Review of Mulan

I'm not sure why I didn't love it as much as some people did, it just didn't quite get there for me. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy it, I really did. It's just not exactly the best Disney film.

A young girl, Mulan, is faced with her father having to defend his county and fight in the war. This is happening all over China, one man from each family would be sent to go to war. Mulan doesn't find this fair at all, her father had to serve in the war before and surely this time he would die helping the county and his family. So Mulan cuts her hair and puts her father’s armor on and rides off to join the army in his place. So she has to make sure that everyone thinks that she is a boy, and with the help of a small dragon she improves her sword fighting skills and becomes more like the man she is hoping to be seen as.

As the movie goes on, we are shown how brave and courageous the character is for facing he fears. There were no stand out voices but Eddie Murphy played his part to perfection and had some funny lines. His character made the movie a lot more entertaining to say the least.

It's a Disney movie, so everyone should see this. Well, unless you hate Disney movies.. Anyway, this is one for the whole family!
