Pandarific!!

Just some clarification for the sake of it, don't want you to get confused with the Disney version yeah? Decided to watch it today, i only heard about it ...i forgot how i heard about it already haha, but anyway i was really excited about it, after all, i LOVED the Disney version. The cinema was full of chinese people because well it's a mandrin show, and thank God for subtitles!! I had to tell myself at the beginning that i should not think of the Disney version and compare this with it. So, what can i say? i enjoyed the movie very much!! Although i was reading the subtitles, i managed to laugh at the jokes too! i get chinese jokes! nah, it's not your all american jokes kinda thing, these kinda jokes can only happen in chinese movies, don't ask me why. Note that i'm not talking about what's happening in the movie, well i'm afraid if i do i'll get carried away and give out all the spoilers. Sorry guys, i just can't be trusted with that much of power....lalalala.

But here's what i enjoyed, 1. the array of characters in the movie, they really a good combo of those, from the evil bad guy, not so evil bad guy, funny guys, damsels in distress, random white guy, Mulan (duh) she's the strong heroine la and the hot guy! 2. They didn't go the western style of intepreting love, meaning, scenes where there's a passionate kiss and then the characters sleep together, if they did this, i think it would have spoilt the whole movie, cause, well chinese people aren't western people. (not trying to be racist or classifying people) 3. I love mulan so i'm basically a fan of it by default.

There are of course some demerit areas such as, why didn't they show mulan's battle strategies a little more elaborately? And the singing part, well a bit fake how they magically had the strength to get up you know. Oh and i read somewhere that no one found out mulan was a girl till after the war, but in the movie, of course they found out before the war ended.

I think Mulan and the other princess and some servants are the only girls in the movie, the rest is full of guys. It is a war movie after all. For me the war scenes we good, i dunno, how are you supposed to comment on how good or bad a war scene is anyway? lol. Although, how the good guys horses always seem to be in perfectly good shape is hard to believe hehe. okok, this is not a really good review since i'm not actually telling anyone much about the movie, it's just that i want you to watch it for yourself and i don't want to spoil anything! Sorry people!
