Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Cathy S — 25 Dec 2018
I liked it! Not saying love, but liked very much. Emily Blunt is stunning and sings wonderfully. Lin Manuel is, in my opinion, ok and someone NY thinks you should know and drool about, but as an actor is just ok. The children carry off their roles AND I enjoy any film that show cases UK talent. Oh, Meryl Streep has the best song and is very good as cousin Topsy. She's in it just long enough, but do we ever find out if she fixed that bowl??? I agreed with PL Travers, if it was true that she didn't care for the penguins in the original, but I didn't mind the animation as nostalgia now. Too many pixelated movies now, it's nice to see a " throw back.".
I liked the homage to the original and I got goose.
Bumps the minute we arrive at 17 Cherry Tree Lane, and I believe the original Jane passes through for a cameo as.
Does Dick VanDyke, which was brilliant!!
In closing, worth the matinee ticket price! Made me happy and the audience applause at the end is always a good sign!! See it?????
