While I'm not really a fan of the original "Mary Poppins" as I found Mary too acerbic and the whole tone too sour, but I had hoped that this remake would correct those deficiencies, unfortunately it did not. I think that "Mary Poppins" could be a great musical, but it just isn't in my opinion and it leaves me sorely disappointed every time I watch it. Though I did like Emily Blunt as Mary, unfortunately she didn't have more to do. But, Lin-Manuel Miranda was not able to fill Dick Van Dyke's shoes. Beyond those issues, my main gripe with this film is the poor cinematography which is prevalent in many Disney movies now. It was too dim and gray and the resolution seemed grainy and gave me eye-strain perhaps from 4K cameras which result in far inferior film. Please, go back to traditional looking film, this new style is garbage. 2/10 rating.
