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.

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.

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

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.

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

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-

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

At first the trailer looked promising but when I saw it on the big screen for the first time I was confused, everything they had done for this movie was basically done in another universe, the scenes were all slapstick and pasted with the title "Mulan". At that point it wasn't Mulan anymore. Disney needs to get their act together.
