This is not a bad movie if it were just another release like how Netflix does it. At $30, please DO NOT BUY IT!

The character build up is missing either because the main actress cannot act or China has forced Disney to cut out absolutely anything that remotely shows a Chinese person to appear weak. It's ok for the protagonist to show fear. Mulan's father says "there is no courage without fear" so where is her fear? Look at this movie's poster because that's her face even when death is in front of her. Even if Mulan was the only movie out this year, she still won't be nominated for best actress.

I continuously see obvious bots or some "I stand by Asians" nonsense posting how great this movie is. Look, this movie is no 10 out of 10 ok. You're saying this is the absolute best movie you have ever seen? It's certainly not a 1, but IT"S DEFINITELY NOT a 10. The 1 is justified because Disney set the price at $30. Say a In-N-Out Burger is good, but at $30, I'd give it a 1/10. That argument about how if you watch it with 3+ people, it's actually cheaper than the theaters. #1, don't lie, you're watching it by yourself #2. it's covid time, not many of us are having gatherings. #3, it's not the theaters.

Please support great movies. Don't give your hard earned money to Disney just because they are using someone with a certain skin color.… Expand

If I had to choose between a quarter and this movie for free, I would choose the quarter because at least I’m getting something that has value. Not to mention how this movie thanked the CCP for administering concentration camps and the actor for Mulan being a complete Chinese shill. If that wasn’t enough, they botted this whole review section to make the movie look better. The bots will say something like “This movie is an instant classic! My family got this and we all loved it! The actor for Mulan set a good example for my daughters because she’s a strong independent woman!” And on top of all that, this movie costs $30 to watch ON TOP of the $7 per month on Disney Plus. This movie seriously sucks. DO NOT BUY!… Expand

Mulan 2020 is a terrible role model for girls. She is born with super-powers and doesn't need the resilience and determination of Mulan 1998. The earlier version was also a lot more entertaining.

The removal of the key aspects that made the original great made this movie so much worse. Mulans cricket (lucky) and dragon (mushu) are no where to be found. She was given a sister in place of her pet dog (brother). Many of the events that happen don't make any sense, they were trying to force certain events into the movie that were in the original and couldn't figure out how to do it. She exposes her womanhood at the behest of a witch... I mean really. There was no witchcraft in the original, or in Chinese histories rendition of mulan… Expand

I've seen 6th-grade musicals with better performances. The new Mulan remake is a hollow, boring, lifeless, mess. It’s filled with plot holes and has zero character development or even any insight into any characters at all. The editing is awful, the action is boring, the script is comically bad. Watching the movie filled me with rage. This movie only exists to make money, there is no heart or soul in any of the directing, performances, and writing. Paying money to watch this movie is an ethically bad thing to do as you will be justifying more insulting and lifeless remakes in the future.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Waste of money. There are so many other Asian Mulan remakes that put this movie to shame. Disney just needs to stop recreating live action remakes that completely ruin the point of the original. Cartoon Mulan was a badass. Live action Mulan was a “chosen one” with magical powers that completely discredits the gender equality point of the original. If I wanted to watch a mediocre movie about a character with no special talents or abilities who thrives off of the hard work of others and the magical powers of being the main character, I would just rewatch Harry Potter. While I understand the plot had to be changed to a certain degree for the audience’s interest, since no one wants to watch a literal live recreation of the animated movie (although let’s be honest, none of the live action remakes were wanted in the first place and the more they continue the more it feels like the Disney corporation is just using us all like a cash cow and I swear to god this needs to stop) one way it was changed was by changing the genre of the movie. Which isn’t a bad thing. But this means that there is absolutely no comic relief, mushu (without a doubt the best character) is erased from the scrip along with the cricket, the three dudes at the war camp she becomes best friends with are misogynistic **** and have no redeemable qualities and cute scenes that they do recreate just end up flopping. This tied with the moral of the story now being exclusively that family is important and if you are a girl you can only participate in the war defending your nation if you are magically chosen with chi or qi or whatever and for no other reason than that, this movie becomes absolutely pointless. I among many wanted this movie to be success due to the representation that it would provide for many, but this bastardization just feels like Disney trying to get more and more money from its audience along with into the good grace of China.… Expand

Uma das personagens interessantes é a bruxa, que apenas serve como uma alavanca a protagonista e nem tem um background próprio revelado - poderia ser muito rico para a trama.

O filme é demasiadamente longo. Temos a sensação que nada está acontecendo, o clima entre os personagens não são dos melhores, principalmente entre a Mulan e o Rapaz interessado. As discussões acerca da cultura Chinesa não passam do obvio, a ponto de animações terem discussões infinitamente mais profundas.

