This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remember that story where someone through effort, cunning and commitment became better than their male counterparts. None of that is in this movie. She’s just born with mystic powers. The Mongolian invasion no longer exists. They’re just 7 dudes riding horses on a personal vendetta against the whole Chinese Empire. Mushu is gone, the 3 funny soldiers? gone. The Emperor goes from not accepting Mulan to naming her general in a span of 30 seconds!! It gets better in the final act, but does not live to what is already been build. A big pile of CHI!… Expand

It's too slow paced, the characters are unengaging, some questionable directing choices were made, and there are some editing hiccups here and there if you care to notice them. I fell asleep in the middle of the movie, and that is a very bad sign considering I've stayed wide awake for 3-hour epics like Lord of the Rings and The Avengers. It's a shame the movie isn't a musical like the animated version, because it would've filled in the gaps much better in a movie that otherwise feels way too long. There's a few interesting scenes here and there, but it's not enough to hold the movie up from its flaws. As for the ridiculous $30 on top of a subscription, that alone would warrant this movie to be a 3 or below. But I want to be fair and judge the movie for what it is and not the bad corporate decisions behind it. Unfortunately it's still an unremarkable movie.… Expand

On the other hand, if Disney princess style is your preference then 1998 cartoon movie is the way to go. I believe if Mulan were real, this Mulan portrait by Yifei is much more real. Obviously, real Mulan wouldn’t have Mushu with her. Mulan is a story about a girl disguised as a man trying to survive in military and defending her country. The core theme inevitably containing details of fighting, so the movie is PG13 whereas the cartoon is not. To people who “boycott Mulan” for actress YiFei’s take on Hong Kong protest, y’all need to do your research on history of China and Hong Kong first.

The cinematography is beautiful, no doubt.
The soundtrack is good as well, albeit without thinking about the musical aspect of the 1998 animation.

The bad:
By trying to please everyone, the director has efficiently managed to create a movie which feels distinctly flat, without any heart or emotional connection to the characters on screen.
The screenwriters misspelled "Mongolians" as well (they didn't, but it's just so damn stupid).

There is no real feeling of impending doom like in the 1998 animation, and the dark scenes to establish the ruthlessness of the Khan, are gone.

With the inclusion of "Chi" they have also effectively removed the fundamental message of the whole tale. Mulan is just the best at everything because reasons, it's weird.

The character display some nonsensical reasoning as well, which I won't spoil, but holy damn, there are some encounters which are just straight up badly written.

In summation:
The movie is questionably written, without any real heart, and feels like the 1998 animation, if the animation had had a lobotomy.… Expand

If you want to support HK, go to social media not a movie rating website I think most Disney movie are falling into a serious problem about "creating strong female characters".(star wars, frozen, captain marvel, etc)
I'd loved to see female characters pop up on the big screen, however not Disney's formula. All four movie (mulan, star wars, frozen, captain marvel) has its main character "gifted" with power, however, there is always a evil male character telling them they needs to be "that good girl" in their thoughts. Then at certain point, the fema character realized she needs no one and unleashed the inner power. The problem here is, there is no reason for them to change, and since they are "gifted", they can suddenly become super powered like turning on a switch, which makes the story mary sue.

How our kids can relate on such story, when the movie is trying to tell them you can only be a hero when you are gifted.

