Mulan (2020)

Some ratings seem unreal to me.

[10/10 · 5 September 2020]

I don't like how Disney is handling projects lately (ex. Star Wars trilogy) but I neither get the haters of this film. They do a frame-by-frame copy of the original you find it unoriginal, they spice it up a bit and you complain that it ruins the original! I loved the first Mulan and this is a slightly different version that is just as great! Yifei Liu is perfect as Mulan, so is the music and the cinematography. The pace of the film keeps you interested and hooked at all times (at least I was). The only things I would change is the somewhat lack of humor and the existence of the witch which I found unnecessary. Unlike other hero and Disney movies, the story of Mulan is centered 100% around the evolution of one protagonist and less around secondary characters or their dynamics. In this film, the lead actress did such an amazing job portraying Hua Mulan that it made the absence of other supporting characters like Mushu seem irrelative to me (and I love Mushu!). To conclude, this film is worth 8 stars but I gave it 10 to balance the unfair 1star reviews. P.S. Obviously it is not worth paying 30$ + subscription - I can't think of a movie that is when you can actually own it on a dvd after a few months and with less money.

Mona Lisa Smile (2003)

What an underrated film!

I just read the first review in the metacritic section and felt compelled to comment. Written in 2003, it starts: « the fight against traditionalism has long been won ».

Seriously???!!!!

What an underrated film, ahead of its time. Had it come out 15 years later, I m sure the response towards it would have been quite different..

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019)

Actually watch it, before reviewing!

Ignore the negative critics, this is art! Why do people need to write bad reviews when they ve only just watched 20minutes in??The story stays true to the original narrative, if only you bother to give it a chance and watch past the intro! Stop reviewing projects if you are not ready to follow them at least halfway through, if not till the end.

Little Women (1994)

The best music score!!
