Life, it's subjective. As is everything in it. This movie, was it the best ever? Not even close. Was it the worst ever? That too, not even close. For me personally, having been to China on many occasions, I understand it more deeply than perhaps the majority of people do. Some slow parts, yes. But for me it was more about the watching Mulan begin to grow up in front of me. To make her own path, but yet, staying loyal to those in her regimen. That's why at the end, you know she did not join the emperors guard.
