How do you measure a remake of a timeless classic? You can't really. Hence the 1 star instead of half. FIRST: where is mooshu? That alone is too much for me but I’ll set that aside. The plot is weak and rushed. It's a remake with all the impactful, humorous, and important moments removed - And not surgically but with a large clumsily handled blade. The FX were underwhelming and the weak movie drive couldn't make up for it. I think this actually undercut the strong woman message. I think the most disappointed part of it all was the terrible character development. Let me be more specific. There was none. By the end of the movie you don't know anyone's name, you have no idea who she befriends or why they support her. For such an important turning point you think they would have developed this more. They added another unnecessary female villain that just complicates the plot with witchcraft and magic. This brings me to my last point. Mulan - the previous form - was amazing because she served as a woman for duty and honor as just that, a woman. In this rendition they bless her with magical "chi" that is badly explained and essentially turns her into a plot armor ladened version of Wonder Woman. I won't spend anymore time on this disappointment but I will say that this 3rd rate movie was allowed to hide behind the great title of Mulan purely for profit's sake. Sad. Onto the mandalorian! Hopefully they won't mess that up as bad as this.
