Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/animal cruelty

Peru here we come: basically the Brown family with Paddington Bear/other names [voiced by Ben Whishaw:] he has been long-term settled with and is a member of the Brown family, but has come to Peru to visit his Aunt Lucy [voiced by Imelda Staunton:] she has unfortunately got lost in the Amazon rainforest in the Peruvian mountains; so the Browns are on the trail to find her.

Generally speaking: the framework, pacing, comedy, action and art of this 106 minutes film is in hindsight really quite annoying, in actual fact the more time I spend thinking about it, the more I can't believe they actually did it again. They took the old outlay from Paddington 2014 where it was very much geared towards being sketched scene/skit comedy where it was locational comedy where in the previous instalment with Paddington 2 2017; the focus began with Paddington instead of the location; so in a broad example if you went to go and do something like shade someone's head he had the best sentence to not screw it up, but something went wrong. But I come to this instalment of 2024; I have to be completely honest I was nodding off now and again throughout the vast majority of this instalment. You see I was patient and understanding with the 2014 version because it was the original of this trilogy so far and it was in was an outlay for this franchise to be built on. But as we are in the third instalment I am not so lenient with things going backwards.

But much later on we comedy, action and art which is more like Paddington 2 2017 as Paddington is without giving too much away running away from these bolder something like Dr. Indian Jones from Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981; basically when you get this point in the film the sequel actually wakes up and begins to look and feel like a third instalment of a trilogy and likewise it really does look and feel like a lot of fun and the art throughout this film is to be fair and balanced a consistent positive as we still have this looking inside the dollhouse approach of the Brown family home and unit and the moving paint Art.

Character developments, performances and voice performances; now as it relates to the character developments and the performances these are individually problematic as without giving too much away but obviously they need to make this point in the first two instalments Paddington had an evildoer, but here they came up with something different; which doesn't work because we don't have meanwhile something else is going on which will contribute to the framework and pacing feeling slow and empty and on top of that we have a integral recasting issue Sally Hawkins as Mary Brown was replaced by Emily Mortimer; in a nutshell  Hawkins chose to step down as Mary Brown and boy howdy she was missed greatly, as I have already alluded to she as Mary Brown she was an integral member of this family and cast; I mean I know they had to, but reshooting some scenes from Paddington 2014 these were just tacky. I wish they just gave her as in Mary Brown the character massive diarrhoea so that she could stay at home but she gives the rest of the family are a blessing to go on this holiday of sorts; so she could write a letter and post it underneath the bathroom door, through her sounds of vomiting so they could write out the rest of the film. So being polite or as best they can this recasting didn't work for me in the slightest, but once again to be fair and balanced I would say Mortimer did okay as in she really tried to fit in, but she hasn't got the chemistry of the two previous instalment behind her. But for the rest of the character developments and performances I would say they were predictable versions of what they were meant to be and the voice performances were all good.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; I was going to give this film something a little bit higher than this; but when you start to think and talk about with the person I watch some of this content with which this individual went to see this film with me in fact they have now done the trilogy with me as well, but I digress; this film and that higher mark just got slightly difficult to justify with everything I have discussed in this content, one last thing I should tell you that is not this film is; that in one way or another it has up to three extra credits.
