It is an uncomplicated, very tense, efficiently told, pro-soldier/anti-war movie.

It is relatively light on blood and not scary at all. It is funny, though, and generally pleasant to watch.

It is entertaining, but reined in where chaos could have made it soar.

This is very skillful genre filmmaking, with an understated, no-nonsense, flair. It’s a pleasure to watch.

The jokes are mostly lame, the story absurdly predictable and the characters totally generic.

It isn’t a disaster by any means, but it is a tremendously disappointing mess.

I bounced back-and-forth between feeling something and being bored.

While the story itself is incredible, as presented here, it just isn’t very interesting.

The movie loses interest whenever the monkey is out of the picture. That’s kind of an issue, yet it isn’t a big one.

Paddington in Peru has its pleasures, however, it also backgrounds some of the better aspects of the series.
