What to Know

Critics Consensus

It could have told its classic story with greater depth, but the live-action Mulan is a visual marvel that serves as a stirring update to its animated predecessor.

Peter Travers ABC News At its core, Caro's "Mulan" is quietly revolutionary, as it revels in the exhilarating sight of a young woman fighting for and earning her place in the world. Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Roslyn Talusan Bitch Media I can only describe Mulan as a visually spectacular disappointment. Void of any emotional resonance, the film eschews coherent storytelling for what amounts to an Orientalist war epic masquerading as a feminist win for Asians everywhere. Mar 16, 2021 Full Review K. Austin Collins Rolling Stone Its cast, its attitude, its overall eagerness to please -- all benefits, one would think -- don't add up to a good movie. They add up to a blueprint of the movie this ought to be. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 23, 2020 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views It also does not help that Li is a legendary, iconic actor, and Yifei Liu, who plays Mulan, is not the best actor. She is not bad, but she is a wee bit wooden. Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net MULAN is a film best described as an “if only” production. If only the script had the input from actual Chinese people. If only it didn’t treat the culture, history, and mythology like a cheap prop. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Even though Niki Caro delivers the realistic, distinct take that was promised, its execution feels inferior to the original animated film in every single way. The 1998’s movie is far more epic and cinematic than its remake. Rated: C- Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Ann D Just saw this at last, and my booty was kicked! Seems to me to be perfectly cast with perfect design, technical artistry, musical score & battle choreography. Loved the acting and story, which I found not just entertaining but very moving. Nice to see Disney magic applied to a worthy project. Only sorry I didn’t get to see it in a theater. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Alexander S A live-action adaptation of Disney’s Mulan is worth establishing, as it could have been faithfully executed, authentically represented, and aesthetically pleasing. However, Mulan 2020 unfortunately deviated from this path when attempting to adopt a more serious tone in reference to the historical source material. While some Disney-esque sequences involving humour and English-only dialogue for a film set in the 4th century and aiming for a serious approach were retained, the decision to remove the musical notes in favour of a more serious tone resulted in an oddly jarring disconnect. Grading: C- Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review qwerty k So this like if you went through the events of how someone using a glass bottle as a sex toy leads to the fall of Yugoslavia, but you supply ZERO context. It's CONFUSING! Also, WHY IS THERE A SHAPE SHIFTING SCP!?!? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 56 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Sequences of Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Jason Scott Lee as Bori Khan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Ryan U A movie that had no business existing Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Triston S I have been a fan for Disney since I was a kid and I think the most garbage Disney remake is this one. Its story telling was so disappointing and so sad that the original was a timeless classic and the remake wasn’t even a remake because it wasn’t following the original and its plot from the original. Example: shan-yu is an all new character named Bori khan which was disappointing to see in this remake… I wanted 75% of the original characters not just the main character it forgot the Mushu dragon and the rest were just a bunch of other things that were not on the original story. And while we’re talking about it, the original had songs and this one did not. Made me want to eat my vegetables. A disgrace to the original movie. Felt like a reboot then a remake. 1/10 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
