Mulan

Must Watch. Awesome Story Movie

I liked it a lot, I have not seen the animated version yet and I like that because I enjoyed it without prejudice

cool cool this is a good movies

Mulan mixes the original story with Kung-Fu fantasy and it works. Definitely beats Disney just making another live action scene for scene musical remake.
Which doesn’t leave you thinking you just watched the same exact movie again. Like the Lion King.

It was deeply satisfying emotionally.

But, I also agree with the biting critique of @Malococsis , whose salient points remind me of a review of the movie, "Joker," which almost prevented me from even seeing it, let alone learning what Joaquin Phoenix's intentions were in his portrayal (So, I'm glad I watched it before I read Malococsis' review!)

I for one enjoyed it. Thankfully it does deviate a bit from the original and that lends it a unique flavour of its own. The original is a childhood favourite but this one is pretty good in its own right. The visuals are pretty good, the locations are terrific! The movie had a sweet and simple message to convey, which I felt it did so nicely....

My kid loves the animated version, I like this version, and there's nothing wrong about how we feel. Why do people always expect a true remake, a 100% scene by scene repetition, and feel uncomfortable when a known story is re-told with some interesting deviations?

So I actually ended up skipping this movie at its release, but with nothing to do, I caved and gave it a shot. I mean do absolutely love the animations, so why not give this one a shot, right?

I enjoyed this movie from the very start! Sure, it starts off a bit cheesy, but to be honest, that just adds to the movie. It gives a certain direction to it. I do think, the father/daughter relationship could've been a bit more organic. At some points, it just felt forced. Nonetheless, it doesn't depreciate the storyline.

There are clever little twists that deviate from the original and just add so much dimension to the movie. The action scenes are a bit far fetched at certain moments, but if we were able to appreciate the scenes in The Matrix, we should be able to appreciate what they did here.

If you're not stuck up on wanting the exact same storyline as the original and are willing to just enjoy the movie for what it is; this is a must watch. I didn't quite like the open end, but she achieves legendary status, so maybe it's not quite as open...

I came into it bracing to be disappointed but the more serious tone they took it really did well for the medium. Not having singing and dancing as well as a comedic phoenix definitely changed the tone of the movie by focusing almost solely on Mulan's own character growth. [spoiler]The change in heart of the witch at the end was really surprising and a bit unbeliavable[/spoiler] but I won't hold it against the overall story cuz it would've taken away from [spoiler]the fight with Mulan and Bori Khan[/spoiler] if Mulan had to deal with the witch as well either before or during the finale. I definitely think the movie stayed true in essence to the original due to the themes and central focus on Mulan as a character.
