Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Maria D — 21 Dec 2018

Practically perfect in every way. a really enjoyable sequel that touches on all of the originals' tones. I truly believe that the only person that could play Mary Poppins after Julie Andrews is Emily Blunt and she didn't disappoint in this movie.

Further proving her talents from being able to play any genre of movie, she knocks it out of the park as Mary. Maybe this movie is hitting me at the right time in my life, but the mix of the fun escapism of the places the kids go and real life struggles that Mr.

Banks is going through are fully realized and hit home. I grew up on the classic Mary Poppins and Rob Marshall made me feel that magic again. I really enjoyed this, you won't get anything you didn't see before but, it's well acted all around from Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Emily Mortimer (who really fits the grown up Jane), Ben Whishaw, the kids in the movie, and some special cameos, it's a fun time at the cinema this Christmas and worth going to see.
