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.

Chesapeake Family Magazine

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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.

Rated: 3/5

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

Puesta en Escena (AR)

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)...

Rated: 6/10

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

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.

Rated: 4/10

Great visuals but honestly Emily wasnt the best casting in my opinion surly there was a much more suited pick! her accent is about 100 years older than the rest of the cast she dosnt have the magical likability as the wonderful Julie Andrew’s. It’s so pretty but just really lacks the warmth
