What’s the best film of all time? That’s a question that could start a fiery debate in some circles, but for a little bit, the verifiable answer was, in fact, Paddington 2. Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane has long held the title on Rotten Tomatoes, but after a negative review resurfaced, it was brought down to a 99% score, meaning Paddington 2’s 100% score beat it.
This claim may have been short-lived, but the love of the Paddington movies has stood the test of time. Across three movies and now a West End musical, the live-action adventures of the Peruvian bear have taken him to prison, underwater, and even back to his homeland. But now, the film series is taking a big swing by recruiting another British legend — but one with a much less family-friendly portfolio.