A fotografia é muito bonita, porém não me surpreendi com o HDR. Nota-se que as cores ficam mais bonitas, claro. Mas não me recordo de ver um frame expositivo, com cores abundantes e contraste absoluto. Não se deve exigir isso de um filme, sendo que é uma decisão artística. Mas para um filme tão colorido, sinto como um desperdício. A profundidade de campo é bela, assim como alguns planos em slowmotion.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Niki Caro simply destroyed the issues of the original Mulan movie. Attempting to rewrite the story was praiseworthy but man, there are some subjects and scenes you just can't miss. According to the huge feminism movement our societies are dealing with, the Mulan movie should have been the perfect place to transmit deep messages and to develop strong points of view. Instead of this we face a Mulan endowed with supernatural powers (the still unexplained Chi thing), hesitating to reveal them or not. The movie kind of try to address the problem of omnipresence of honour in men living in Medieval China but until the end the father of Mulan (who represents it) stands his ground and eventually never questions things the way they deeply are. Instead of this we receive a cold and superficial message about the importance of familiy. Nothing in the status of any woman in the movie changed from the beginning to the end. When all this thing ends you feel like you wasted your time for some childish random movie without any second lecture as an adult. The heroin is impossible to understand, the action scenes are jerky and unepic, there is an unexplained presece of some meaningless phenix, characters are just caricatures of themselves, and above everything feminity is a totally muted subject. A good point is that the landscapes are wonderful. Still a mess.… Expand

The problems are this is so much worse than the original animated version, I wish it didnt share a name: No Dragon mushu, no cricket, no songs, no montages of cutting hair or training. It’s also so boring I’m writing this review while watching (started in the 3rd act After i was getting way too bored). I saw some “critic” reviews being high in the 80s and even 60s (-still way too high). I guess they want some of that Disney money. The main reason I hate this movie is they might blame direct to TV releases as not as successful on the venue, but if it does terribly its because of my 2 other main gripes - its extremely boring, and the writing contrivances are awful. At least they have the Cristina Agulara song at the end.… Expand

I never saw the original Mulan. My only familiarity with it is the music and a general knowledge of the premise. Without any nostalgic reference point I must say this movie was pretty bad.

The central problem with this film is the leadI never saw the original Mulan. My only familiarity with it is the music and a general knowledge of the premise. Without any nostalgic reference point I must say this movie was pretty bad.

The central problem with this film is the lead actress. She is stiff and BORING. Zero charisma. Come to think of it, none of the actors really had anything to draw you to them. Mulan's father drew me in since he is faced with a genuinely tragic situation. The main villain drew me in because of his physicality and intimidating presence. All the other characters just felt like throwaways.

The lead character has motivations, but it feels forced. Because of her lack of emotional energy you just feel like she's going through the motions to move the plot forward. Why should I emotionally invest in a character who seems disinterested in the world beyond some vague sense of "proving herself"?

Another problem with this film is that it is completely joyless. Wasn't there a dragon in the original to add a touch of personality to film? There are attempts at humor, but not much. I'm guessing the director wanted to stay away from that to keep a more serious tone. This was a mistake, in my opinion.

There's also some logical absurdities in the plot and how a lot of the action is resolved. This rarely bothers me in movies (I come to expect that in an action film), but it bothered a few friends I watched it with. Why is Mulan such a great fighter? She clearly never really trained, but the movie implies she has some kind of magical energy (chi)? Alright, that's pretty dumb.

Overall this movie was a mediocre time killer at best. I got a few laughs from cracking jokes at the film with friends, but even that was tough.… Expand

The girl starts off perfect there is No flaw to overcome I feel like she was the same person she was from the beginning of the movie. some of the characters could have honestly been taken out of the movie and it would have not changed a thing. Also other characters I felt didn't know what they stood for. for example mulan's father encouraged her to train and be like the boys except for when she wanted to go to war. finally the whole movie was just hard to get into. which is a shame because this was one of my favorite movies growing up.It was visually pleasing that's the only reason I'm giving it a one but they could've have done so much better with this.… Expand

Instead: 'be born special, or be useless'. As a women in China I'd find this film rather discouraging than encouraging.

Introduction of Chi was probably the most stupid idea I encountered in movies ever. It's insane how absolutely no one in Disney thought 'Do we really want to make Mulan a second Superman'? That's NOT what old Mulan was about. If I wanted to get something like this I'd go and watch superheroes movies (new Mulan is considerably one, sadly).

