Mulan is a spirit lifter, and though it doesn’t arrive as planned, it could not arrive at a better time. Read full review

Beautiful. Even on the small screen. Yes, it’s a shame that American audiences won’t be able to see Niki Caro’s spectacular live-action epic “Mulan” in theaters, but the good news is this is such a great-looking film, with amazing set pieces and dazzling action and colors so vibrant they would dazzle a Crayola factory, it will still play well on your home monitor.

If you strip away the things that make this such an unusual release in such an unusual year, you’ll find a pretty good movie and one that approaches this story with heart and with fresh eyes. Read full review

Unlike other Disney remakes, the issue with Mulan isn’t that it hews to the formula too closely; it’s that when this movie veers away from that formula, it tries to be something approaching a Marvel movie, and that’s one crossover we still don’t need. Read full review

It’s an efficient retelling of a tale about a young Chinese woman discovering her power — affecting at times, occasionally quite lovely, but earnest, often clumsy and notably short on joy. Read full review

An entertaining if straightforwardly glossy action-adventure from the Disney workshop. Read full review

Sam C. Mac

Sep 3, 2020

Walt Disney’s Mulan remake perfunctorily recycles the worst aspects of the 1998 animated version and roundly fails to convincingly execute the few deviations that it does attempt. Read full review

Seriously thoroughly enjoyed this movie i was disappointed initially with the lack of musicality to it but sinking in as a movie as a whole the deeper meaning behind her story really sank for me

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kinda boring and poorly paced. Cutting 20 minutes would really help. Not a particularly fun movie. Pretty vistas. I disliked giving the hero Ki powers. The whole point of the story is a normal girl worked hard, was brave and clever, etc. Instead now she’s a superhero? Weird choice that undermines the character, plot and theme of the whole narrative. The original is far more enjoyable.… Expand

Come on, the people giving this film super excited reviews havent seen the 52% rating by audiences in Rotten Tomatoes.

What a lot of peopleCome on, the people giving this film super excited reviews havent seen the 52% rating by audiences in Rotten Tomatoes. I also look at people's reactions in comment sections, and me being obsessed with critic reviews on YouTube and whatnot, I've done the work for you. What a lot of people promoting the film are saying is they loved the look of the movie and that this was the best remake yet without much substance to go by to truly convince others on the fence about it. Over 80% of those comments from every source from RT to Chris Stuckmann to Grace Beyond the Trailer, to the actual critics themselves, think that this movie was a disastrous turn for what many hoped Disney would fix after the muck formed from Star Wars. First, let's base this on the animation for those on a nostalgia high: This film misses a plethora of opportunities that we are all used to seeing and hearing, and that is music and whimsical characters. There is literally NONE of that, none!My jaw dropped. I could not believe Disney would do away with all of this. One cute tea scene we all know was all we get for any level of enjoyment! The characters suffer with non personality disorder, you can forget the ancestors, Mushu, the cricket, Mulan's fighting instincts, Mulan's personality, Mulan's human characteristics like NOT having the ability to practically fly around and have superhero powers at age 6. For those comparing their thoughts to this film with Mulan's Chinese history, it still didnt live up to even those writings! The movie was slow, a little boring, she abandoned many soldiers to do the avalanche scene, some witch woman took up half of the story, none of Mulans struggles were evident here. Oh man, just wait till December. I'm done… Expand

If for some reason you decide to watch the new Mulan remake you are a bad person. This movie is an insult to everything Disney stands for. They’ve stripped every good thing from the original.

This movie is an insult to everything Disney stands for. They’ve stripped every good thing from the original. The original message was that any girl is can be as good as a man, they just have to work hard and use their intelligence.” The new message is “you can only be good if you are born with magic powers.” The acting in the remake is impressively bad. 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. Disney should be ashamed by this movie and by what their company has become. This movie is the worst disaster of 2020. DO NOT WATCH!… Expand

no puedo creer lo que han hecho con la película, la destrozaron hasta más no poder para agrandar un personaje completamente vació y sin crecimiento, momentos muy incómodos que me recordaron a batman forever de Joel Schumacher. el mensaje contradictorio acerca de la mujer. todo el esfuerzono puedo creer lo que han hecho con la película, la destrozaron hasta más no poder para agrandar un personaje completamente vació y sin crecimiento, momentos muy incómodos que me recordaron a batman forever de Joel Schumacher. el mensaje contradictorio acerca de la mujer. todo el esfuerzo que pone mulan en la película animada y aquí hasta sabe manejar un arco como si lo hubiera aprendido toda su vida. vaya mensaje das disney "si no naces con poderes místicos o con la habilidad de detectar el chi, no eres nadie". además de la asquerosa propaganda del régimen chino para embellecer su imagen internacional e ignorar el sufrimiento en los campos de concentración. me hace preguntar a disney: ¿que te costó? y ¿valió la pena? les respondo que no… Expand
