“Mulan is a spirit lifter, and though it doesn’t arrive as planned, it could not arrive at a better time.”
IGN
“Disney’s live-action Mulan is a confident blend of old and new, hiding a familiar heart under action-packed armor.”
The Hollywood Reporter

“Despite all the splendor, there’s little sense of vision.”
Slant Magazine

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.
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT
THE FILM
Mulan is a 2020 American action drama film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. It is a
live-action adaptation of Disney's 1998 animated film of the same name, based on the
Chinese folklore "The Ballad of Mulan".
Plans for a live-action remake began in 2010 but the project stalled in development hell
before filming took place in New Zealand and China from August to November 2018.
Mulan's Hollywood premiere was held on March 9, 2020. Originally scheduled to be a
wide theatrical release, it was ultimately cancelled in the United States after being delayed
multiple times due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
It received less favorable reviews from Chinese audiences, who criticized the character
development and mishandling of cultural elements.
MY PERSONAL OPINION
ABPUT THE FILM
The film is about a young Chinese maiden who disguises herself as a male warrior in order to save
her father.
I personally didn’t enjoy the film as much as I thought I would. I totally expected something
different. This remake didn’t touch me at all. Some of the scenery are beautiful. Mountains and skyline
of the capital city are breathtaking. I think that Yifei Liu is absolutely the ideal cast for the character of
Mulan. It looks astonishing on that reflection of Mulan in the sword poster.
The movie was dull and some of the scenes just didn't make any sense.
If you want to make a good Chinese history based movie, the least thing you have to do is to do some
real study on it.
Mulan’s story, is an amazing one, which has been told to the Chinese children for over a
thousand years. Mulan’s figure reflects bravery, loyalty, intelligence, and love for the close ones.
The film does not highlight these things very well.
Finally, I can say that the remake of Mulan didn’t live up to my expectations and disappointed me.
