What can I say about Mary Poppins Returns? It was the most visually stunning musical movie I've seen this year. In this hilarious and heartwarming sequel, we find Mary Poppins returning to London to help the now grown-up Michael and his family save their home from foreclosure. Emily Blunt gave an Oscar-worthy performance as the title character. A role once played by the legendary Julie Andrews. In my opinion, Julie Andrews made a better Mary Poppins than Emily Blunt because Blunt's character in the film was unconventional and less funny. A great blend of live-action and animation. The art direction and costumes were wonderfully colorful. This one reminds me of the original because of the music and the characters. This sequel was more like a remake or reboot of the 1964 original. The visual effects were dazzling and eye-popping. The cameos by Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury were very surprising. This is a great Oscar contender. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. In closing, I can tell you that Mary Poppins Returns is worth watching and highly recommend. The perfect holiday movie for the whole family.
