This is a review of the two movies Mulan - Rise of the Warrior released in 2009 against the. The good does outweigh as far as the presentation goes. Film Review - Mulan 2009 / Mulan 2020 (Disney release). The only minor gripe I have with the visual element was the sometimes dodgy CGI with the barrage of arrows and the aforementioned “spirit in the sky” scene which looked incongruous and was cheesy.

The fight scenes are well choreographed with a mix of full scale battles to the occasional close-combat martial arts scene straight out of the wuxia playbook albeit more realistic. You see hundreds of soldiers on each side taking on these massive battles throughout the movie. The cinematography is great and feels epic. Yes, her face turn was obvious from the get-go, but at least it added more tension between this faction of the war. She initially agrees with her father and Mendu, but her main goal is for there to be unity between the Rouran and the rest of the Chinese. However, I do think the Rouran Princess was a complex character. His subjects are decently threatening since they do score some victories against Mulan’s forces in the middle of the film and torture various captives, but they aren’t too special. Sure, he’s calm about it most of the time, but I didn’t find him to be special. As can be seen here, only the USA uses the current title.The UK uses 2 different titles, Mulan: Warrior Princess (DVD), and Mulan: Legendary Warrior.I do understand WP:Natural but with so many international titles, the current title. Mulan: Legendary Warrior isn't exactly innovative, and it doesn't really add anything new to a story that has been told many times, but it's an expertly crafted film that fuses war and romance genres in a highly absorbing way. The main villain is Mendu is a typical greedy and power hungry villain who wants to take over the wealthier provinces. Mulan: Rise of a Warrior Mulan (2009 film) IMDB lists the film under the current title, but even the DVD cover art on IMDB has a different English title. Mulan: Legendary Warrior charts the early life and rise to power of Hua Mulan, a fearless heroine who disguises herself as a man and goes to war in place of her ailing father. The villains in the Rouran tribe are mostly standard fare. There’s also the sub-commander Wentai who sees Mulan’s worth as a soldier despite being very by-the-book and rigid towards others. Her friend Tiger (or Xiaohu if you prefer the Mandarin name) is there and recognizes her, but promises to keep her identity secret lest she be executed by her superiors. You see, this version of the Mulan character had some martial arts training for years and she joins the army barely even five minutes into the movie, so it goes straight into the military aspect fairly early. That’s where the similarity in your head ends. Hua Mulan’s father is drafted, but she goes in his place while being disguised as a man. There’s a war going on between China and a nomadic Mongolian tribe (the Rourans and not the Huns in this case).
