Review of Mulan (2020) by Zmok — 05 Sep 2020
Mulan the animation was one of my all time favorite movies and I really wanted this to be great. But this is one hot garbage of a movie. The animation celebrated and portrayed feminism and equality exceptionally well, while this movie got it completely wrong. Reducing Mulan's success to her being born with strong chi is both demeaning and cringy. In the animation, Mulan outperformed all the men in the army because her grit, hard work and determination, she earned the trust and friendship of her peers by proving herself and climbing the pole. She went from a weakling to a physically strong person through the army camp by driving herself to get better. Iconic and crucial moments in the animation such as her cutting her hair, or the emperor saying you bow to no one to Mulan.. removed without any proper replacement.
Don't get me started on the badly CGI pheonix or the shapeshifting witch. To reduce such an iconic and important movie to magical **** is disrespectful. It is embarrassing to say that this is actually worse than Matt Damon's Great Wall.
