Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Anthony W — 30 Dec 2018

I really think Emily Blunt did a fantastic job portraying Mary Poppins; I had no issue with her or the Mary Poppins character. I really disliked the overall story though. it was exactly the first movie, but different - instead of chimney sweeps, it was lamp lighters.

instead of uncle albert on the ceiling it was topsy turvy upside down. instead of jumping into the chalk art, they jumped into a vase. ... I don't see the point in making a sequel if it's just going to mimic the first one the entire time.

& when all the best parts are a continuous joke started in the first film, I don't think that says a whole lot for the sequel's own plot line much at all. also I disliked the actor they chose for Michael.

& even though EB sings wonderfully, the songs were not great. very forgettable. that is all.
