With this flop of a remake, the Disney we all loved and grew up with, is gone. It's been replaced by a corporation who cares only how to create the most profitable movie with the least amount of effort. We all knew this remake was going to be bad from the start, when they first announced it. I mean, how can you just remove Mushu? I don't know what they were going for, trying to make a more "serious" and "realistic" story. The story is roughly the same, just without all the memorable scenes, dialogue, humor, and heart. You're better off sticking to the original, and that pretty much goes for all their recent remakes. Don't waste your $$$.

In terms of positives, I really love the cinematography. They really make china look beautiful. I also love the lead as Mulan. Liu Yifei does a pretty great job portraying Mulan. But I really felt that this film apart from those positives was just kinda soulless. It was much longer than the first, so the pacing was alot slower and boring at times. The original really had a nice blend with comedy and drama.

The really expressive animation and catchy songs really elevated my enjoyment of that film. So watching this remake really made me love the original alot more. I think i recommend you watching the original film than this one if you want to have fun watching a Mulan film while also being engrossed in the gripping story.

Apparently Mulan has super powers now and is the greatest warrior from the get go. This movie is corny and laughable. It was hard to root for mulan because her character was so boring.
