This movie received so much dishonor even before it even was released, but does it deserve dishonor for being what it is?

This film is almost impossible to review. In a vacuum its alright, neither the worst nor best Disney remake. But as a film without a vacuum, its an object mess that I would honestly hope others don't see.

Yeah... On one hand, I pity the “Mulan” remake for the controversies that were outside of its own control. Then again, we ARE still talking about a Disney live-action remake and a majority of those (save for maybe “The Jungle Book”) have a very limited lifespan in the public zeitgeist. It’s often a repetitive cycle of being released, churning out an astronomical amount of box office revenue, and then fading into obscurity.

For an historic epic AND a live-action remake, Disney really tripped themselves on this flick... I'd rather watch one of Sergei Eisenstein's movies that really grasp the historic (albeit politicized) lives of Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible, than another money-grab 2-hour brain-damaging movie.

If you want to know about my opinion with the remake, I hate this movie. This is on top of one of the worst Disney Live Action movies I seen next to the Lion King and Maleficent. I grew up with animated version of Mulan and it one of my favorite Disney animated films and the remake had me frustrated throughout the whole film. Granted I like the cinematography, some production and costume design, and a new song from Christina Aguilera, the rest of the remake sucks. The acting was so wooden, the characters weren’t memorable and poorly written, new characters are pointless, the villains, which I have to disagree with your opinion, were not engaging and not interesting and it makes the original villain look better, the action scenes along with the choreography, which I have to disagree with you again, looked underwhelming and mediocre since they are either in high frame rate or not well put together. I seen some better Chinese action movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon that had better action scenes than this and even the Forbidden Kingdom, which was directed by Rob Minkoff who co made the original Lion King and directed two Stuart Little movies, that done better than this and it would be better off if was directed by Chinese director that know how to make Chinese fight scenes look better. Anyways, the editing was overly edited, the message was forceful and terrible, the pacing goes too fast, the script was laughably bad, and the worst of all, personally for me, is how they made Mulan a Mary Sue. Instead of having her goes off journey where she use determination, wits, and brain to become the best soldier in the animated film, this one just give her super powers with the power of Chi where she had to use it fight her to save China! Sorry if I go on a rant for this long but this movie broke the last straw on me on to looking forward to any other Disney live action remakes and the sad thing is that I was really looking forward since it tries to do something different only to led me to be angry even more. My overall thought is that it sucks and it not worth seeing it after wasting $30 for it and with many controversies it gotten especially with Liu Yifei supporting the police and recently filming over at the Muslim concentration camps, I don’t think even fans would want to go and see this movie without counting paying $30 for it on Disney+. I hated it and it very unlikely I’ll be watching the remake again anytime soon.

That opening bit was really funny. I haven’t seen the movie and honestly I really have no interest to. Especially since right now when you have to pay a premium fee to watch it. Although to be fair judging by the trailers at least it does seem like it tried to do something different compared to the other Disney live action remakes. And I definitely agree with you that despite how the movie turned out it did not deserve to go through all that controversy. Especially when it wasn’t even the movies fault.

I apologize if you hate comments that are pointlessly short, but I just wanna know the sound effect that plays when you find out that the "Mulan" remake has been delayed.
