Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Bikerjames — 29 Jul 2019
So is Mary Poppins Returns practically perfect in every way? Hardly. I'm a fan of Emily Blunt and she is solid in the role, although smiles a little less than Julie Andrews. The movie follows the exact same formula as the original making it predictable.
In the first movie the kids didn't like taking their medicine so Mary came up with a way to make it enjoyable (a spoonful of sugar), in this movie it's bath time. The singing and dancing are fine throughout, but for me the weak point of the movie is the songs.
I can't remember a single song after watching this movie. The songs are too wordy, not catchy. It's not a bad movie but once again it feels that Disney is simply remaking older movies because they have run out of original ideas.
