Blunt gives the character a little bit of a different spine, thus making the character her own.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 4, 2024

Mary Poppins Returns is no exception to the lack of creativity in current cinema , it is a late remake disguised as a sequel, which reiterates the sequential development of the first and successful installment Mary Poppins (1964)...

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 27, 2024

I was incredibly disappointed with Mary Poppins Returns. It could’ve been something really special, but instead it focused too much on playing to the nostalgia of the original film, while completely missing why that film was so special in the first place.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 22, 2023

Mary Poppins Returns is a sweet escapist holiday confection, although it starts out in an unexpectedly dark place.

Mary Poppins in all her supercalifragilisticexpialidocious glory...

| Dec 2, 2022

I feel the same way about both Mary Poppins and its sequel, in that both are frivolous, certainly silly, occasionally imbalanced, definitely overlong, and somewhat meaningless fun.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 4, 2022

A truly whimsical feeling of that classic Disney magic.

| Original Score: 3.5 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

Mary Poppins Returns is a film designed to make tons of money, but you won't regret paying to see it for one second. Your childhood memories will remain intact and be enhanced by this mesmerizing movie.

| Apr 9, 2021

Feels modern without sacrificing its nostalgic charm. There's no "Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious" but, like the first film, there is plenty of heart.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 3, 2021

This new Mary Poppins has a considerable struggle ringing true; the playfulness surrounding her actions, along with one after another misadventure, never feel quite right.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 7, 2020

Emily Blunt is practically perfect in every way as Mary capturing that sassy attitude we love about her.

| Nov 5, 2020

Manages to feel both contemporary and classic.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 16, 2020

The chemistry between Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda is impressive and contagious. Watching this film is like being reminded that life is beautiful with a touch of nostalgia. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 2, 2020

Julie Andrews' shadow looms large, but while they are big shoes to fill, Blunt somehow turns the inimitable into the imitable, crafting a stern yet mischievous heroine with a lovable vanity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2020

Even while the film feels far too slavish to the original for its own good, there is no stopping a smile from forming on your face during some of the magical sequences.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 28, 2020

Evoking the same spirit as the original, Mary Poppins Returns is a pitch-perfect and sentimental celebration of life. As the mythical nanny would say, it was "practically perfect in every way".

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 27, 2020

Director Rob Marshall lends this film a masterful continuity that the original Poppins lacked, but he never loses sight of the film's essential mission: To entertain all ages while splashing happily in the puddles of childhood fantasy

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 27, 2020

There's even a moment where a character sings, 'The past is the past / It lives on as history / That's an important thing.' If that's the case, why make this movie?

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 26, 2020

Despite how beautiful its visual treatment is and some correct performances, such as that of the irregular Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins and an ephemeral Meryl Streep, I'm not contagious by what I see. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 21, 2020

The film is a pleasant distraction with great music, exceptional performances, and an eye toward deepening a legacy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2020
