Experience Disney’s Modern Masterpiece “The Return of Mary Poppins” Now

Published

on

Mary Poppins Returns is a masterpiece that truly deserves to be savored on blu-ray. Unlike more recent attempts like Nutcracker and the Four Realms in Mary Poppins Disney absolutely nails what makes it’s movies so magical and sends the viewer on an incredible journey.

This is another example of technology working in favor of the story. The sets are so beautiful and intricate that every frame just pops in the blu-ray format. Few movies beg to be owned in hi-def anymore but Mary Poppins Returns qualifies.

The whole movie is a modern masterpiece and the little details really come out at home. Everything from the booming score to the beautiful animation becomes that much more alive. It’s like being a child again, which is pretty much the whole point of the movie.

You can just tell that Disney took the time with this film and it shows in every frame. The musical numbers are spot on and Emily Blunt knocks it out of the park as Mary Poppins. Her interpretation is a little bit different than Julie Andrews but that’s okay. Like Doctor Who it’s the same character, but not quite. She makes it truly her own and it’s a joy to watch.

The same can be said for the whole cast. The idea of a Mary Poppins sequel sounded like a horrible idea at first but a single viewing is all that’s needed to change that opinion. Recruiting Lin-Manuel as a companion for Mary Poppins was a stroke of genius too. A natural singer and actor he has the chops to pay homage to Dick Van Dyke yet create a brand new, unique character with ties to the world.

While there aren’t a ton of special features, which is surprising, what is there is fascinating to watch. There’s a whole featurette dedicated to Dick Van Dyke which is heart warming. Learning more about the musical numbers is a nice touch as well. One of the weirder special features is an unused song about an anthropomorphic zoo where humans are in cages, probably a good thing it wasn’t used.

Mary Poppins Returns is now available on blu-ray and digital formats everywhere.

Transformers Rise Of The Beast will definitely be a movie I’m going to watch repeatedly.

This was an epic movie overall. What else can I say without giving spoilers? Not a lot else, unfortunately, but I will try. So the start was interesting as it takes place in 1994, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts takes the audience on a globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduces a whole new faction of Transformers – the Maximals –  to join them as allies in the existing battle for Earth. There are quite a few hidden gems to look for. The humor in this one was excellent definitely the 90s were everywhere in this movie.


The action was awesome as a Transformers movie should be and it does have a decent storyline. The film also has Great references to the older Transformer properties as well. As a major fan of the beast war series, it was awesome to see that version of the universe brought to the big screen. However, there were some moments of eh, been done many times. But just a couple despite being another Transformers movie. but this one did give more life to the series for me to be intrigued to see where it goes. The movie is a good 2 hours long so it goes at a good pace.


But with that being the only bad thing, in my opinion, it is a great theater movie. I think it added some freshness to the franchise. That with a nice blend of the 90s nostalgia. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. This is Chris, an honest review writer until the next movie, see you next time.
