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

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

Хороший, добрый, семейный фильм, смотрится на легке. Да конечно отличается от мультика, но тоже интересная история. Рекомендую к просмотру!

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.
Also, the special effects were really bad and just didn't seem to fit.… Expand

Shameful garbage, they thought this was ready for release? Amateur effort CG too.

Typical "woke" bull. No one says women can't beat up men, but when you purposely force all the men out of a movie to make it 100% women who 100% can do anything their hearts believe, its pandering crap. The only good is the effects, which lets be real. Special effect have been good for 15 years so.
