Mulan

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It could have told its classic story with greater depth, but the live-action Mulan is a visual marvel that serves as a stirring update to its animated predecessor.

At its core, Caro's "Mulan" is quietly revolutionary, as it revels in the exhilarating sight of a young woman fighting for and earning her place in the world. Go to Full Review

I can only describe Mulan as a visually spectacular disappointment. Void of any emotional resonance, the film eschews coherent storytelling for what amounts to an Orientalist war epic masquerading as a feminist win for Asians everywhere. Go to Full Review

Its cast, its attitude, its overall eagerness to please -- all benefits, one would think -- don't add up to a good movie. They add up to a blueprint of the movie this ought to be. Go to Full Review

I didn't have a terrible time with ['Mulan'] and it's the best live-action [Disney] movie since 'Jungle Book.' Go to Full Review

It also does not help that Li is a legendary, iconic actor, and Yifei Liu, who plays Mulan, is not the best actor. She is not bad, but she is a wee bit wooden. Go to Full Review

MULAN is a film best described as an "if only" production. If only the script had the input from actual Chinese people. If only it didn’t treat the culture, history, and mythology like a cheap prop. Go to Full Review

Nate R @greatnate88 4d after seeing this movie, i can only give it 1 star, after the first time i saw it i had to go back and watch it again, then after about half way through the movie i remembered why i could not remember it the first time there is nothing of this movie to remember--- this movie is very forgettable! the whole movie its self was very slow and boring, however this movie could of been so much better then it was, but being of these modern times im really not surprised, this movie is lacking the one thing most all moves are lacking today, that movie companies do not know how to put into their movies, its called ''Heart and love'' that very special thing that makes a movie relatable and enjoyable to the viewing audience! the characters here very flat and lifeless, the action scenes were awful, and the special effects stunk like rotten eggs, i give this movie a pass, if you have not yet seen it take my advice you are not missing anything stick with the original animated version! See more andrew H @andrew512 Aug 3 Mulan is quite literally the most feminist character in Disney history why did you have to remove all the other good qualities of her as well such as i don't know humor, intelligence, courage, etc. just to make room so you could make her more feminist at a certain point you no longer care about anything else including story plot, to mention plot why does Mulan remove the original quality of the Disney classic, and if you aren't following the classic you are most certainly not following 'the ballad of Mulan' an ancient Chinese ballad which has been changed so much to make it American that there is nothing left of its original meaning. See more Jack L @Jack-o-lantern Jul 29 Just another forgettable rip-off from a beloved movie. It's abominable to what remakes are doing these days. See more Patrick K @padragon Jul 24 Disney said "hey let's destroy all our beloved work BUUT pay tribute with Christina Aguilera singing Reflection". Having covid is no excuse! See more Issac L @RT12132890 Jul 24 Utterly boring, would not recommend if you want a mature take on Mulan. 😑 0/9 See more Luke W @RT91909261 Jul 17 This is probably a qualifier for the worst Disney movie ever because they completely got rid of all the best song from the original movie and the awesome believes character mushu. They changed the story from a girl who wants to fight for her country and even more for her father to a story where she runs away to fight a shapeshifting phoenix woman. If your gonna watch this movie dont expect a fun action paled adventure with a clever witty girl expect a dramatic mess up. See more Read all reviews
