Paddington Two now worlds best film : Official

[A380]

So someone found a negative review of Citizen Kane from 1941 so it no longer has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. Paddington Two has only positive reviews so now scores more highly.

And, do you know what? I’d rather watch Paddington Two then Citizen Kane any day. (ETA which I think is so dull I misspelled it...)

Citizen Kane is dull as fuck.

Who listens to critics anyway? Citizen Kane fans will be pleased that it makes #96 in the IMDB Top 250 and that Paddington doesn't make an appearance.

I really enjoyed Paddington Two

 

[petee]

I've never heard of "Citizen Cane" nor of "Citizen Cain." Are they dull movies?

The people's walking stick.

Really fucking shit both of them. But not as boring as that one about a sledge.

Citizen Cain is ably directed but Citizen Cane just limps along really.

I have suggested Paddington 2 to the daughter several times when we've scrolled through potential films to watch but she won't have it. Maybe I can introduce this news into the mix next time.

It really is good. Even if my dad, an otherwise sane man, was convinced they used real bears...

P2 is a decent filum. I don’t think I’ve managed to sit through the third man or Kane as far as I can remember

 

[Jay Park]

Citizen Kane - lots of long organ chiming and intense (ott) stares

Paddington 2 - does jail time and brightens up a depressing Victorian gaol with his marmelade and passion for life.

 

[danny la rouge]

Oh, Paddington 2 is an actually great film. I’d happily watch it again tomorrow.

Citizen Kane? I’ve seen that enough thanks.

Don't really watch modern films: Paddington 2 is Paddington Bear the Sequel?

No Bernard Cribbins, alas.

 

[krtek a houby]

Paddington was shite, so no interest in seeing the sequel. Absolutely loved the books, though.

Citizen Kane is a technical and artistic marvel, and could watch it again, easily but it's kind of cold, at the same time. Prefer Welles in The Third Man or The Stranger. Even his cod-Irish accent in The Lady from Shanghai - can just about forgive

((((bear))))

In the spirit of the thread, I opened some homemade marmalade earlier. Mmmmmm.

 

[tonysingh]

Citizen Kane you say?

 

[Jay Park]

((((bear))))

Where?

I regard Citizen Kane as a legitimate masterpiece, as it drastically altered the face of cinema almost overnight, both in its narrative and cinematographic structures. As Welles himself put it, "I started out at the top and worked my way down". I'm biased; Welles is one of my minor personal heroes.

Paddington 2 is also a legitimate masterpiece, partly because of it's effortless charm, but mostly for me because it's was hilariously easy for my racist relatives to watch it and say it upholds the "quintessential British values" and swiftly paint themselves in to a corner about how that somehow definitely wasn't about those horrible little brown people... bears of the sort that Notting Hill was accommodating at the time the stories were written, but more about the very definitely true problem of how to integrate south american bears in to anglophile society. Notting Hill Carnival all being about celebrating british ursine culture an' all.
