Featuring the voice of Ben Whishaw as the famous bear
alongside Hugh Grant, Brendan Gleeson, Sally Hawkins, Hugh Bonneville, Jim
Broadbent and Julie Walters, the much-loved sequel now boasts a 100% rating on
the review-aggregation website.
Orson Welles' 1941 classic Citizen Kane held that score up
until recently, but it's slipped down to 99% thanks to one unearthed negative
review and has been replaced at the top of the list by marmalade-loving
Peruvian Paddington.
"It's extremely lovely to be on any list, which
includes Citizen Kane, but it is obviously quite an eccentric list that goes
from Citizen Kane to Paddington 2, so I'll try not to take it too
seriously," director Paul King told The Hollywood Reporter.
"I won't let it go too much to my head and immediately
build my Xanadu. But I have been cooking up a model just in case."
Asked how Paddington Bear himself would react to this
revelation, King shared: "I imagine he'd just crack open the marmalade and
have a second sandwich – you'd like to think he wouldn't get too carried away.
"But maybe he would! I'm not sure he's known such an
honour in his young life."
Earlier this year, Phoenix Buchanan star Hugh Grant voiced
his admiration for the movie.
"Christ, it's a good film," he told Digital Spy.
"Just in terms of filmmaking, he's a genius, Paul King.
"It's so unnecessary to be that good. It's just a
sequel to a kids' semi-animated film. But it's a proper monument in cinema. I
genuinely believe that. It's brilliantly made."