The original mulan is a very good movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es increíble pensar que esta película respeta mas la historia clásica de Mulan, que la película de 1998. Pero aun así creo que esta readaptación es una historia aburrida llena de momentos de “cringe”. Me parece hasta gracioso que con la nueva filosofía de Disney (buscar promover minorías e impulsar a las mujeres) hicieran a Mulan como un tipo de personaje todo poderoso, sin fallas a la que se le enseño a ocultar sus virtudes. Claro, hay un mensaje detrás de todo eso, pero no creo que sea el mensaje mas adecuado en este tipo de circunstancias.
Creo yo que la película animada tiene un mejor mensaje, Mulan es solo una niña ordinaria a la que se le da la “maravillosa” tarea de solo ser una esposa (como en la película del 2020). La diferencia es que en la película animada Mulan era eso, una chica ordinaria que con trabajo duro, apoyo entre ella y sus compañeros supera esa barrera de género y se vuelve una mujer respetada a lo largo y ancho de China. Pero en esta adaptación es una mujer con super poderes que los oculta por ser mujer, no tiene que trabajar duro para ser la mejor, ya lo es….nuevamente por ser mujer. A sus compañeros que son una parte importantísima de la primer película se les trata como personajes e relleno en esta película y se les hace a un lado, incluso su interés amoroso se ve un poco forzado y nada natural y orgánico.
Leía una entrevista con la directora donde argumentaba que el haber quitado a Mushu fue por dos razones. Una fue que querían que las relaciones entre los soldados fuera mas natural y orgánica con Mulan (es raro, porque ni siquiera te importan esos personajes, son planos y fuera de una plática mientras comen no aportan nada a la historia ni al desarrollo de personaje con Mulan) y dos… al mercado chino no le gusto Mushu y como el mercado Chino es el mayor mercado hoy en día, hay que hacer lo que el cliente mande.
Critico a Shan yu (villano de la película de 1998) por falto de personalidad y lo reemplazo por dos villanos faltos de personalidad. Donde la “bruja” no tiene realmente otra razón de ser mas que ser como una versión oscura de Mulan pero sin un motivo trascendente mas que el de soy asi porque…. Soy mujer y me menosprecian. El khan (realmente no recuerdo su nombre) es horrible, no tiene nada que haga me importe su historia (si es que tiene) y su razón para ir a atacar es… porque mato a mi papá.
Visualmente hablando es bonita, tiene grandes paisajes y las vestimentas, armaduras están increíbles. La historia, aunque se respeta mas la fuente, es aburrida, lenta y con secuencias de acción aburridas.
Si quieren ver una mejor representación de Mulan y de mujeres poderosas dentro del cine de artes marciales “hollywoodense” vean Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon y verán a una mujer asiática empoderada sin tener la palabra feminismo escrita como hoy en día.… Expand

This movie just wasn't necessary. It happened but it didn't need to. Everything was kind of blah and it didn't really have any heart to it.
The only good thing was the cinematography, which looked really nice. It was fine enough to sit through once or half-watch but I wouldn't want to do that again.
I appreciated that it was set in China with all Chinese actors it it was also annoying that they spoke English. Like… you almost had it.
Also, that makes it clear that it was just an attempt to make more money. The story of Mulan is always great so the remake wasn't really necessary since it's the same plot. All the signs point towards cash grab.

Saw 2020's 'Mulan' as a massive Disney fan. Although their recent live action offerings are very mixed and none are as good as the originals, many of their animated films are fine examples of how to do animation right. Looking at the title,Saw 2020's 'Mulan' as a massive Disney fan. Although their recent live action offerings are very mixed and none are as good as the originals, many of their animated films are fine examples of how to do animation right. Looking at the title, the advertising and that seeing it was made by Disney, it is very easy to think that this is another one of the live action remakes and it is easy why it has been critiqued as one. Part of me was really psyched being somebody who loves the 1998 film, but also worried when seeing the hate for the film and for the lead actress.

When seeing 'Mulan', it didn't actually strike me as a live action remake and doesn't have an awful lot of Disney in sight. Other than the title and references to the score of the 1998 film embedded in this one. Instead to me it came over as more another version of the character and her story, and one more serious and less family friendly, so directly comparing the two films didn't strike me as right. While the disappointment that is expressed is understandable, as there are big flaws to be found and it definitely does not have the same amount of charm, heart and thrills as the 1998 film, to me 'Mulan' was not that bad and was not deserving of the extreme backlash before it was even released. Seeing as Yifei Liu's personal views had/have nothing to do with Disney or the film crew.

'Mulan' is not perfect. Do agree with those that say that a lot of the dialogue is pretty bad, with a tendency to sound stilted, especially in the cringe-worthy and very out of place attempts at sporadic humour with the troops, and go too heavy on emphasising the characters' values. Loyal, brave and true agreed did not need to be emphasised so much, the point was made quite quickly. There are things in the plot that sounded oddly intriguing on paper, but done too little with. Especially with the phoenix, which doesn't really add anything.

Both Xianniang and Bori Khan felt like underdeveloped characters. The former comes off better as she is suitably mysterious and alluring, but her motives are pretty confused later on (with it being not clear what side she was on), she is pretty much a come and go plot device and her final scene felt very rushed. Bori Khan has an intimidating look but is underused and his motivation is pretty much the only thing that is learnt about him. Didn't like how easily defeated he was and how clumsy the scene looked. In general the characters could have done with more depth, Mulan and Zhou are the ones that come closest, and the film could have done with more soul.

However, 'Mulan' does look great, especially striking in the truly exquisite historical visuals and the at its best majestic scenery. There is a lot of colour and atmosphere in the photography, which was clearly inspired by the likes of Zhang Yimou, and the costumes do catch the eye. The CGI didn't seem too excessive and didn't look jarringly cheap either. Harry Gregson-Williams' score is stirring and also has a sumptuous emotional core, also enjoyed hearing references to the music from the 1998 film. Niki Caro on the most part directs with confidence.

