Fun fact: the reason why the actress is so wooden, boring and rarely emotes is because she has said that it helps make her more pretty. I am not joking. Also, I love how the directors said that they removed Mushu because they didn’t want any magic in the movie while giving us a witch and a phoenix.

I have the suspicion that when she is mocking her make-up (apparently it was based on real Chinese make-up, but re-created in a very disrespectful way) by demonstrating how there is no difference between her facial expressions, she was not being sarcastic. That was a legit demonstration and guide of her acting range. I don't know, maybe in other movies she gave a better performance, but here she had the same expression throughout the entire movie. The voice actress of the original Mulan had more intonations in one line than New Mulan had in a 100 lines!

"Not as bad as other Disney remakes" This is hands down the worst one, imo. The acting, editing, pacing and CGI are awful. I can never lose myself because there's constantly something reminding me it's a movie, and a bad movie at that. At least Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast showed the actors had some talent, be it Jasmine's acting, Aladdin's dancing or Beast's singing. I see pretty much no talent on screen when I watch this. I can't even appreciate the martial arts because the editing is so jumpy.

and it also devalues the image of femininity, strength, and when a social issue actually needs to be opposed instead of it being absolutely nothing worth wasting time on. Like 2 people in your household saying you can't be an individual while society says, "actually no, you have to be an independent person giving us money," and in the meantime the whole of humanity is asking, "what the hell is this conformity thing you lot keep hocking at us?" When people look for problems everywhere there isn't instead of seeing and addressing the ones right in front of their faces, they make a big fuss over "issues" and slights that are utterly meaningless schlock while simultaneously neglecting the actual problem(s) actively hitting them over the head with a bunch of chairs.

It's because of representation. Characters can't be characters anymore (unless they're straight white men), they have to represent women/minorities/gays. Because these are representations and not characters, giving them any flaw is not giving a character a flaw, it's attacking an entire demographic. This is just another example of how identity politics is poisoning and ruining art. As much as the SJWs said, "Nobody's coming for your games/movies," that's exactly what they were coming for and it's been obvious for years.

I just hate it in general when an obviously special character has to act like their specialness is a flaw. I don't care how sexist your culture is, ANY country at war would recruit the woman with magical ass-kicking powers into the army. They'd have to be fucking stupid not to. The original Mulan, on the other hand, looked like a genuine failure until she actually got an opportunity for her talents to shine through. Shang was a better fighter than her, but he didn't have the brains or the daring to come up with taking the Huns out with an avalanche.

Clearly, Disney thought "chi" (or "qi" in Mandarin) is just Chinese for "the Force". IIRC, chi permeates across nature and all living beings, including humans. Though optional, at best people can learn to harness it (e.g., tai chi and other forms of martial arts), use its flow across nature for their benefit (e.g., feng shui), or repair any irregularity in the body's chi system (e.g., acupuncture, moxibustion, and taking certain natural medicine).

It's even worse when you consider that eastern culture favors the "rise of the hero" archetype, where a hero undergoes intense training and a long, hard journey to become strong. Think of Goku from Dragonball Z or Kenichi from History's Strongest Disciple. Starting out strong is antithetical to that, so you can see this Mulan as being the villain in that regard.

I and my classmates back in high school prepared a small amateur thater for kids. We were doing an adaptation of Mulan from Disney. Now, we were a technical school, so none of us were actors, nor were we some heavy poetry readers and such. We pretty much just watched the movie scene by scene, debated on how to put it into theater version with some comedy for kids and then moved on. For example there was that moment when Shang walks by his soldiers, examining them, telling them they will train real hard and such, but we put in a small slapstick to make little ones laugh more. So Shang had a sheated sword on hip and as he walked by, it swung up with every step, hitting every soldier in the crotch. All soldiers were reacting to pain in some comical way, just Mulan did not react at all. All without Shang noticing of course. XD Now... we had to all that and had almost no money to speak of. Instead of cannons we used those tiny firework rockets that make a ton of noise and die out without explosion. Armors were mostly just folded black paper that held together with some strings, helmets were just carton, swords were mostly wooden with only exception being mine since I had a replica at home. I played Chien-Po, being the fattest in class. And I got an email from High School, saying that our adaptation was better than the actual remake with I don't even want think how big budget and that everyone who has seen them agrees. Imagine how bad you gotta make it if a bunch of high school kids with no acting experience nor talent make a better thing than you with millions of dollars and professional staff and effects.

"The male hare has heavy front paws. The female hare tends to squint. But when they are running side-by-side close to the ground, who can tell me which is male or female?" Is a quote from the original Ballad of Mulan. It's her response to her fellow soldiers, when after 12 years of campaigning they finally find out she was a woman all this time. That's why that bit about the two rabbit at the start was added.

At least Rey had a personality. She would get upset at injustice, excited at learning her abilities, devastated at the loss of people she cared for, and proud of the cause for which she fought. Even though she was a bit of a Mary Sue, she was an enjoyable character and Daisy Ridley did a great job bringing that character to life. This Mulan is about as interesting as a McDonald's cheeseburger. It's something, but it's pretty bland and forgettable.

I don't think you should mock their manner of speaking. It might have been difficult for the actors to speak in English. I think they should have spoken in their own language, and let it be translated as text on screen. Thus they would have spoken more fluidly and naturally. It felt very strange and wrong (unrealistic) to hear Mulan trying to mimick an American accent in a diiferent part of the film. I empathise with the actors for making the effort to speak in English.

