Ok shew

The skinny dipping scene was the very first element of the movie that was not clearly and objectively worse than the original

At least it's at most 99% failure

I started to make a long post critiquing it, but I got just as bored talking about it as I did watching it, so I stopped after a few bullet points. There just isn't much to say. It's not a terrible movie. It's completely meh, and doesn't do anything worthwhile. There is no reason to watch it over the original animated one.

It is a movie that exists solely for the Chinese market, ironically. Every single factor of it was tailor made.

what did they think of it?

They pirated it a week before release, it got negative reviews, and then had an underwhelming box office performance.

Terrible movie.

On its own it might be salvageable as a C-, optimistically

Given the actual circumstances and it being a recreation of a classic?

But it's unrelated to the topic
The topic is about the movie itself. If you want to criticize the lead actress, it should be about something related to the movie. If you want to say she don't know how to act, fine
But her personal views have nothing to do with the movie

Anyway
I never watched a disney live action remake and I can never understand the appeal
After I played Final Fantasy VII, I looked forward to Advent Children a lot. And it delivered. Seeing characters from a video game you enjoyed being in a "real" movie was so impressive to me.
Pokemon, too. Detective Pikachu did a good job (but it can be better, of course)
There are also a lot more video games that can be turned into live action movies and it would be appealing to me (Assuming the movie won't suck, of course)

But Disney remakes are just...why? there is no reason. They are good as they are. making them "real" doesn't add anything

Hard af disagree

I will always prefer the originals, but remade Lion King has worth. Remade Beauty and the Beast has worth. Etc.

Remade Mulan is a fucking sham.

Mulan wasn't a remake of the classic. The director said that several times. He said they winked at and gave the fans a few things like Cricket. But it was not a remake.

On that note as a STAND ALONE movie it was not as bad as you all are exaggerating it to be.

Also need I remind you all of the horrors of Scars Song remade? Really any 120 seconds?

The Aladdin one was IMO better than the original and the original is my favourite classic animated Disney movie. Bold statement but it's how I feel.

But they never followed that formula. Jungle Book took a lot of inspiration but from the animated movie but was different enough that it could stand on its own.

the funny thing about this is you can legit agree with that and immediately followup with the movie used slave labor from the people they're genociding.

you end up with the same issue, only it's not the actress that's the concern, it's the entire movie.

also guiga/deepspraw is a china apologist who says they aren't committing genocide or slave labor or anything else like that, so don't even bother on that one.

Yea that's pretty much the actual problem. They just thought it was
  1. Take a classic Disney animated movie
  2. Make a Live Action version based on it
  3. Profit


They were after money and the quality control didn't exist.

I didn't hate it but my main problem was its utter joylessness.

I understand that you can't do Mushu in that setting but you can do a version of it, something - anything - to inject some worthwhile comic relief.
