The final movie of a trilogy concludes the whole story. The fighting scene at the end is amazing. The emotional moments brought tears to my eyes. You need to watch the prequels to enjoy this one.
The storyline is so absurd that there is no point at all. It's not even funny.
Mulan is a visually beautiful movie. Directed by Niki Caro, whose enchanting 2002 film "Whale Rider" felt like a family-friendly, live-action Disney fantasy, "Mulan" is no mere remake. It's simultaneously an homage to and an overhaul of the 1998 animated feature, a robust reimagining of that film's original source, Yuefu folk song "The Ballad of Mulan," and the somewhat dated cartoon it spawned. Unlike "The Lion King" or "Beauty and the Beast," which slavishly adhered to their underlying IP, "Mulan" feels as if it were made by someone who didn't necessarily love Disney's earlier treatment. That may disappoint fans who grew up on that version but should pose no obstacle to a new generation sure to be inspired by this epic-scale tribute to female empowerment.
