A very good movie

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2014)

Saving Mr Banks is a true story based on Mary Poppins creator PL Travers who visits Walt Disney who wants to make a movie out of it and she doesn't want it made into a movie.Now for those of you who never heard of Mary Poppins well its about a magical nanny named Mary Poppins(Julie Andrews) who minds Mr Banks children and meets Burt the chimney sweeper(aka Dick Van Dyke). So back to Saving Mr Banks. The movie is told in flashbacks as Helen(who is Pl Travers real name btw) is living in Australia with her alcoholic father(played by our very own Colin Farrell)and her mother along with her little sister. We then meet her as an adult(now played by the terrific Emma Thompson from Nanny McPhee)who goes to Los Angelus to meet Walt Disney(played by the brilliant Tom Hanks who surprisingly look like the real deal)as he wants her book of Mary Poppins to be made into a musical film. Of course she doesn't want it to be half animated or even a musical but with the team that is over Mary Poppins can they change her mind and make her love her book being turned into a film with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke?
SO what did I think of this movie well from the director of The Blind Side John Lee Hancock(which is one of my all time favourite movies of all time)I actually enjoyed this movie. Did I cry No call me heartless but I didn't cry at it. I knew that (Spoiler Alert btw) that PL Travers dad died from alcoholic poisoning and we see him die on the bed,and also she was sort of a bitch. I mean she was so cynical,so bitter you kinda wonder why was she acting like this and then we know why she was what she is. Overall the acting was great and I love Tom Hanks as Walt Disney he was fantastic as him,also you think he WAS Walt Disney.
My only problem with it was that I felt like watching two movies. One with Colin Farrell(as PL Travers dad) and PL Travers as a kid and she changed her name from Helen to PL. And the other was her as an adult and been shown around by a limo driver played by The Amazing Spiderman 2 star Paul Giammatti and her meeting Walt Disney at his studio.
For 2 hours this is a great film to watch as I bought it on DVD on Sunday for a bargain in HMV and I never seen it before so yes its definitely worthy if you love Tom Hanks in general or just a fan of Disney in general.
Overall I am giving this a B +
7/10
