Classic Mary Poppins the best but you will enjoy!!

I purchased this movie for my kids to watch after having shown them the original. They thoroughly enjoyed it and it will make its way into the typical Disney movie rotation. The production value was great, as well as the casting. She did great in taking over where Julie Andrews left off. I'd say her interpretation of the character was much bolder, where Andrews' version was more sly/cheeky in how she influenced others or took command of a situation. Not a knock in the least, just a noticeable difference and I think more representative of the time period in which this movie is supposed to take place. The only "bad" thing I can say about it is that none of the songs were really that memorable. After watching the original, the songs sort of get stuck in your head, even the kids go around singing them for the next day or so. However, I honestly could not tell you how one song goes in this movie. However, that may just more subjective and the difference in having seen this as an adult vs seeing the original throughout childhood, and now adulthood with my own children. Still, a must watch for fans of the original.

Being a sequel of a beloved classic, Mary Poppins, is a hard act to follow. Even so, the film was enjoyable and worth a watch if only to see a 93 year old Dick VanDyke, dancing. Acting, especially Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins and Dick VanDyke as Mr. Dawes, Jr., was excellent. The Jack character played by Lin-Manuel Miranda did not work as well as the Burt character in the original Mary Poppins. The supporting cast was almost perfect. The musical numbers staging and dancing was also excellent. My only disappointment was, I didn't leave the theater with a catchy tune in my head.

Ok so full disclosure I haven’t watched the movie yet. So I can’t comment on the quality of the film. But the steelbook is very attractive. Whereas the Mary Poppins steelbook is vibrant red, this one is a lovely blue and that’s a nice contrast. The sketchy style of art looks really nice. I wish it was just Emily as Mary on the front but considering the standard versions of the movie are just Mary, I can see why they wanted to differentiate.

I liked this movie. Not nearly as much as the original, sad to say. I miss the Sherman brothers. They really worked their magic for the original. I loved when Mr. Van D appeared. Almost cried. (I had to change it to Mr. because apparently Best Buy thought I was using inappropriate language. Really? It's a name. A rather famous name.)(Apparently that wasn't good enough. Even the last name was considered inappropriate. Just changed it to D.)

Mary Poppins Returns - Amazing...Visually. The movie itself doesn't quite hold up vs. the original classic. But is that a bad thing? It's it's own stand-alone feature. Not a sequel, not a re-make. On that note, it's very enjoyable. So good in 4K at home - especially on a large HD screen. I wish Disney still supported 3D releases in the US like they do in the UK. But imports often play here without special equipment.

Mary Poppins Returns is great entertainment, typical classic Disney. Very enjoyable music, different than the original but a very similar type storyline. 4K UHD Disc is acceptable but definitely not a reference quality. Physical disc is HDR, however, the digital version is Dolby Vision, which I prefer, and don't understand why Disney does this on several of their discs, not putting the Dolby Vision on the hard copy.

The Movie was doomed to be compared to something that is for all intents and purposes perfect. And while the musical numbers may not reach the grand catchiness of the original it’s not for lack of trying. The story is a bit deeper and adult oriented and my only real complaint is the addition of a “villain” to the story. The final scenes with a great character returning is worth it for that alone.

I really did enjoy this movie, but the sequence of events and the songs seemed to try to copy the original too much, instead of a completely different story. For example, there were three songs about singing and dancing with animals in the park, with street workers, and being on the ceiling that just seemed copies of original songs. It was fun and well acted, but a little too close to the original.

The cast was stellar and did a great job but the music was not as catchy, the story was not as good, and the overall feel wasn’t quite what I was expecting. On the good side, the effects were amazing and the acting was on point. Really liked how they brought back some original cast members. Good movie for the kids, just not what I was hoping for to a follow up Mary Poppins.

Magical in its own way and led by Blunt who makes the role her own and Miranda is stellar as well. It plays homage to the original but smartly doesn't try to best it or replace it. It's its own movie. I was disappointed in the music and don't think we will be sing the songs fifty years later. But it is beautifully filmed and makes you feel good as you leave the theatre!

Overall I liked this sequel to the original Mary Poppins movie, which had to compete against high expectations. The story line was a little bit predictable at times and it took a some time to get use to the rougher side of Mary Poppins when she first met the children. An entertaining movie overall which got better with time.

I was skeptical about this, no Julie Andrews and almost 40 years later they are doing a sequel. Needless to say my fears are abated I loved this movie and it made me want to watch the original because it was so much fun. I gave it 4 stars because again no Julie Andrews.

A good looking movie with great integration with the animated scenes but really just the same story from the first movie. Would have liked to see disney mess with the plot more.....how? Well that is for the writers to tell me a story, not take and refresh something that is how old???? But a solid 3.7 stars from in the end.

Mary Poppins Returns is a charming sequel to the beloved classic. The 4K disc offers a mild but noticeable upgrade to the 1080p Blu-Ray (which also comes in this pack), and the HDR results in a much more robust color palette. Audio is upgraded to Dolby Atmos which is very good and offers plenty of surround effects.

A more updated version of the 1964 classic. An edgier grittier version of the original. More of an adult feel than the original which had an innocence. This version has amazing choreography and songs. Emily Blunt is great as Mary Poppins and Lin-Manuel Miranda is amazing. Bought both the remake and the 1964 original.

Mary Poppins Returns is an okay reimagining of a sequel to The classic. The songs aren't as memorable, but for a new generation who hasn't seen the original, it's pretty good. Emily Blunt is great as the title character. But for anyone expecting a movie as strong as the original, try to temper your expectations

It has taken a few views to get to the point of really appreciating this movie, but I have learned to appreciate it on its own rather than comparing to the original. There is one section that is a bit more risqué than necessary.

I recommend purchasing this when it is on sale. $35 is a bit steep for what you're getting but it is a beautiful, wholesome film that all families should add to their Blu-Ray library. The 4k transfer is stunning, and I love the artwork of the steelbook.

As a huge fan of the original Poppins and Disney in general, of course we had to add this one to our collection as well. My family loved it a lot. Its not better than the original that's for sure, but this update brings back those great memories again. Looks fantastic on 4k though! I will say that!
