Emily Blunt starring big budget Western, where most of the cost is on the screen and in the filmography.

There's no doubt that it is beautiful looking, with some stunning shots, but I also found it to drag on quite a bit and never really got my attention at all.

Not at all what I thought...actually better.
This movie was so well acted. Kudos to John Krasinski & Emily Blunt for the amount of work they must have put in.
Because the majority of the movie takes place in relative silence, the jump scares are that much more startling. 100% better than I thought it would be!

It's arguable that Disney take a big risk in making a sequel to one of their most beloved movies (and the one that Walt Disney himself saw as their pinnacle), decades after the original, and with a different actor (Emily Blunt) taking on the role most associated with Julie Andrews.

And, while it's enjoyable enough, this doesn't really hold a candle to that original, despite Emily Blunt giving it her all (and, from what I remember, portraying a somewhat 'softer' Mary Poppins).

The structure is pretty similar to the first film, complete with a last-minute rush to the bank, with the film again focusing on the Banks family: the 2 children from the original now grown up, with worries and a family of their own providing the McGuffin that gets Mary Poppins to return.

Enjoyable popcorn flick

This movie had everything that made pirates of the Caribbean 1 a good movie. The acting was pretty good. The chemistry between The rock and Emily blunt was so good and believable. The combination of comedy and the action and the reveal of the immortals is what I think will cement this as a classic over time.

Of course, I read the book first, so I was aware of how everything ended up shaking out at the end. Emily Blunt did a fantastic job with the character, and I felt like she was a good fit. I was glad some things were changed from the book, because I felt like some of it was completely unnecessary. It was a solid thriller.
