Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Grace T — 31 Dec 2018
I've always been a fan of the original Mary Poppins because I had seen it so many times throughout my childhood. This sequel didn't give me the nostalgia that I was hoping for. The main problem for me, other than the uncreative song choices, was the plot.
It was too intense and over complicated for a once beloved children's movie. Mary Poppins would of never had put the children in danger with a villain in her worlds unlike this movie. Not only that but too many things happened at once to where you couldn't keep up.
In the original it was kept short and sweet, that's why it was a classic for so many years. Unsatisfied with this accept for the short appearance of Dick Van dyke.
