What’s with all the 1/10 ratings on IMDb?
So what is so outraging about THIS movie?
shareHaven't seen it, and I don't really care, but the usual complaints are...
...people are miffed that it's $30 on top of the Disney Plus subscription.
...the lead actress supported the Chinese totalitarian government.
I think there are a lot of disgruntled people because they really changed the story from the cartoon as well. Ironically, that's what makes me more interested in this than in the other Disney remake$ which are just pushing nostalgia buttons without being interesting in their own right. But, I guess since people have been lapping up the other remakes, it's because of the nostalgia (and/or wanting to share that nostalgia with their kids), so when they messed with the formula, this is the result.
It's a super hero movie when it's not supposed to be as was the animated Mulan. Chi doesn't turn you into a super hero. It helps you to become the best you can be. Also, it's CGI is mediocre. The fun story and humorous characters of the animated movie are gone to be replaced by a mythical character that of a witch and a supportive Phoenix bird. I don't have a problem with strong women characters, but this one may as well come from Krypton and could fly. It has good battle scenes, but the characters behind them are stereotypes. It doesn't want to insult anyone and that may be its ultimate downfall. The story reads like a fairy tale with the Asian values of adversity, identity, honor and family behind it. These topics are fine in a drama, but not when it seems forced and heavy handed to give the story a happy ending. Furthermore, the ending is open enough to have a sequel. Finally, when did you last pay $29.99 on top of subscription fees to watch a movie at home?
