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-

This movie is an insult to the original. No charm, no substance, and the removal of many of the classic characters. You don't have Disney enough.

Love this movie!!!!! I hope there is another one!!!! In the shadow of the original mulan it doesn't compare which is why I didn't like it the first time but when you watch it without comparing to the first one it's actually amazing!!!!! I watched it for the 2nd time thinking I wouldn't like it BUT I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. This is an amazing movie and I urge you NOT to compare to the original, it's way better that way

I just watch the movie. Old version 1998 Mulan she gave herself an extremely dangerous haircut by used her dad’s sword that “borrowed “. In 2020 version they skip the screen. Many show mostly her in boot camp.. I enjoy the 1998 version Mulan . That version is funny and amazing.

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.

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-

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!?!?
