Wu shuang Hua Mulan

When i watch some scene feel uncomplete, probably due to budget or what idk. Plot story just so so... still prefer mulan movie produced at 2009

A boring movie where you don't care for anything that happens. The characters are half-baked caricatures, who are goofy at one point and extremely emotional at the other. Complete and abrupt shift of events without warning, and the irritating music at every minute numbs your sense down to 0. Nothing is felt, nothing is remembered. Even the plot is so half-baked with out any innovative plotting, that removed all life from the proceedings. I couldn't care one bit about Mulan, as her motivations were subservient and stoic. One moment she wants to not kill anyone, the next moment she's slicing off throats. A disappointing piece of trash.

I´m not gonna call this movie perfect because it´s not. It does have plotholes and some cheesy scenes but still, the acting, setting, characters and the story are so much better than Disney´s. I would definitely watch it again unlike Disney Mulan which was dull and boring throughout the whole thing.

When it comes to ancient war based movies, It is more requisite to give the audience a brief history about the topic, so the global viewers can also get the backstory and understand the geopolitical threats and mistakes of that era, you can easily do that using strategic ancient looking maps and graphics to deepen the seriousness about the topic, but this just another low budget Mulan movie, failed to portray all that richness. The movie was more of a random brief, Mulan somehow impersonated as a Man and the storyline was in a hurry to put her in the battlefield which sets in a village somewhere in central China, in a small village of the northern Han empire invaded and challenged by the Mongols from Rouran Empire, and they kidnapped someone very dear to the Emperor, now objective of our Mulan has been updated to bring back and revenge the cruel Emperor of the antagonists!

The End.

Normally I might give a 6 for such a movie, but I gave 8 this time as it is better than Disney's, though made with a much much smaller budget. With a good budget, this movie could have some grand settings. Disney doesn't understand Chinese culture and history, but they have money to squander and have strong advertising capability. With these, they still can get a good box office income from rubbish movies. This one has Chinese savor.
