Paul King, the director of the previous two films, has decided not to direct this installment
Scenario
Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now lives at the Home for Retired Bears. The Brown family is on an exciting adventure as a mystery takes them on an unexpected journey. However, he came up with the idea for this third film and was on board as an executive producer.
I love Paddington 1 and 2
Follow Paddington (2014). I always knew that with a different director, a different setting and story and whatever, the third film in the series would be unique. There were three problems with this film for me.
The first is the weak script
I failed to connect with the film, and the poor script was the reason for this. The charm of the franchise, which was always noticeable and used in the first two, is irrelevant. And because of the healthy feeling that you don’t know, the lack of charm, it kills the film completely.
The second film was the best, from Hugh Grant’s excellent acting to the good foreshadowing and character development, this film is nowhere near that level
The third problem is the lack of character development, the way the characters were developed in the first and second films are brilliant, and excellent, and while it’s hard to do that with this film, it was still bad. .Sally Hawkins is not in this film, and she is a big loss, although Emily Mortimer does a good job in her role with what she has, she is missed, and she could have made this film better. There are some great moments in this film from the iconic stare to the plot twist, I would say it has its good moments, I will pick out the bad parts of this film, despite that it is decent.
There are some beautiful episodes that will take your breath away
If you follow the franchise and have seen the first two, this is different and unique, but good to watch. 7.9/10 for me.
