๐ŸŽฌ Movie Review: Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโ˜† (4/5)
๐Ÿ“– Plot:
Set decades after the original story, this sequel sees Mary Poppins ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ return to help the Banks family once again. With her signature umbrella โ˜‚๏ธ and a sprinkle of magic โœจ, Mary helps bring joy and wonder back to their lives.
๐ŸŽญ Performance:
Emily Blunt ๐ŸŒŸ is practically perfect in every way as Mary Poppins, balancing charm, wit, and warmth effortlessly. Lin-Manuel Miranda ๐ŸŽค as Jack the lamplighter brings an infectious energy, especially during his musical numbers.
๐ŸŽจ Visuals:
The blend of live-action and animation is enchanting ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ, paying homage to the original while adding a modern touch. From whimsical chalk drawings ๐Ÿ–๏ธ to underwater adventures ๐Ÿ , every scene is a visual delight.
๐ŸŽต Soundtrack:

The songs are magical ๐ŸŽถ, with highlights like “Can You Imagine That?” and “Trip a Little Light Fantastic” โœจ. While they may not reach the iconic status of the original songs, theyโ€™re delightful and heartwarming.

Emily Blunt is Mary Poppins, Joel Dawson is Georgie, Pixie Davies is Annabel and Nathanael Saleh is John in Disneyโ€™s MARY POPPINS RETURNS, a sequel to the 1964 MARY POPPINS, which takes audiences on an entirely new adventure with the practically perfect nanny and the Banks family.
๐Ÿ‘ What I Loved:
Emily Bluntโ€™s captivating performance ๐Ÿ’ƒ.
The nostalgic nods to the original movie ๐ŸŽž๏ธ.
Stunning visual sequences full of imagination ๐ŸŒˆ.
๐Ÿ‘Ž What Could Be Better:
Some songs, while charming, donโ€™t have the same memorable punch as the original ๐ŸŽต.
The pacing feels slightly uneven at times โณ.
๐ŸŒŸ Verdict:
Mary Poppins Returns is a delightful and heartwarming sequel that brings magic back into our lives. Emily Blunt shines in the title role, making this film a must-watch for fans of the original and new audiences alike! โ˜‚๏ธโœจ
