Mulan (2020)
Not a remake, so don't expect it to be.
This is a good re-telling and re-imagining of the story of Mulan. It wasn't flawless, but it was still a good story that was made into a good movie.
While some negative reviews make valid points, I feel like too many of them are focused on the wrong things-that this is not a remake of the original Disney Mulan, and they are disappointed in that. There is nothing wrong in feeling that way, but it had been said from the beginning that this would be a different version of the story and not like the animated movie. However, it seems like people are still judging this version based on the old one.
If you can watch this movie with an open mind and not compare it to the old one I believe you will enjoy it, or at least enjoy it more (not everyone will, even when they aren't comparing the two, because as I said before- it is not perfect and not without flaws). But if you are expecting a remake then you will be sorely disappointed.
The Curse of Sleeping Beauty (2016)
Good until the end...
I was more than intrigued by this take on Sleeping Beauty, and it showed a lot of promise. It wasn't fancy or big budget, and the acting had some not-so-great moments, but I still highly enjoyed it. Until the end. It doesn't end, it just stops. It sets up for a sequel, but you can do that without having such an unsatisfying ending. And if no sequel is planned that makes it even worse. There is no resolution, no conclusion...it just stops. And leaves you angry. I liked it otherwise, but I just can't get past the end.
