Finally got to watch on Disney + and I would have to admit I'm disappointed by the movie there are some good action scenes but there was something missing from the movie needed more comedy element as I've never watched the original but I knew about mushu the dragon voiced by Eddie Murphy. Here basically he's been written out of the movie big mistake. I think I will try watching the original and probably like it more

Just finished watching on Disney plus not my usual cup of tea but I kinda liked it kat dennings plays a woman who's basically dumped by her boyfriend and tries to recontect with her friends plus she keeps this cat lady that she can see. OK it can get weird sometimes but I found it to be funny especially kat dennings who was the funny one In 2 broke girls shame there's there's only been series so far

I hadn't seen this movie in over ten years so I'm counting this as the first time I've seen it. Wow, what a movie. Disney needs to make more movies like this. I loved so much about this movie. One of my favorite things is just how each minor character has something that makes them unique, and it's so easy to see how special and different they all are. That's not something you get in a lot of movies nowadays.

"...and why should they listen to you?" / "Because, unlike certain other Robins, I can speak with an English accent!"
Mel Brooks 1993 spoof, that takes aim primarily at the Kevin Costner 1991 'Prince of Thieves' version, with bits of the classic 1938 film thrown in as well as the Disney animated version.

Not as funny as I remember it being, unfortunately, with some questionable acting and the 4th wall breaking bits not really adding anything to the mix.

YMMV, of course!

A sequel no one asked for, but Disney was going to give it to us whether we wanted it or not...
Unnecessary is the main word I would use to describe this film. Mary Poppins (1964) is actually practically perfect in every way, like the lady herself; and anything to follow was going to pale in comparison. Maybe I would have been more tolerant if Christopher Robin hadn't had an extremely similar plot, but I was honestly just counting down the minutes until it was over.
The music was ok, I guess, sufficient. I just can't believe Emily Blunt in period pieces, she has a face that knows about text messaging (I am a huge Blunt fan, btw). I'm glad Disney decided to keep the whole, American doing the crappiest Cockney accent thing going. I get why they chose Lin-Manuel Miranda, he's very entertaining, and I know he did that Hamilton thing (zero interest in that). The only parts I loved him in was when he was just dancing, no singing with the bad accent. The lamplighter song was by far the best out of the lot.

In the end, I've seen this same movie several times. I'm really doubting whether I want to see Aladdin, and I'll never give Disney my money again for a remake/sequel to a classic film (aside from possibly Aladdin).

Honestly, I don't know who would actually love this film. Who was it even made for? I think the reason they want everyone to see it the first weekend is so it doesn't get around how just ok the film was.

One thing I forgot to mention in my review was Meryl Streep. What was even the point of that scene and her character, it added nothing to the movie

Yeah, Streep's character had zero purpose and slowed the already snail's pace plot down. The whole movie was just odd, like a blatant cash grab like..cough, cough, Crimes of Grindelwald.
