Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Jluis_001 — 07 Jan 2019

This is a film that can feel incredibly cheesy for the times in which we live, both real and cinematographic but I think that also gives it a fairly big merit considering that it managed to print that old Disney magic in a story that they did not seek to update but simply resume and it works. Not like the original without a doubt, but it definitely works.

Emily Blunt's work is amazing. She's really the best of this film. The rest of the cast pales before her work even though they don't do things badly.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's inclusion doesn't work really well and his English accent is pretty bad. I don't deny that he tries but this was not the kind of film that required his talent.

I should also mention that none of the songs are memorable so that's also a negative aspect. Good songs, functional songs but hardly remarkable.

Is it worth it? Of course. Believe me, this film will hardly become a classic but at this time and with its quality it's an indisputable option.
