Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

This film will be a classic one day! It was great! Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins was the only person I would have picked for the role. Its a great movie! I even got tear eyes .... Overall this is Disney as its best.... GO SEE IT! Its not going to be the original film, but this is something new and exciting. Don't go into this film this is going to be the same film.... treat this as a new experience. THE MUSIC and SCORE was FANTASTIC. The movie will put a smile on your face and make you feel like a kid again. That's what a movie should do.... GO UNDER THE LOVELY LONDON SKY .... imagine the impossible.

Fmovies: Mrs. Shullivan and I treated ourselves to a special early Christmas present by attending the opening night of Mary Poppins Returns. Our anticipation for this night was more than just rewarded, we received a very pleasant reminder that although we are more than half a century old we are all still children at heart if we just allow our imaginations to wander as when we were children.

Emily Blunt was perfectly cast as Mary Poppins as was Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack the Lantern lighter. The story line surrounds the now adult Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) who lost his wife just a few years ago and is trying to raise his three (3) young children in the original Banks family home at 17 Cherry Tree Lane. Michael's sister Jane (Emily Mortimer) is single, never married, and has her own apartment while she fights for the rights of the low income workers.

Michael Banks three children are Anabel,John and the youngest Georgie. The three Banks children love their father and sooner than they should have to worry about losing their home through a bank foreclosure , Mary Poppins magically appears. Mrs. Shullivan and I, as well as the rest of the theaters audience let out a noticeable sigh of relief because we realized that the magic of a Walt Disney movie is now upon us, and we were not disappointed in our faith in Mary Poppins. Quite the contrary, the evening was perfect as the films songs were beautiful, the dance numbers choreographed and animated to as many animals as were on Noah's Ark, the cinematography magical and the story of Michael and Jane Banks and the children that warms one's heart.

We especially loved the Banks childrens first afternoon bath with Mary Poppins and their most colorful and animated underworld adventure with song and dreams of a magical world. Just believe and anything is possible!

Loved it! A perfect 10 out of 10!

Long and boring! Fell asleep several times and I just wanted it to end. None of the songs made any sense and they are totally forgettable.

Mary Poppins Returns fmovies. The movie, dose not even get close to the original It cant be seen standalone as they clearly link to the original one, with music, words, acts, scenes, characters, hats and anything else

Somehow the movie even with the better effects looks worst, the effect don't look as interesting, or as imagery.

everything in the movie weaker, the kids are 3 but there only 1.3 kids there as two of them are the same and the last one has very little unique thing about him When the original show the chimney sweepers jumping all over the roofs of the city, in this movie they do bigger stance but all in 2 a small areas When they do the cartoon it feels like they could have done it live action with pretty much the same effect of a bad dream When they shot the the canon in the original the house shake, here its barely a shiver And most of all the magic of Mary Poppins is lost, she is not surprised, she only dose what she did before, when she comes back she dose now blow on the wind but lands on a kite, she is now not a mystery that everyone knows, but someone with an cousin in town, now she seem more aggravated and nose up then a smart wizard in the original The story has more twist and turns, yet the main story is smaller and not as interesting

when the original movie ends with a wispier that hits hard, this movie ends up on spark that dose not even start a small flame, with twist after twist that Mary Poppins honestly don't need

When the original is about music, and understanding and the bank's family, this one is all about Jack and the memory of a movie Disney don't seem they will be able to recreate

I do not recommend to watch this movie, except if you just want to see how Disney is doing there best to show how no magic left by them

Only good thing I can really say is when thy really get something from the original close to the end

Just to note this is even worst as I watched Saving Mr. Banks just before, and this shows that Disney even if in the original movie someone cared, that is not the case no more

One spoiler I think needs to be said there is no "I am Mary Poppins Ya all"

With the multiple references to the original Mary Poppins throughout this movie, and even in the title, my hope was this movie would be as light and airy as the original - a movie that had every kid in my neighborhood and school singing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Let's Go Fly a Kite and I Love to Laugh.

This is not that. Sadly, no one came out of the theater humming or singing any of the songs - not our grandchildren, no other kids, no adults...that tells the tale. In fact there are some suggestive lyrics in 'The Cover is Not the Book' that is over the heads of the kids, but it surprised and disappointed the adults in our group.

That said, the visuals are generally amazing, and there were several things to smile about, but it was a bit like washing your feet with your socks on...gets the job done, just something isn't quite right. One person near by was overheard to say as he left, 'That was excruciating to sit through', while a roughly 12 year old girl was overhead saying "I thought it was really good." Same with these reviews which range from 10 to my 3, so you'll experience the same range I would guess upon seeing the movie.

I can't begin to say how excited I was for this movie. I've been waiting over a year for it. We brought my daughter to see it with her friends for her 6th birthday. It was a complete disappointment. The start was slow, music was forgettable, the kids were scared during a few parts, and Emily Blunt was too cold for Mary Poppins. The movie was over two hours long. The kids were restless and never really got into it. One kid from our group wanted to go to the car instead of finishing the movie. I wanted to like this so bad. What a shame.
