Mulan 2020 is epic, dramatic, full of action, and fantastic!!! I enjoy the original animated version (I still know all the songs by heart); however, this live action version is almost a love letter to Chinese culture! A true Xianxia, nothing short of spectacular, and more true to the Mulan legend. The myth of Mulan has been told, written, and produced in multiple versions over the centuries, and this movie brings some of that to life in English. The acting is suburb,the CG is off-the-charts, and the cinematography was pure brilliance!
Do I think it is a crowd pleaser? That depends on your audience. Is it good for children? I agree with the PG-13 rating. It has violence, drama, and mystical/magic aspects. I don't believe little ones will enjoy due to the terror feeling in some parts.
I loved the film, enjoyed the musical score, and even the nod to the original with dialogue and a special guest!
