Mary Poppins Returns

It's out tomorrow! Is anyone else really excited about seeing this?

We saw it this morning. It was fantastic! I’m not sure why all the critics have been moaning about it. My 5 year old, me and DH and the grandparents all loved it.

I am going to tonight. Can't wait.

I wasn't that bothered but it looked really good when reviewed on this morning.

About half an hour too long and one segment was utterly redundant to the story line. Boring.

I thought the songs were underwhelming and Emily Blunt's weird accent was annoying. Disappointing.

Loved it! Colours, acting, lin-Manuel, story, songs, references to old movie. Only complaint was the scene at Big Ben - too long.

3 stars from me. Good special effects and entertaining.

DC and the GPs liked it.

Emily Blunt looked the part and had the right presence and manner, but sounded like Maggie Thatcher.

Lin Manuel Miranda was likeable but accent dreadful.

Dance and spectacle good, but music poor.

thought it was great from start to finish - loved it and came out singing the end song

fed up with the critics dissing every film this year

Emily Blunt amazing, premise good, nice to see the cameos etc....

But, listening to the original soundtrack now, nothing at all of the pathos that even as an adult make MP actually pretty heart-rendering viewing.

Kids will like it, though...

I liked it but I didn't think it was a patch on the original. There were some good sequences - the adventure in the bowl, and the leeries' (sp?) dance, but I don't think the music came up to scratch.

It was good. We enjoyed it, but it just didn't feel as magical as the first one.

I quite enjoyed it, it's very old school Disney.
I just realised that the lady who asks directions to number 19 is actually Karen Dotrice who played young Jane Banks in the original film 😀
Lots of nice little nods to the original but they missed a trick not having Dick Van Dyke saying"cor blimey, Mary Poppins" when they meet at the bank 😁

I've just come back. Emily Blunt was wonderful. Lin Manuel what his name has charisma but his accent wasn't very good- although when I saw him interviewed he was proud of it! My only gripe really is Julie Walters playing a family housekeeper again. She's only just been one in the Paddington films.

I thought it was awful and boring
I'm glad I didn't see it at the cinema now

@purpleme12 so am I.

i dont think it will overtake the original in popularity.
