This 50 year sequel just does not make it. The backbone of the original film were the songs that you could not help but hum to and could not get out of your head. There are no songs in this movie that are like that. The songs are weak and an embarrassment to songwriting. Also, this movie has a dark tone which I find very unusual for a Disney movie and a sequel to the original Mary Poppins. The actors are good in their roles and Emily Blunt makes a suitable replacement for Julie Andrews. In another observation, Disney is still bent on rewriting black history. I have noticed in a few films that I have seen by Disney lately that black people seem to have a more prominent role than history had given them at that time period. Shades of the novel 1984 or was it Brave New World where history is constantly being rewritten.

You did well writing your thoughts Ron. Often more complicated, yep.
I’d say some movies just don’t need to be re made as Ron points out. This is a conversation I have with my father often. Sequels at times for so so original movies don’t understand, most of the time it is just lazy and with all of the books written there has to be good ones to make into movies.
Saying this I understand it is all about the money.
