Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Hassan I — 02 Jan 2019
Emily Blunt delivers a sensational performance in "Mary Poppins Returns", a marvelous musical that demands to be seen. Rob Marshall's latest film is a nostalgic, old-fashioned musical that pays homage to the 1964 original.
Packed with plenty of colorful characters, unforgettable musical numbers and terrific performances from a talented cast, it is one of those musicals that works on nearly every level. The entire cast is at the top of its game, but the film belongs to Emily Blunt.
Charming, charismatic and utterly unforgettable, she manages to do justice to the iconic role. Although undeniably well-made, "Mary Poppins Returns" suffers from a lengthy running time. At over two hours, it is slightly long and drags towards the end.
Nevertheless, fans of musicals will definitely enjoy it and so will movie-goers seeking fun entertainment this holiday season. They don't make musicals like this anymore, but on those rare occasions that they do its a cause for celebration.
