Mary Poppins Returns - Delightful!
The new Mary Poppins Returns movie delivers
warmth, fun, and a jolly holiday with Mary!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Watching the new movie feels like a natural sequel
to the beloved 1964 Mary. The new one
contains many respectful
and creative nods and similarities to the original
while containing its own story and sound.
How wonderful to enjoy a musical with dazzling
colors, sounds, and costumes - and without any
socio-political agenda nor any suggestive
sexual or potty humor.
I tapped my feet, clapped my hands, and left
wanting to see it again. Watching several of the
scenes, like the over-the-top lamplighters number,
captured me so much like watching
a Broadway show. Those numbers delivered
more than my senses could take in and
left me wanting more!
I hope 2018's return of the big, positive, Broadway-style
movie-musical, with The Greatest Showman and
Mary Poppins Returns, will encourage movie-makers to
continue producing similar family-friendly projects.
And to top it off, viewers get to enjoy
Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury.
When I left the theater,
I told my wife, "It was delightful."
We give it an A+.
