The new Mary Poppins is terrible

[Tinyandpetite]

I’m just watching the new Mary Poppins. I know, knowbody else can be Mary Poppins like Julie Andrews- she is a legend! I didn’t expect Emily blunt to be to her standards, this is absolutely terrible. Sadly, I do not rate Emily blunt In this at all. Has anybody else seen it??

I've seen it and thought it was great.

I really liked it.

I loved it!

Yes i hated it too. The stage Mary poppins on currently, however, is outstanding and worth every penny

I really liked it! Admittedly I went with low expectations but I was really pleasantly surprised how well it captured the essence / spirit of the original.

No, I'd heard it was terrible so gave it a miss. I saw the musical version at the theatre about a year or so ago and as I really enjoyed that, I didn't think this version would compare.

I was really disappointed and wish I hadn't watched it the same with Dumbo. I just don't think you can compare when films hold cherished childhood memories. X

I really liked her, except the accent. Way too over the top. Julie Andrews has a natural sounding posh accent. Emily Blunt’s made me cringe all the way through

We watched it in the cinema, I wasn't a massive fan but afterwards my husband said something like "well, it all makes sense now, she clearly had the children drugged" and now that's all I think when I try and watch it.

I didn't like it much first time I saw it- it was the somewhat affected accent that I wasn't keen on. It's grown on me with repeated viewings though...

I loved it! It really captures the spirit of the original - made for three generations I think!

I didn't enjoy it either. Too much of a rehash of the original.

I got it for my dd(sn) for Christmas, she and adult ds liked it. But I thought EB was terrible. No way eould i have her as a nanny

I thought it was sweet but maybe a little long. I saw it in a group of families and we all shed a tear or two so it can't be that bad. I thought Emily Blunt was great. Just the right balance of boundaried bossiness

Loved it, and I’m a massive fan of the original so wasn’t expecting to.

Sorry. I loved it.

I really liked it! I agree her accent sounded a little forced though.

It was wonderful.
My only grumble is the scene with the men dancing around the lampposts lasts too long.

I had watched it the cinema with some of my Brownies as we had a special screening earlier last year. Came home to my husband and told him "that was 2 hours of my life I will never get back". 😂

The original was my favourite film as a child (my sister claims she was traumatised by how often I put it in the TV!) but I didn't enjoy the new one at all. I'm pretending it never happened...

Agree. The accent was shite, but more worrying was the constant gaslighting of the children! She kept saying that things hadn’t happened when they had - fucking weird.

I hated it - I think MP was smug and unlikeable. Also, the cartoony scene with her dancing with her skirt up/short was totally unrealistic as MP would have a greater sense of propriety than to be kicking her legs up and showing her knees in public like a jade! 😂

I walked out and left my dd’s to watch it while I sat in the Costa.

* Agree. The accent was shite, but more worrying was the constant gaslighting of the children! She kept saying that things hadn’t happened when they had - fucking weird.*

That happens in the first one as well.

I loved it. Ben Whishaw most of all but I thought Emily Blunt was pretty good. Not a carbon copy of Julie Andrews but why should she be? I thought the story was beautifully done and the score is terrific.
