Mulan

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.

  • It might have been an excellent reinterpretation, were it not so heavy-handed and, well, Disney-fied. But what remains bears minimal discernible relationship to the original, while reading too much like a basic Marvel film.

  • Apart from the lack of singing, romance, comedy and a mouthy dragon, this is just like the original. You might wonder what's left. Well, $200 million buys a lot of scenery and sets and quite a few stars. This new version has spectacle in mind.

  • It's an efficient retelling of a tale about a young Chinese woman discovering her power -- affecting at times, occasionally quite lovely, but earnest, often clumsy, and notably short on joy.

  • If someone were to do a shot every time a character mentions "honor," they would surely die of alcohol poisoning before the credits roll under a new recording of "Reflection" from Christina Aguilera.

  • For a film with so much at stake, Mulan never feels epic, but it does succeed as a story of a young woman courageously defying cultural and social expectations.

    September 4, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
  • It's performed with such consummate precision and showmanship that at times you would swear you were watching something with a heart.
