Empire
Paddington 2 is every bit as enchanting as the first, perhaps even more so, but it feels arbitrary to pick a winner. The film is a pure delight, as sweet and sharp as, well, marmalade, really. - 100
Screen Daily
An exemplary sequel, the film retains the innocence and beguiling lack of cynicism of the first film, but moves on to explore other motifs - 100
Time Out London
It’s a family adventure that’s the right sort of heartwarming, delivering real human emotion through the medium of a small bear. - 90
The Hollywood Reporter
Every bit as perfectly tuned, cruelty-free funny and kind-hearted as its predecessor, maybe even more so. - 90
TheWrap
Paddington 2 is a sure-footed, sweet-natured family comedy which isn’t set at Christmas, but which glows with so much warmth and fun that it might well be a staple of festive television for years to come. - 90
Variety
Paddington 2 is another near-pawfect family entertainment, honoring the cozy, can-do spirit of Bond’s stories while bringing them smoothly into a bustling, diverse 21st-century London — with space for some light anti-Brexit subtext to boot. - 80
Total Film
A feel good sequel only marmalade haters could resist. - 80
CineVue
The first Paddington was a joyful and somewhat unexpected treat, and the sequel is no different.