Personally really was impressed by the beautifully choreographed and dynamically photographed action. When it needed to be tense it was, when it needed to be particularly athletic it was and when it needed to excite it did. Especially the big battle and the avalanche. It was easy to feel the strength, pain and perseverance needed to get through all that training, only the final showdown came over as ridiculous. The story was not perfect but it engaged enough, intrigued with the cultural aspects and inspired thanks to Mulan still being a strong character (though she doesn't grow as much or go on a character journey as much as the animated Mulan, if to briefly compare). Although the father-daughter reunion was more emotionally powerful previously, it is still quite moving in a subtle way here.

Moreover, the acting wasn't bad at all to me. Liu is a confident lead, bringing authority and vulnerability to Mulan that was ideal for this ideal heroine. Donnie Yen and Jet Li are strong authority figures and Jason Scott Lee does inject some menace into his underdeveloped role. Tzi Ma's performance is very telling in its nuance, more than once not even saying a word. Li Gong looks wonderful in the film and is both deceptively alluring and mysterious, despite the character herself is not meaty Gong's acting is quite complex.

In conclusion, prepared myself to hate it but quite liked it while finding it very flawed. 6/10… Expand

With extreme ease I can say that Mulan is to this day the most ambitious film of all the films that Disney has remade in live action.

The scale, staging, colors, details and setting easily put it on a higher level.
The trailers already showed some of it but seeing it in the finished film lets you appreciate the attention to detail in a better way.

Speaking about the film, I can say that I really enjoyed the first part, with the elements it took from the animated film and because it keeps a nice pace that feels pleasant and fun.

However, once the middle of the film is over and on its way to the third act, the film loses its compass, and when I say that, it's not that it becomes a bad film but that it becomes somewhat cartoonish.
Perhaps the weight of staying true to the ease with which things get fixed up in an animated film.

The way she accepts her destiny, the way she accepts that she's a woman in the Imperial army, that feels a bit forced because of the way the film pushes that plot development so quickly.
The final course, the final battle, that personality twist of one of the villains, it feels forced.
I didn't like that it doesn't feel organic, that frustrated me a lot.

Without a doubt, it's a fantasy story and also this never stops being a Disney film but that's a problem by itself because in the conflict Disney bets on the easy show, the Marvel kinda show, so it lost points in my eyes for it.

Liu Yifei does a good job, although I feel like they didn't give her much to work with. I feel like the script didn't give her much to explore with the character and it's a shame.
The film is totally hers, there's no doubt about that because of the rest of the cast frankly all are merely supportive, none leaves an impression with the exception of Donnie Yen and that's me being benevolent. I mean she's not a great actress, but anyway I feel the film didn't allow her to explore the character in the best way, although I blame this more on the script than on her because it's clear that she did take the role seriously and worked with what it was provided. I do think it was a sad thing to see the film ending up on Disney +, both for what it means for movie theaters and for the fact that it diminishes the film in a huge way.
Don't forget, this is a 200 million dollars blockbuster, and I honestly, would've loved to see it on theaters but today, beyond the cost of renting it, ending up in the service that way, makes it feel disposable.

About the changes between the animated film and this one, to tell you the truth, some of the complaints seems ridiculous to me, mainly because people has to understand something: This is supposed to be different, if you really want to see the exact the same thing, then go watch the animated one. Of the rest I can only reaffirm that I think that of all the live action films that Disney has released of its animated classics, this is the one that I've enjoyed the most.
Because the truth is that until now, none of them has made me say: '' Oh wow, it was wonderful. '' And this one didn't do it either, but I think it's the one that completed the circle in a more satisfactory way despite its defects, and maybe when the time comes, I will add it to my collection.

And if you're **** about the price. Well, sucks to be poor.… Expand

But everythingAs it's own thing, this movie is a mixed bag, as a recreation of the novel, I still feel this movie is a mixed bag. The Art Direction and soundtrack is incredible, and I think, visually, this film stands on it's own merits. But everything else is trite at best and annoyingly cliche at worst. The symbolism in some scenes is so one the nose at times, I rolled my eyes whenever that happens. Mulan's conflict isn't protecting her family by taking her father's place in the army, now it's "I need to accept myself as I am, and not hide behind the Identity of a man to be viewed as strong." I found it jarring to constantly see how she has constant power over others, and not having any weakness other than her own lack of confidence being the only obstacle in her way in the film. I will say now, It's really NOT a terrible movie, but the lack of conflict and reliance on western belief systems feel less like Mulan from the book or the Movie.… Expand
