Film Review - Paddington 2 ★★★★★ Paws for thought: it's amazing!

I've been posting more about the sequel to Paddington more so than I usually would, but that's because I've been genuinely so looking forward to it.

I've waited a long time for a sequel to Kingsman, which blew me away 3 years ago after it emerged with relatively little buzz and was a surprise hit for...
