This film never ends, and you wonder what happened to the writers
The performances are usually a little awkward or barely refined, and there are very few laughs. A real shame, Paddington 2 in particular was a gem, led primarily by Hugh Grant, who is brilliant, but ably supported by the prison crew.
Paddington 3, by comparison, is a huge success
it needed a much better script, more fleshed out characters and funnier action scenes. An hour after watching it, you’ll probably barely remember it at all…
