Disney's Mulan will be opening in theatres soon. The movie was screened for a section of the media. While the review embargo is still in place, the social media embargo has been lifted and the first reactions to the film have popped up online. From the looks of it, Disney has another winner on its hand. The movie is the live-action remake of the 1998 animated film of the same name. The original movie was in turn based on a popular Chinese ballad. Mulan Final Trailer: Liu Yifei's Warrior Gears Up for a Fight, the Antagonists Make an Appearance (Watch Video).
Most of the reactions to the new film are good. Many have commented on how the film is faithful to both the ballad and the animated film.
While we will get a better insight into Mulan when the reviews come out, here are the first reactions to it. Mulan Trailer: A Brilliant Liu Yifei Makes up for Mushu's Disappearance in Disney's New Live-Action Remake (Watch Video).
A Mature Disney Film
#Mulan is exciting, vibrant, emotional, and different from the animated version. It's definitely its own thing, which I dug - a more mature Disney film, featuring stunning production design & fight choreography. Director Niki Caro & star Liu Yifei are the big stand-outs, imo pic.twitter.com/p6IEQUDNBu

A Surprisingly Sexy Film
Also! Surprisingly sexy for a Disney movie. Case in point: the very loud “OH MY GOD” that was uttered in the theater when Yoson An took his shirt off. #Mulan

Steamy Film
Disney’s Mulan remake leaves a lot behind, but offers much more in its absence. Plenty of 1998 throwbacks pepper a story full of incredible action, humor, and heart.
Oh, and the romantic chemistry gets STEAMY. Like chanting “kiss” in a silent theater steamy.#Mulan2020 #mulan pic.twitter.com/soILc7OdTm

Sophistication
I’m very surprised at how much I liked the live action #Mulan movie. It’s so majestic, the action is thrilling, it aims for a level of sophistication and beauty you don’t expect.
(I was never a huge fan of the animated film, I think I’ve only seen it once. So no attachments)

Fantastic
#Mulan is absolutely fantastic. Different enough with great action scenes, but with the heart of the original film. It doesn't even matter that it's not a musical. If you're a fan of the animated, there are subtle nods to many of the songs. Can’t wait to see this again.

Not All Were Impressed
There’s a great film yearning to break out in #Mulan, but it’s surprisingly bogged down by adapting the animation. It has its moments, but the poor villains and inconsistent action quality results in a mediocre movie. pic.twitter.com/2iZ3wZYOts

Mulan stars Liu Yaifei in the lead role playing the titular heroine who disguises herself as a man to spare her father from serving in the military. The new film has been directed by Niki Caro and her vision has been appreciated on Twitter.
