Paddington 2 is a Fantastic Movie
Nicholas Cage has been one of my favorite actors since childhood. Whether it be his acclaimed works like Leaving Las Vegas or his box office success, such as Con Air, I've seen them all. Anytime a Nicholas Cage movie is announced, I get giddy like a child on Christmas. When his latest film was rumored to be starring Nicholas Cage as Nick Cage, I got more excited than I'd ever been for a Nicholas Cage film. And boy, was my excitement met.
This was such a blast to watch. Nicholas Cage always gives an over-the-top performance which is the best part of the movie. Except for this time, Cage has someone to rival his performance, Pedro Pascal. Pascal plays Javi Gutierrez, the world's biggest Nicholas Cage fan. The chemistry between the two is comedy gold. One of my favorite scenes is when the two go through the Nick Cage museum that Javi has built. As much as I love Javi, it was watching Nick's comeback that made me the happiest. Over the past five years, starting with Mandy, Nick has revived his career, which had been declining. Sadly this film underperformed at the box office, but I'm not sure how. Nick had just come off one of the best movies of his career (Pig), and this movie received tons of advertisements. The part of the movie I could see people disliking is just how meta it is. It is a movie about Nick Cage working for the FBI, so I wouldn't take it too seriously.
10/10. Massive Talent shows Nick Cage is still on top (Not that he ever went anywhere). - anshultech-728-466809 - 16 December 2022
One of the best movies of 2022!
This movie is quintessential for all Nicolas Cage fans. Nicolas Cage playing as, in his words, "Nick M*****F***ing Cage", is beyond real.
This movie tries to capture different Nicholas Cages through time. Fantastic acting and beautiful scenery make this a must-watch for anyone who has ever liked a Cage movie.
This movie is well-acted, cheesy, funny, but above all a masterpiece. In my opinion, watch this movie when you are completely relaxed and sip some bourbon while doing so and you shall also experience the massive talent of Nicolas Cage.
It's disheartening to know that this movie didn't do well commercially but I hope it becomes a cult classic down the line.
