Not your Disney's Mulan
After watching this minutes after watching Disney's live-action version, I have to say I really enjoyed it. It was different from anything that I have seen for Mulan (that would only be both of Disney's versions) and to me, feels more realistic than the others.Story
I really liked how in this story, Mulan actually has people from her village in the army and they know she is a woman and decides to help her. It makes it more believable that she was able to become a solider without people noticing. I also liked how the plot was made up of different smaller missions. And the ending was great. Really liked that they even left it a bit ambiguous to the viewer to decide.
I think that the only thing I didn't like was the story felt rushed. We only see Mulan as a woman for a few minutes in the beginning and then she was a great soldier from the start.
Acting
This is the first Chinese film that I see and I thought the acting was good. I would like to see more films the leads and see them act in different situations.

The better "Mulan"
After being disappointed by Disney's live action"Mulan", I started searching for other Mulan movies and came across this one. And I wasn't disappointed.For starters, the costumes and scenes were more historically accurate. The script was well written and gave depth to the characters. This also gave the actors the ability to let their acting skills shine. The starting massacre scene gave the story its backdrop of situation the city faced.
The choice of using relatively unknown actor and actress to play Li Liang and Hua Mulan was good casting.
Overall, this movie is worth a 2nd watch.
