Stream it now Mulan II

 

hey Fantastic Thank you

What an offence. This is terrible. It can't match the greatness that was Mulan 1. It's characters have turned into lovable to hateable. Especially Morshu. He was transformed from a hilarious, loveable dragon into a cringeworthy, annoying jerk. And what about the songs?! Every one of them were either songs from the original made worse or songs that you wanted to fast forward the second you heard music. When you think about this, you'd think that if anything, it's a comedy, compared to the epic, yet suitably funny Mulan 1. Disney's worst animation? One of them.

.....

Dull, uneventful and unimaginative. So much more could and should have been done. However, my 8 year daughter enjoyed it. If you're desperate, you could use this movie as a short time babysitter.

It seems that Disney said here, we have money to burn...which brilliant movie could we destroy with a terrible sequel?

This movie is okay, it has many problems:

- the singing parts in it are terrible.

- it's not as funny as the first movie.

- Mushu is a douchebag and this movie is living proof that he is. He tried to get Shang and Mulan to not love each other so that they would not want to get married to one another. He did this just to keep his job and his pedestal position. He's an asshole. Mushu ruined this movie. This movie already has 3 comical characters, it didn't need another one.

- this movie's plot is not as epic or interesting as the first movie's plot, there's no main villain in this movie. Why the fuck couldn't there be a villain in this movie? There should've been a villain in here.

- the kid characters are stupid and annoying.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Despite this movie's obvious flaws, it has a good ending and everything works out ok. This movie is good, but it's not as good as the first movie. Watch it if you want to, this isn't a movie that you must watch, like the first movie was. This movie is okay. 7/10

The first movie was great, but this was just horrible.

The original Mulan was controversial in having the lead character a female and not have it a girly film. The only controversy around Mulan 2 is that the quality of the films has gone from superb to complete rubbish within one film.

A real direct-to-video. Horridly done and does not contain the excellency of the first.

To say the least, it was a disappointment watching the sequel to the famous Mulan. Instead of an adventurous comeback the sequel was melodramatic!, dealing with the theme of arrange marriage v/s love marriage in ancient China (much to the horror of Mulan fanbase. yikes!). Less than 5 minutes of action, a few tears, some silly flirting and the huge debate over the opposites, good or bad in a relationship, Darrell Rooney and Lynne Southerland present to you Mulan II.

The movie starts with general Shang proposing Mulan. Mushu with the fear of losing his job as the guardian dragon after Mulan gets married, takes up the job of parting the two. Mulan and General Shang are then called by the Chinese emperor to take his 3 daughters- Mei, Su and Ting Ting to the kingdom of Qui Gong. They are supposed to get married to the 3 princes of the kingdom (whom the haven't ever seen) so that an alliance could be formed between the two kingdoms to fight the upcoming Mongol forces. General Shang, Mulan alongwith along with Chien-Po, Ling and Yao (the three soldiers from the first film) move ahead with the mission of escorting the princesses safely to the kingdom Qui Gong. On the journey the princesses and the soldiers fall in love. Mulan jumps with joy when she comes to know about it while General Shang is outraged. They both learn that they are extremely different and decide to break off the wedding. Shang tells his soldiers that the mission is still on and they are supposed to stay away from the princesses and only obey their duty of protecting them on the way. Seeing Mulan unhappy after the breakup, Mushu confesses to Mulan that he created all the misunderstandings between Shang and her. Mulan sets out to tell Shang that she still loves him but by then the bandits attack them. Shang while fighting with the bandits falls down the bridge and is presumed to be dead. Mulan asks the soldiers and the princesses to run away and abandons the mission. On reaching Qui Gong, she makes up a story of a fatal accident on the way resulting in the death of all others and instead of the princesses offers herself to marry one of the Qui Gong prince so that the alliance could be formed. Meanwhile Shang emerges from the river alive and heads to Qui Gong to stop Mulan from marrying the prince. Mushu helps the cause by voicing the Chinese God of Alliance leading General Shang to marry Mulan.

The charm and distinctiveness that its prequel bore is completely lost. The movie does not deal with the concept of arrange v/s love marriage in an interesting way. The approach is melodramatic instead of a logical one only emphasizing ''following the heart''. The customs of arrange marriage in ancient China has not been condemned but simply questioned. Moreover why love marriage is better than the arranged one has not been mentioned. Mulan II started out on a promising note but after about 20 minutes the same conventional and sappy plot took over the film and carried till the end. If not to anyone else, Mulan II at the most could probably serve the pre-teen audience seeking out to know something about customs and ritual in the ancient world.
