I had been anticipating on seeing this film for awhile and I was sadly let down by this movie. The film goes around the stages of how the 1964 film, "Mary Poppins" was created and the story and the way it is presented does not draw you in. The movie is constantly reflecting on the main characters, PL Travers (Emma Thompson) life as childhood and how she used her childhood to create the novel, "Mary Poppins." Then, when they show the modern time of the early 1960's of the film of the production, they fail to show many things that have to be done to create an actual film. It felt as if you were watching a movie with songs that were being potentially used for the movie that had poor vocalists. Also, Tom Hanks' acting playing Walt Disney didn't appear real as it appeared that he was himself just disguised as a younger version of Walt Disney. Also, I didn't like how Walt Disney was supposed to be appear much older at this time of his life and he appeared as if he were 20 years younger. However, Emma Thompson's performance was outstanding and her acting does steal the show. Her performance will most definitely be nominated for some awards with the season upon us.
Rating - 2.5/5
