Is 'Mulan' Worth $30 to Watch Now? Read These Reviews!

Disney’s live-action remake of Mulan is now available to watch on the streaming service Disney+, but you need to pay a $29.99 fee to gain access to the movie.

So, is the movie worth spending an extra $30, on top of your Disney+ subscription costs, to watch three months before it’s available for free? Here’s what critics are saying!

The film currently has an 81% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 148 reviews counted. The site’s Critics Consensus is: “It could have told its classic story with greater depth, but the live-action Mulan is a visual marvel that serves as a stirring update to its animated predecessor.”

See what some individual critics had to say below:

Chicago Sun-Times‘ Richard Roeper: “The international cast is nothing short of great, led by Yifei Liu’s movie star turn as a boundaries-shattering, stereotype-defying hero-warrior for her time and for ours.”

Washington Post‘s Ann Hornaday: “Little girls might be better off sticking with the cartoon for now; but this opulent, ambitious production and Liu’s focused, intrepid performance at its center, gives them something to grow into.”

Hollywood Reporter‘s Inkoo Kang: “Liu has enough charisma for a lead performance, but the script gives her no depth and no meaningful relationships to work with.”

Variety‘s Peter Debruge: “One could complain that hardly a single frame feels original, but there’s no denying how striking it all looks.”

TheWrap‘s Steve Pond: “[I]f you strip away the things that make this such an unusual release in such an unusual year, you’ll find a pretty good movie and one that approaches this story with heart and with fresh eyes.”
