This movie isn’t worth your time. It’s lackluster in just about every way. There are only 3 songs in the entire movie and one of them is a repeated song from the first movie with some new lyrics. For most of the movie, there is no real tension or sense of urgency. Mushu becomes the antagonist, which doesn’t fit his character at all. Mushu causes so much turmoil that I began to dislike him, although he was one of my favorite characters in the first movie. Mushu is deliberately causing problems in Mulan’s relationship with Shang. It sucks to see. This movie just boils down to a lame, meandering road trip story where they try and force in some drama unsuccessfully at the end. The last 20 minutes are some of the worst of the movie. They feel rushed and out of place. The only fight of the movie takes place. Someone “dies” and comes back literally 5 minutes later. The supposed main objective of the movie takes a backseat so Mulan can get married in some random city, without ever properly addressing if their original goal will still be completed. Definitely skip this movie. Was this really the best sequel the writers could come up with? If so, it is a shame.