Right one of the best parts of the original was she conquered the arrow challenge by using her creativity but even then she STILL had to struggle and almost fell.

Honestly, the whole “More Realism, Less Magic” excuse never really made sense to me. The only magic I remember from the original movie was Mushu and her ghost ancestors. And the latter could technically not be magic in my opinion. But then they just do a hypocrisy and give her “Chi” which basically makes her a natural born super soldier. So what was the point of taking the magical elements out? Edit: Oh, Yeah, I completely forgot to mention of the completely dumbass move that in their “Realistic movie” they put in a shap shifting witch (who looks like a Chinese Rita repulsa) and a Fucking Phoenix!?

I've said this in other Live Action Mulan Reviews, and I'll say it here again: The biggest problem I had with this movie, is that it completely ruins the feminist and empowering message of the original, with a garbage message. In the original movie, Mulan was weak, she was clumsy, she was incompetent, she was afraid, lost, and confused. But so were all the other recruits, showing that men and women are equals, they share the same strengths and the same weaknesses. And it was only through determination, hard work, and effort, that both she and the other cadets, went from complete failures to skilled warriors in their own right. The message for any little girl watching it being a clear "See girls? if you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything that the boys can do too" In the remake however, Mulan is a fucking superhero from childhood, able to bend the laws of physics to her will, and capable of superhuman feats nobody else can make. She doesn't earn any of her skill, she's just born with it. Which turns the message instead into "See little girls? if you are born with superpowers, you can accomplish anything! And if you don't? well, off to the kitchen with you, where you belong". And this is reinforced with the introduction of the completely pointless character of Mulan's Sister. She doesn't have any powers, so what's her role in the story? Be a glorified baby-making machine and conform to the gender norms. You're either born a superhero, or you're just a kitchen accessory. THAT is the message of this movie. This is a very misogynistic movie that has the balls to try to pretend its feminist.

I love one more thing in the animation that's missing here. So, Mulan wins Li Shang's arrow challenge not because she's miraculously head and shoulders above all men and can climb the post with weights on her wrists when no one else can, but because she found out how to turn the obstacle into her asset. And then she does exactly the same in the avalanche scene. And when she loses her sword, in the fan scene. It's logical and it's built up to, it feels earned and doesn't feel like a fluke, because she'd always had to learn how to compensate for her weaknesses and work with what she's got. Because, being a woman raised in the society when she couldn't do sports and in a wealthy enough family that she didn't have to do a lot of hard physical work, when she has to compete against men who are encouraged to be fit, she is naturally the last in everything in the beginning, as you'd expect - not magically stronger than all of them. And while women tend to be more agile and coordinated, we are shown that Mulan was clumsy, so she didn't even have this advantage. So it feels realistic that she was behind everyone else. And you can see how overcoming this helps her think fast in such situations rather than panicking when she loses her strength which she never had to begin with.

There’s actually nothing wrong with a female character taking what she learned from a man and making it her own (in fact I think it’s what made Mulan so beloved in the first place). And if you still wanted to take men out of the equation entirely, have them be taught by a woman. You can take men out of the equation while not making her a Mary Sue, kill two birds with one stone. Please keep this in mind when making films in the future. Sincerely yours, OG Mulan fans (+Star Wars fans too)

Pretty much every female character that’s come out within the last several years would be complete poison for a little girl. Imagine if all your heroes succeed effortlessly on the first time, make everyone around them look I completely incompetent by comparison, but you don’t, and you never saw heroes like Rocky who had to fall down and learn to get back up.

@@andyz2861 yep, thats *PERFECT* teach the child if they dont get it right the first time they're not ment to succeed, or something is wrong with thim. Id just show her the original. Mulon was already a good role model. Protecting who she loves, refusing to let traditional life tell her what she would do in order to do so, and fighting alongside the men and proving she was the same WITHOUT MAGIC. And for me the most important part, it didn't seem pandering, and was still entertaining. As a woman i hate being pandered to, and id be even more angry if my child was pandered to. If every single one of your characters is raving about how they're going to break the glass ceiling or the company behind it weasels tgat message in with painfully obvious signs im not going to give it attention. Make me good characters. Not glorified feminism tokens.

I got another idea for a parody trailer that mocks these remakes: Disney Live Action Remakes 2010s edition. In which we see what would happen if the Disney hits of that decade got nostalgic enough to warrant live action remakes, and beloved characters like Rapunzel, Vanellope, Judy Hopps, or Moana we're written like the other remake versions of acclaimed Disney ladies. And then follow it up with saying that they're going to make more Disney Channel original movies like the Kim Possible one, but with Gravity Falls, Owl House, Amphibia, Ghost and Molly McGee, and other recent beloved TV cartoons, and show the girls in those shows acting like your average hokey Discom characters, like how Kim was in her film. Well, at least that joke she made about how cartoony it is that she wore the same outfit all the time won't be seen as out of place with shows of today: Stan: Y'see Mabel, that cyclops is a figurine being moved one frame at a time by a social awkward shut in. Soos: Those people are called animators.

I would have loved a different approach for every live action, a more sincere and coherent one like the ones you suggested! I can picture them! In fact it almost seem like that was the idea all along but every time they were forced by the higher ups to just stick to the original (with awkward results). Although my wish is that they would actually be experimental and you know, make new movies instead of remakes.
