12 landmarks of London: basically Paddington Bear/other name [voice by Ben Whishaw:] he wants to get this pop-up book, which is priced at £1000 for a birthday present for someone very special to him, consequently he has to get a job. But sadly he is convicted of a crime he did not commit, but when he is inside he meets; Knuckles McGinty [Brendan Gleeson:] he is a reputation, it is vindicated he can be violent, he is also the prison's chef. Meanwhile this strange actor Phoenix Buchanan/other characters [Hugh Grant:] is trying to get his project off the ground and finally Henry Brown/other main [Hugh Bonneville:] he is still in the world of insurance as a risk analyst, but is going through a midlife crisis as he in short someone else got the promotion and work.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 104 minutes film is excellent, it does have that feeling we have a lot to get through so we don't have any time to waste on unnecessary stuff.

Art, comedy and action; the art is amazing eye-catching and smooth as we have Paddington and his Auntie Lucy [voiced by Imelda Staunton:] she adopted him and raised him alongside her husband Uncle Pastuzo [Michael Gambon:] they always wanted to make it to London; I should also point out that they are all so bears. But I digress; Paddington and his Auntie [imaginary] meet up in this pop-up book and they basically experience would London has to offer through these pages of this pop-up book. Whomever came up with this idea/concept has to be given the most highest of praise, I mean it must be one thing to have these imaginative ideas/concepts, but to actually make the entire sequence of events must be a completely different kettle of fish altogether. Yes we still have Mary Brown [Sally Hawkins:] she is still doing her illustrations, but Paddington is going to need her support more than ever this time around; mental drawing avenue and on top of that we still have; the little world in a bigger world concept; but in this sequel it is used when Paddington and his criminal friends escape from prison.

I am delighted to see that with this title; they changed the sketch scene/skit emphasis around from it being quite flat in comparison to this project where this time around Paddington is seemingly much more in control accidentally; meaning best intentions be it; giving someone a haircut or put this red item in with this load of whitewash, he does realise he has done it but in a nutshell he thinks what can go wrong or/and a little later on spitting on someone's hand, because he is not aware of this British custom; where many years ago on reaching a deal with someone; you used to spit on each other's hand and shake on it, but as I have just pointed out Paddington is not familiar with this custom.

The action is a lively affair likewise be it in the air in this hot air balloon or/and Paddington trying to get from danger between these two trains and this elegant ladder system that he gets from his suitcase; where Paddington has to keep turning this handle for this ladder to keep extending then has to stretch out because it has fully extended and likewise yet again this very beautiful underwater sequence with real danger involved.

Character developments, performances and voice performance; the returning characters/performers/voice performance; these are all fluently evolved as yes we have had time away from them, so of course they are going to evolve, the newcomers are a welcome addition to the cast of characters/performers; for an example Gleeson as Knuckles McGinty; he just put in a flawless performance as this prison hard man chef type of character.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it as I have spoke about has in one way or another built more around Paddington Bear/Paddington Brown instead of being built around the scene the other way around which in turn gives this sequel more of a lively outlay and there are some extra bits and pieces in one way or another in the first section of the ending credits. 15 Winners that includes London Critics Circle Film Awards 2018 ALFS Award Supporting Actor of the Year Hugh Grant and 2018 Winner ALFS Award British/Irish Actress of the Year Sally Hawkins Shared with: The Shape of Water · Maudie. 52 Nominees which such as; are from the same award ceremony/event British/Irish Film of the Year, Breakthrough British/Irish Filmmaker of the Year Simon Farnaby as Barry: in this sequel he is a security guard for St. Paul's Cathedral: yes he was in the previous instalment as the same character different and likewise in the future instalment of this franchise; with Paddington in Peru 2024 on some research: Geographers Guild and Technical Achievement of the Year Pablo Grillo (visual effects)
