#SundayReviews: "Mulan" (2020)


Another year, another live action remake of a Disney animated movie. What will they do once they've tapped them all? Sequels I'm sure!

Anyways, this time it's Mulan, except released on the small screen of Disney+ because of you know, the Pandemic.

From Google:

"To save her ailing father from serving in the Imperial Army, a fearless young woman (Yifei Liu) disguises herself as a man to battle northern invaders in China."


Oh boy, this movie has so many problems, before we get to the actual film.

They failed at pandering to the Chinese audience.

They filmed in an area where there are Uighur Muslim concentration camps, and thanked the government for it.

Then the heroine turns out to be a chi superhero from she's a small kid, thus negating the hero's journey into more of a coming out party. Hell, even Superman had growing pains!

Maybe that's just nitpicking from comparing it to the Disney animated classic, but I don't think so...

Are there any positives? The Cinematography is topnotch.

BEAUTIFUL AND WATCHABLE BUT DISAPPOINTING.

#QBF 🦊 Rating: 3.0/5

PS: I'm sorry for the people who shelled out to sign up for Disney+ and then forked over an additional USD $30 to watch this...

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
