Bad movies that stars can't save

My expectations are not very high, but after more than two years of waiting, this rubbish script has no sincerity. Probably because I'm too familiar with Mulan's animations. Looking at it calmly now, they did not do their due diligence to complete the deconstruction and reconstruction of the script, and made a lot of "seemingly necessary" deletions and additions to the established script. Deleted are soul roles (such as grandma, mushu, worms, and various friendships of several big men), Mulan's rebellion (she goes against the original environment, against the women's private school, and against the adaptation process of military life) Conflict with her father since childhood (because Mulan surpassed a man's fear of life and death and the righteousness of the family and country, and because her father missed her daughter day and night, she was finally reconciled when she joined the army on her father's behalf). Disney's visual effects are nothing to say, but the thin plot and deliberately contrived story line, you will find that this movie does not even have the patience to let the audience experience a complete story line in addition to Mulan's feelings. I feel like I just watched a beautiful qigong master who opened up, how to hang and beat the army. . . (Is there a qigong fan from the screenwriter?)

The added role is only Gong Li, the embarrassing magician witch. The emotion of the character can't even be said to be facialized, it's simply broken. In the whole drama, in addition to a Chinese version of Wonder Woman, how many impressions do you have?

Apart from being distressed for my favorite Tianxian, Gong Huang and Li Jie, this movie is not worthy of me and anyone around me contributing to the box office. For dozens of dollars, I'd better buy popcorn!

It turns out that letting foreigners make Chinese films (note: live-action films here!) is a last resort. Shame and throw it home!

    This...historical accuracy or something is originally a folk tale, but this film was made... did the screenwriter live in East Asia? The story of Mulan was originally very simple. Against the background of an era when women were being restrained and oppressed, how a woman who transcended the times challenged the secular discipline on women and promoted the change of the times. As a result, the movie revolved around the "real me", so why don't you just write Mulan as Trans! The male protagonist has no sense of existence, and Mulan's emotional scenes have been simplified to the point where they seem to be vague, with only a little ambiguity and a bit of calcium. Even with the training of Hollywood and Disney, Angel is completely expressionless. The original animation Mulan is a very lively woman. After disguising, she deliberately reduced her expression. Finally, she became vivid again after the real face was revealed. Tianxian acted as if she had a bit of bipolar disorder. The progression of the plot is completely straightforward, without any turbulence and dramatic structure. I feel that the plot keeps jumping and jumping. Also, there is not a single song in this movie! ! This is a Disney princess movie! ! Even if there is no box office of Erfei, it will lose both at home and abroad...
