Plot: In 1935, during the Great Depression era in the United Kingdom, the enigmatic Mary Poppins returns to visit the now grown-up Jane and Michael Banks, along with Michael's children - Annabel, Georgie and John - after they suffer a family tragedy that left them numb and joyless. With her magical skills and the help of her friend, Jack, Mary is set on helping the family rediscover the joy and wonder of life.
My Movie Review: The movie is magical brings you back to the things you never experience but has fragments of your childhood with big production number your senses will be delighted:) Mary Poppins Returns is this year opening musical we look forward to see like in recent years Annie, Les Misérables, Joyful Noise, Into The Woods, LaLa Land and The Greatest Showman! Georgie Banks maybe the cutest kid I've seen in the big screen his expression was adorable and funny at times perfectly cast really capture my palate hit in the heart strings when he sing:) Lin-Manuel Miranda is another standout his star in the Broadway might be at it's peak but this is the first time I really appreciate his talent and gift- very impressive in choreograph ensemble! The animation looks tacky in the trailer that's why there's hesitation to watch or not to watch this flick yet I'm glad I see it! turned out the animation is well put together as the whole feature:)
Critics Consensus: Mary Poppins Returns relies on the magic of its classic forebear to cast a familiar but still solidly effective family-friendly spell. It's well crafted, well acted, and features some terrific live-action/animation combos. But it never quite achieves lift off, which is a big problem for a musical especially this musical... Still, I suppose momentary joy is better than no joy at all. I loved it-and while that doesn't mean I can ignore its problems, I left it feeling that a little something had been restored to me rather than taken away. It may seem unfair to compare the two movies, yet this sequel, with its deliberate nods to the original, is made to encourage just that. I think it's what the filmmakers expect us to do. Emily Blunt that half-smile, that mischievous look, that voice that at a key moment becomes hoarse, that musical number of vaudeville in which it participate, warn us that this Mary Poppins is far from being the perfect and virginal lady of 1964. It's 50 percent sequel, 50 percent reboot and 100 percent charming:)
