I...didn't like this movie.

I didn't like because, well...

...Mary Poppins doesn't really do anything to solve the situation.

She just sings songs and then the situtation pretty much resolves itself.

She doesn't counsel Michael and Jane to help deal with her loss, she doesn't try to earn enough money to save the house, she just sings songs.

In the original movie, she did more than sing songs. She got involved, she helped the Banks family in meaningful way.

Here...she was pretty much useless.

I kept thinking back to "Lilo and Stitch", and how Stitch made a sincere effort to help Lilo deal with their grief, or how Pleakley and Jumba interceded in Lilo's favor when it seemed Bubbles was gonna take away from Nani.

The aliens got involved, they helped the Pelekai family in meaningful ways.

Here...Mary Poppins just sings. That's her answer for everything. You are grieving for your dead mother? Sing. You are gonna lose the house? Sing.

I don't know, she came across as less helpful than in the first movie.
