So you're going to immediately dislike one adaptation of a story just because you disliked an earlier adaptation? What a horrible way to think about movies.

the story of Mulan... not the Disney version... but the story in general.
If you had made that clear in the beginning, instead of making it sound like you hated Disney's Mulan, so you won't like any other version, then it would have made more sense.
You're making it sound like a separate live-action non-Disney version of a Disney film will be bad because you thought the Disney film was bad. And that is so not the case. Their version of
Robin Hood is not WDFA's finest outing (even if it is in my top 10 list of favorite DACs) but that doesn't mean that all versions of
Robin Hood suck. The Errol Flynn one is a classic, the Michael Praed/Jason Connery series is not to be missed, the Mel Brooks parody has its moments but is still better, and the new BBC series is good family fun.

Your words are like gold, Brendan.

ETA: Since the topic at hand is not as Disney related as we were led to believe (as the new movie is not related at all to Disney), could a mod move this thread to the Movies, Music, & TV forum?
