hunterryanbelkin The first act of Mulan is decent enough to get the viewer interested, the second act is where it starts to pick up. The second act is by far the best part of the film. However, once we get to the third act, it all falls apart and becomes a boring mess. Still, great music and Eddie Murphy's voice talents are charming.

hecoxjus Mulan was a fun, exciting movie with great visuals, great characters, great music, and a great story. While the story was perhaps a bit generic, it was still very well done, and it had a great deal of funny moments. At times, the story got considerably dark. Shan Yu is really underrated as a villain. Some of his scenes and lines are downright terrifying, and they add brilliantly to the atmosphere of the movie.

Minahzur Rahman I actually got this film on VHS and saw it, and it was an interesting film or story shall we say. They made a sequel afterwards, but that wasn't required, and had the producers not done that then the Mulan film would've held more weight, and that is why I don't rate Mulan as good as the Lion King, Aladdin and even Hercules. The characters introduced in this film were good – the best was that fiery red dragon named as MUSHU!!! it was that dragon why this film was so successful.