About Mushu. I was told that new Mulan will focus more on realism. Instead it got even less realistic. Chi, Witches, wall-running enemies,VERY unrealistic fights. The last fight was so unrealistic and in fact terrible that I regret watching Mulan even more. It's the 'I'm the good guy so I beat the bad guy without any effort' kind of fight. It also amazes me how many critics seem to completely ignore what new Mulan did wrong. Plot (it's flattened old Mulan's plot, without any depth in it, also often unrealistic with tons of plot armour), acting (main character doesn't know what emotions are, or atleast it feels so),character development (or lack of it), visuals (often felt very unrealistic. For a 200 million $ budget it shouldn't be a thing). The only part I found decent/good was music. Maybe it was actually really good, but the rest of the film could have overshadowed it with its awfulness for me.

I'm usually rating films higher than most people do, but in this case I feel like Disney just spit in my face. They didn't even try to make this movie reasonable, it's a clear money grab. 'People see Mulan, they'll buy it'~~ probably someone in Disney.

I'm sad that I have to say that, but I'd rather watch 'The Great Wall' again over Mulan. New Mulan is probably the most forgettable film I;ve ever watched. I'd really like it to be a good movie, but it's just not.

2/10 because it actually had some decent parts. Still wouldn't recommend this to anyone though, especially for old Mulan fans.… Expand

Indeed, on the one hand, it was necessary to show a strong and independent heroine on movie screens, so that the Western and especially active spectator-fighter for social justice was satisfied, and on the other, to try to keep at least something from the original source in order to please the Chinese audience, which is far from the mainstream movements of the west. Because of this, the story of Mulan looks unfinished, and the actions and actions of the characters do not always have a logical background. Accordingly, the creators had to do the IMPOSSIBLE. Unfortunately, the creators of this film did not succeed, the movie became primitive, with a huge number of cliches. Do not pay attention to the opinion of "critics" several things are important to them: - LGBT - transgender people - strong and independent woman - anti-family propaganda

And the action scenes are boring and everything just feels so forced and inorganic. Like the scene with the spider and the pots, it felt so forced and fake. And literally no one can tell that she's a girl? She looked alot like a girl for most of the movie when pretending to be a man to join the army in stead of her father. Just such a bad bad movie.

CON: poor Chinese cultural understanding, action sequences draw from wuxia but fail to do it well, editing is choppy and fails to build any tension or emotional impact, dialogue feels translated directly from Chinese and is both simple and lacks complexity. This film feels ultimately like a potshot by Hollywood productions at a Chinese movie. They tried really hard to make this appealing to a Chinese movie goer and honestly, missed this mark completely. Disney seems to have missed the development of Chinese cinema in the last 20 years. Taste in 'costume dramas' has developed a lot and there are much higher standards in both the production and acting. Chinese cinema now has done every part of Mulan 2020 did, but far better. Removing the distinctly American parts of the original exposes the flaws of this movie and magnifies it to who are more familiar with the material. Despite the complaints about the cartoon Mulan, the cartoon Mulan is somehow far more genuine in it's representation by being true to the American Chinese experience. The irony is the remake poisons it's own Qi by not being true to itself in either the cultural origins or the Disney predecessor.… Expand

Totally disappointed by the movie. It lacks the depth and emotional variety of the original, and comes up as dry and flat. Not anything special in the background music except a copy of the original songs. No emotional changes, no transitionTotally disappointed by the movie. It lacks the depth and emotional variety of the original, and comes up as dry and flat. Not anything special in the background music except a copy of the original songs. No emotional changes, no transition from village life to home atmosphere, no intensity. I can only excuse these decisions given that in the asian culture it is not polite to express intense emotions. However they could've found a balance. Mulan's personality has dramatically changed between the two movies, from cheerful, kind, courageous, determined and honest to silent, non expressive, a bit proud and too weak. In the original, she fought hard to get strong both physically and mentally. She never hid her character. In this version, she is struggling until she discovers her "chi" which magically boosts everything from her fighting skills to the team's full acceptance with almost no effort at all. It's cringe, cause you can't see a smooth/ logical transition in the soldiers' feelings towards her, they just go from "you brought shame upon your family" straight to "You are a warrior, you will lead us". There is no inner struggling, no overcoming of their prejudices, no final giving in to their gut and faith in her. It doesn't make sense that a cartoon covers all these aspects of human nature and the actual film just overrides them all. The actress is ok, although I don't see the impulsion, innocence, humility and kindness found in the original. They seem forced and don't flow naturally out of her. There is more than one scene that I've caught her being a bit too proud and snob about her acomplishments. There are many other things I would like to refer to, but these are the most obvious to me. Generally I expected a lot more. re.… Expand
