Now an adult with three children, bank teller Michael Banks learns that his house will be repossessed in five days unless he can pay back a loan. His only hope is to find a missing certificate that shows proof of valuable shares that his father left him years earlier. Just as all seems lost, Michael and his sister receive the surprise of a lifetime when Mary Poppins -- the beloved nanny from their childhood -- arrives to save the day and take the Banks family on a magical, fun-filled adventure.

Critics Consensus

Mary Poppins Returns relies on the magic of its classic forebear to cast a familiar -- but still solidly effective -- family-friendly spell.

As wonderful as the original, telling a new story with equally important lessons about family, love, and hope.

For first-time Mary Poppins viewers, especially young ones, the messages in Mary Poppins Returns about seeing the world through curious eyes will be refreshing and fun.

It may seem unfair to compare the two movies, yet this sequel, with its deliberate nods to the original, is made to encourage just that. I think it's what the filmmakers expect us to do.

A-

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

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)...

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.

This belated sequel manages the feat of surpassing the original classic, delivering a much more dynamic and engaging experience. Where the first film suffered from a slow pace due to its age, this version shines with vibrant musical numbers, energetic choreography, and a beautiful fusion of live-action and traditional animation. Although the narrative structure follows very familiar paths, the overflowing charisma of the protagonist and the technical modernization breathe new life into this universe, resulting in much more effective and enchanting entertainment.

Emily Blunt's accent is almost as bad as Van Dyke's was- she can't have studied for the part, and her nasal butchery of RP is grating. Bank's grown son (I forget the name, he was quite forgettable) is also badly cast- also over-acts "posh" and his accent is not quite so bad, but bad nevertheless. Not to be outdone by poor casting choices, the screenwriters also decided to harm the Mary Poppins name. In the original, Mary is magical but Burt is an ordinary man- so why Burt's replacement Jack appears in the children's nursery after lights out is a mystery, as is the children's unfazed reaction to his incongruous entry And Mary Poppins playing a bawdy rough? Absolutely unthinkable. Part of Mary's charm is she is always unflappable, proper and dignified, no matter what the circumstance. So let's have her ham it up like a cockney music hall girl! What fun /s Like so many sequels, can't decide if it's a homage or an original movie and ends up bening neither..avoid!

Another crappy remake. Everyone involved should be ashamed to have work on this steamer.

Whilst even though Mary Poppins Returns doesn't quite match up with the classic, it still maintains its fun and whimsical charm with some of its well written songs and acting performances from Emily Blunt.
