Paddington

A fun movie for the entire family.

A movie which one can genuinely describe as 'a touching film'. Not only does this make for a powerful (and important message) about caring for others, but it's also exciting and funny (never taking itself too seriously). The cast, in particular Hawkins, Bonneville, Kidman and Capaldi, really step into their roles with verve (Simon Farnaby is always good value even in small roles). Whishaw as the voice of Paddington works really well. The CGI that constitutes Paddington is super impressive.

It doesn't happen often but this is a really fun movie for all the family to enjoy. Its amazing how the adventures of a CGI bear travelling to London can be so captivating but also so enjoyable. The story has a slap stick approach but the gags really work and every scene is very well choreographed/animated. I don't know how different the film would have been with Colin Firth's voice as Paddington but Ben Whishaw seems the perfect replacement. I highly recommend this movie,its a must see!

I should be embarrassed that I liked a kid movie as much as I did, but the real question is: How did a kid movie get made this freaking well?! The creativity, the avant-garde shots, the acting... I want to see more movies like this.

By some miracle Paddington avoids almost all tedious tropes that one can expect of such an adaptation. King instead opts to stick to his vision for the film, in doing so he's made a truly original, entertaining picture. A surprise hit.

Loved it

The main character is terribly naïve but likeable, and his predicament is somewhat unbelievable but still relatably presented. However, I was repeatedly irritated by the characters bumbling being used as an important plot device, it's such a lazy crutch.

Cute movie. Lots of fun to watch with friends.

Just a wonderful overall movie. The story, the flow of the movie, the humour and charm makes it a classic!

This is such an unexpectedly well done movie! It could have easily been an uninspired piece of mindlessness. It's so smart, and so sweet. The performances from the human characters as well as the expression of the bears is heartwarming. Nicole Kidman gives a fun turn as a villain.

Film is pretty well acted, cg's adorable, message of loneliness has its place there. Though I looked forward of seeing Paddy causing more mayhem than badguy that's always added to these adaptions. They're getting as annoying as added Scrappy-Mary Sues -let's call them Baddie Sues. They lose at end but take tremendously time from original's charm. "Talking animal? To the taxidermy!" Like tired Mad Magazine jokes all over. Comedic and sliceoflife moments luckily work for kids. Sequel could be good

A solid movie for the whole family, with a love of cinema in full display.
