Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Stephanie H — 27 Dec 2018
How did red-headed Michael grow up to have dark brown hair? And the kite was patched wrong. I thought it was super weird when Mary switches from her proper British accent to a cockney accent for one (weird and painfully incoherent) song and dance scene.
It was fun to see the Easter eggs and Dick Van Dyke is charming of course but overall I felt the movie fell flat. I see a lot of people praising Emily Blunt as Mary but for nevshe just didn't do it.
Maybe I shouldn't have watched the original the night before seeing this but I couldn't help thinking how she just doesn't measure up to Julie Andrews.
