Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Brian E — 22 Dec 2018
Perfectly done. It is a reboot (akin to Star Wars reboot) where the plot is in many ways nearly identical, yet a sequel at the same time, even with Dick Van Dyke reprisal. Quite clever in that regard, but i'll skip the spoiler details.
Blunt is perfect, especially given such a hard act to follow. The movie is 9 minutes shorter than the original. The overall character of the movie is very true to form. The only disappointment is that there is no memorable tune -- the likes of supercali and spoonful are replaced with formulaic (but decent) songs.
