Rating between 6 & 7 - Not quite what I expected
Thanks to Smashbomb for letting me watch and review this movie. I was looking forward to seeing this movie and what they did with it, but it wasn't as great as I expected or hoped it would be.
The thing is this was supposed to be a remake of Mulan - a live-action version instead of the animated one, but a remake nonetheless and this movie was not Mulan. It was like they took the very basic storyline from the animated Mulan and then completely redid the movie into something totally different.
This movie was like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon crossed with the basic idea of Mulan. What my husband said and I agreed with him is that this movie is okay on its own by itself, but looking at it as a live-action remake of the animated Mulan it's not so great.
I liked the general idea of the movie, the special effects, and the different background for Mulan with some of the changes in the movie, but it just wasn't Mulan. I still prefer the animated version myself.

Robot cop kicks ass
The movie was a good cop flick. A cop that dies and get brought back as a robotic human to get revenge and kick ass. The murder scenes were great but, yet again the tried to remake it and make it better to only put a stain.

One of my favourites as child back then I always thought it was a movie till I got older but In my opinion it didn't matter to me as child I know the effects were on a TV budget compared to the remake version but it does have a certain. Charm

Not SCARY, but if you're a kid which I was when I watched the original, you'll probably sh*t your pants
A fun story
It's a remake so it will always be compared to the original - your own tastes will decide which you prefer (0 more)

Not bad showing it's age a little now but the effects weren't bad for the time. All very predictable and actually not many deaths in it. However it has a certain old school horror charm about it. Looks like the the original is the next horror classic to suffer a modern remake, due 2010!

"Growing up, I had a poster of the mid-nineties Tony Todd remake of Night of the Living Dead hanging on my bedroom wall that I had gotten it from the local video store when they were planning on tossing it. I love the remake, but it was the original George Romero black-and-white film that made me want to be a storyteller. It made me want to be a horror movie makeup artist. Making movies looked like fun! And looking back, aside from all that, the film has a racial and social component that I think elevated it beyond the typical horror film. And it was cool to see a Latino last name in the credits, quite frankly."
