I want to know as well! Was it good? My friend is a big Mulan fan and I wonder if it is worth watching.

I liked it! It was good entertainment factor lol. Culturally though, it was all over the place. But I liked it! I like the new song by Christina Aguilera at the end. The movie is a bit more serious. And there’s a bit of gender inequality. You’d understand if you watch it. I felt bad for the witch. I felt she was just as much as a victim than a true villain.
If you watch it with entertainment in mind, it’s fine. For Chinese culture though? Yeah forget about it it lol. My parents raged a bit about it, calling it a western trash movie. I was okay with it.
If you want to watch it, let me know! I think I still have the link for it. Give me a PM though, I don’t want to distribute the link everywhere lol.

Ah, it makes me kinda sad, I was hoping they will do justice to Chinese culture and history.
You've made me curious about the witch though, now I want to watch it just for this character.

well honestly, i don't really think so? i mean, sure there was some cultural aspects but....uhh...well i remember my friend remarking that the first outfit the emperor wore had not only chinese elements, but japanese and korean too. @-@ so yeah, they kinda smushed stuff together.
and like the makeup during the matchmaker part, it reminded me more of japanese geishas although i'm sure historically the chinese had similar traditions as well.
i think the thing that made my parents rage the most was the three "pillars of virtue" which were engraved in the sword. they just literally smacked three words together, sort of how western people get tattoos of characters like "strength" or whatnot because they have MEANING. but if this had been culturally accurate, engravings would be more poetic in nature, probably in some kind of half couplet. not just three random words engraved together. @-@

Yeahh, those tattoos. That's what it felt like when I saw those engraved words on the sword. @-@ I mean, they DO mean those so called "pillars of virtue" but uh......in Chinese, you wouldn't just smush three words together like that lol. Sometimes, if you smush Chinese words together, without context, they could mean something else. So. Yeah.
Ahh so you've already got a place for the movie. I still have mine so if you want it, just give me a message lol.
I'm not sure how much homework they did on the cultural things, given there were supernatural elements. For all I know, they could've smushed different costumes from different Asian cultures or time periods and that's it. xD;;
Yeah. There's a witch. Instead of Shanyu's falcon, you get a shapeshifting witch.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and instead of Mushu, you get a phoenix. And a fatty instead of Crikee (the cricket). LOL and instead of a Little Brother, we get a younger sister. XD YEAH.

Didn't she also attempt to fix it and have made yet another mistake with even worse outcome? :')
I'll just never understand... if you want a world in specific language on tattoo, in movie etc, why not hire someone fluent in that language to verify it? Why people just go and do those ridiculous mistakes that could be fixed by literally paying few dollars for verification?
