As a Disney film this was a flop. No Disney to be found and my daughters who love Mulan 1998 were sorely disappointed and did not even bother watching to the end. I'm a huge Disney fan myself and could understand their dismay. The pivotal songs, scenes and supportive characters were all missing. They vaguely kept to the storyline. Disney were able to get it as close with Aladdin and Beauty & The Beast, sad they chose to go another direction with this.
However as a standalone movie, this was enjoyable. Battle scenes were fantastic (specifically Mulan's fighting scenes).The wigs and costuming on some of the characters were odd and out of place with the high quality cinematography. It was pleasant to watch but not worth the $43 premium fee.
