Skwchance (13 KP) rated Mary Poppins Returns (2018) in Movies

Would have been better without Mary
I generally enjoyed the film and found the songs very in keeping with the original but I had a real issue with Emily Blunt's portrayal of Mary. She was too stern and her accent was horrible. She just made me dislike Mary Poppins and that is downright wrong.
The other characters were good and the kids were great, little George in particular. Also I was delighted when Dick Van Dyke turned up.
Its a good fun movie but Emily should never have been Mary Poppins.

Like Every Other Horror
I was hoping for more but sadly found this to be like any other horror film made even worse by the terrible makeup job they gave La Llorona. I will thank them for the lacking jump scares that I often find cheapen so many horror films. However, this is simply because the plot is so simplified that I find myself almost wishing for more jump scares, hoping for a part of this film that could actually scare me.

It's laugh out loud funny
Relatable and hilarious
I was a teenager when this first came out and absolutely loved it, still do now. It's actually quite relatable, the problems the girls face are things im sure everyone has some kind of experience with.
The girls in this act really well and the way it's written is fab - it doesn't drag, theres no unnecessary veer offs.
All my girl friends love this, I'm sure you will too, give it a go!

Ready For Book Two
Can I start by asking, "When does the second book come out?! This retelling of King Midas surpassed all my wildest expectations and then some. This spin was written rather creatively and I found myself enjoying this adventure full of pirates, first loves and curses. I will tell you that I was shocked and caught off guard by some startling revelations and I eagerly await with anticipation for the next book. Kudos to this author's storytelling and spell weaving as I fell in love with the web she spun!

A great time killer
This is a simple game, but it gets very addictive, very quickly. I like all of the fun graphics the game uses, but I have found that the apparent really difficult levels, are not that challenging at all (although as the game goes along, I may regret saying this!).
It's a game game to pick up when you have some time to kill, but I can see that after a while, this game could become rather repetitive.

A fun time, once it gets going
A comedy/mystery in the vein of Clue or Murder By Death, this film takes a while to get going. The jokes at the beginning are few & weak, but as it goes on, they get more plentiful & funnier. I found myself laughing out loud more than a few times. Everyone in the film is great & those who hate Adam Sandler will find him tolerable. The story is well enough & there's a pretty damn good car chase too. It's worth a watch once, maybe twice.

Great artwork (2 more)
Twisted & dark, yet still comical storyline
Brilliantly controversial
Can be a little hard to follow at timei (1 more)
The dialogue (accents) may need to be re-read a couple of times to understand
I thought this was a much stronger story than Volume 2 and carried on with the main storyline of The Seven.
It was, as always, controversial, dark yet comical and I found I couldn't put it down. There were also some very interesting new characters introduced that I hope to learn more about in the next volume.

Couldn't put it down!!
This book had mixed reviews from the book club I'm a member of, I wasn't really expecting to enjoy it but thought I'd give it a go.
I was pleasantly surprised, I barely put it down and finished it in two days.
It follows the Character of Lale, how he tries to keep his family safe, how he survives the camps and how he is separated from the girl he loves. I found the characters likeable and it was an easy read.

How you can choose the scenario yourself by your TV remote (1 more)
It's weird that you arnt quite sure what's going on all the time
Quite odd, but entertaining
Contains spoilers, click to show
It's quite a strangely entertaining film, it took me over half the film to figure out I could make the choices for the main character so that was really interesting when you can choose differently. There is supposed to be a secret ending but I havnt found it yet

I don't get what all the fuss is about? I tried so hard to force myself to read this and I got about halfway and I found myself avoiding reading all together just because I couldn't face the boredom of it? I skipped to the end and read the last chapter and was so glad that I didn't torture myself any further by reading the whole thing.
I realise that I seem to be the minority of this opinion, maybe there is a secret chapter to the book that mine didn't contain??? Who knows.
