We finally got to go see Mary Poppins Returns last night. I have been on the fence about going because the original Mary Poppins meant so much to me with great memories from my childhood.
I had heard a few comments like "It was very predictable" and "mirror of the first film" and also, "it was wonderful go see it!" I thought what the heck, lets go. For Christmas, we received gift cards for AMC from my Son Tim and his family, so we didn't even have to pay!
I am so very happy we went, and went last night on New Years Eve. It was a wonderful way to end 2018! The film was wonderfully done, very uplifting, maybe a little predictable, but not a mirror of the first film at all.
The acting was terrific, special effects great, and the music! Oh, the music was the best part. I could not imagine that it could have been better than the wonderful songs by the Sherman Brothers in Mary Poppins, but I would certainly rank it right up there with them. I saw that Richard Sherman did consulting for the music of the new film, and I think I could hear some of his influence in many of the songs.
If you have not done so yet, do yourself a favor in the new year and go and see this this film. You will not regret it!
