Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Voodoo123 — 22 Sep 2019
I enjoyed watching this musical - you can tell it was made by fans of the original and great care is taken to tick certain boxes that a fan would expect to see.... sadly the result is somewhat dry in execution with little in the way of memorable songs (exception for me was everything goes turtle!), and the project overall felt more iteration than innovation telling a long drawn out predictable tale with an odd cast of individuals that never quite had a group chemistry I could gel with.
.. That said, if you're a hardcore fan of the original, there could be something here for you and it was made with the kind of calculated love we have grown to expect from the age of Disney's 'reboots & awkwardly late sequels'.
