This film has nothing on the first Mulan film.

Obviously, it doesn't compare with the original Mulan, which is a cinematic masterpice. I enjoyed it for what it was, though. Mulan II is a mediocre yet highly entertaining film.

I don't know why or how Mulan II got made in the first place? I guess you could say they needed to hurry up with Mulan and Shang's time as longtime crushes and get them married but I found it shocking that before the wedding could begin Mulan had to do a task to help three girls who were princesses get married and I don't see how it helped. Throughout the whole movie during the journey all the three princesses did was start developing crushes on the soldiers and one of the girls even tries to flirt with one of the soldiers twice first when she dropped her shoe and then when the princesses royal carriage crashed and fell in the river and the soldier rescued her and I mean this was odd because the girl is engaged to be married and she should not be having a crush. I think this movie was made because to put the late Pat Morita in his final role as the voice of the Emperor and they gave Pat Morita a good final sendoff. But why they put Mark Moseley in the role of Mushu rather than Eddie Murphy was just awkward when they could've brought Eddie Murphy back or even put Alfonso Ribeiro in the role of Mushu. Another shocking thing about Mulan II is the soundtrack is featured with all female singers and I don't know they had Atomic Kitten ruin Like Other Girls and turn the song into a complete mess? But Hayley Westenra's song Here Beside Me is so beautiful and well done. I think Mulan II needed a bit more promotion but it still is a cool movie

Yeah, the only reason I even sort of liked it was because Mulan and Shang finally got married, and her 3 misfit friends from the army got girlfriends :) Otherwise the story seems to be written for young children who don't know better about how badly this story was written.
