Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Fa Mulan Strikes Back!
Overview: The 2020 version of Mulan is a live action movie that I wouldn’t quite call a remake of the 1998 release due to some key differences.
The Good: Lets start out with the build quality of the SteelBook. Like always, Best Buy has knocked it out of the park with the case and artwork. The case is sturdy and feels like it’ll last for generations definitely a good display piece on your bookshelf or wherever you keep your movies. The artwork on the interior case foreshadows at the story, which shows a civilian version of Mulan juxtaposed against an armored warrior one on the right.
The main thing you need to know about this movie is that it’s a much more serious retelling of the story than the animated one. There are no musical numbers in this movie and characters don’t randomly break out into songs. You will hear beautifully orchestrated versions of some of the melodies from the 1998 release, however, which is a welcome touch. Parents, be aware - the fights in this are graphic. Fa Mulan, who is well played by actress Liu Yifei, kicks some serious butt!
The plot of the movie is roughly paralleled to the animated version, but is updated nicely for 2020. This is a great movie about how women can be just as powerful and competent as men, potentially even more so. The cinematography is captivating, and events move the story forward at a brisk pace.
The Bad: You may not feel as invested in some of the side characters as you did in the original movie.
The Other: Disney spent over $200 million dollars producing this movie. Wow!
Recommended: Yes.
