("Actual size?!") I knew where that was going and the actual bit with the spider went on for too long. 2) Odd for a film set in Peru not to have one Peruvian character or even actor. Not even the nuns. I will happily see Paddington in Peru again, and return to London for Paddington 4. Was having a discussion at work about the "best films ever" as you do. When I said I counted Paddington 2 as one of the best, my colleagues laughed at me. I said "Do you know anyone who didn't enjoy Paddington 2?" and after a moment's thought the response was "No". These films are great. Unlike most franchises which are stale and boring by #3, I look forward to more.
I Did Watch The Film on The Day of It’s Release On November 8th 2024 and I (Personally) Think Falls into the Category of other movies such as ‘Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi’ (1983) And ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ (2012) with them Being Great in it’s Own Right but Not as Great as the First 2 Films That Came Before it. So with it being the same thing With ‘Paddington In Peru’ (2024). And Remember The Time we’re Sam Raimi at one point said that he Didin’t Like ‘Spider-Man 3’ (2007) and wanted to improve it with The planned 4th instalment but unlike Paul King’s franchise, This one Got cancelled due to Creative differences between him and Sony. So (on a Personal Level) I Think that This franchise is in its positive place despite the movie’s issues. Overall Good Review.
Fair review man, me personally I enjoyed Paddington in Peru, though so I will say it's easily the weakest of the trilogy for me. I haven't reviewed it yet but I'm planning to eventually so do stay tuned for it!

I’m glad you had a great time with it and yeah it will definitely be interesting to see what they have planned for the 4th instalment!
Great review!
Thank you! :)

Thank you, yeah you’re spot on with the comparison to The Dark Knight Trilogy etc!
