Critics Sentiment
Mary Poppins sings a lullaby to comfort the grieving children
Jack and Mary perform the music hall number
The film drops from the magical underwater bath sequence to the controversial music hall number, which critics found inappropriate for Mary Poppins.
Critics found Mary Poppins Returns to be a respectful but overly faithful sequel that captured much of the original's charm while struggling with forgettable songs and predictable plotting. Emily Blunt's performance as Mary Poppins earned widespread praise, and several magical sequences succeeded brilliantly, though the film was criticized for being too much of a template copy. Overall, reviewers deemed it a pleasant family film that honored the original without quite achieving its transcendent magic.
