After being disappointed by Disney's live action"Mulan", I started searching for other Mulan movies and came across this one. And I wasn't disappointed.

For starters, the costumes and scenes were more historically accurate. The script was well written and gave depth to the characters. This also gave the actors the ability to let their acting skills shine. The starting massacre scene gave the story its backdrop of situation the city faced.

The choice of using relatively unknown actor and actress to play Li Liang and Hua Mulan was good casting.

Overall, this movie is worth a 2nd watch.
