This movie lived up to my expectations wholeheartedly and emotionally. The production value and cinematography were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING throughout the watching experience and you could tell not only the cast but the crew and everyone else involved worked hard to bring this new and adapted version of the tale we hold near and dear to our hearts to life. Thank you Niki Caro and Liu Yifei for directing and starring in this film and showing us what it means to be Loyal, Brave, and True. It truly brought nostalgia and euphoria for me and brought me back to my childhood. :') <3
Just to be clear, Mushu, singing, and black comedic remarks are not present because it is simply not that type of movie. The '98 Mulan is a masterpiece in itself, but this one here truly lives up to the time we live in now. Both are beautiful in their own special ways.
Please experience this for yourself and do not let poor reviews deter your decision to watch this! Whether with premier access or waiting until December, you will not be disappointed!
