Mulan

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.

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

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-

Alysha S (spoiler) The film shouldn't have been shot where there are concentration camps and I don't know why Mulan is a superhero. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Yos F The story was sucks and totally different, no mushuuu hell no Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review jessie j It's like that wanted to tell a new story but wanted to shoe horn in an ip they owned .Not even to mention, NO songs, and NO side kicks like mushu and the cricket where hafe the charm from the original. And the songs where some of there best Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Trey Z Seriously just bad. Took an amazing movie and ruined it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Katherine Claire T They took the original and made it badly Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Dama D This is Trash. 1998's Mulan is about female empowerment, about learning to find yourself. This Mulan movie gives the message that You are good for nothing if you are not born with a gift.Part of the witch has bothered me quite a bit because In Womens hero movies There always has to be a villain who is a woman To balance gender equality Equality means that a woman can fight against men And not because you were born with a gift that makes you In the best of warriors Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
