Firstly, do not think of this movie as a remake of the Disney cartoon movie. It is a retelling of the Mulan legend. Once you get to this realization, the movie is actually quite good. A few details were glossed over and some of the characters could have used more development, but the moral, message, tone, and adventure is still all there. And some of the choices made were definite improvements to the version of the tale we are familiar with.

A retelling NOT a remake
Nothing New
Very typical Chinese film. Nothing new, except, it was made by Disney. The Chinese have used women as action heroines for decades. So, the feminist, female empowerment thing is an old theme for them. The Ming vs Ching thing is as old as the actual thing. They even used Donnie Yen and Jet Li. All this would be very familiar to Chinese audiences. I only hope it doesn't convince young American girls to try to run across rooftops. A movie influencing dumb kids is nothing new.
They shouldn't have made this
Honestly there's nothing to say. It's kinda cringe and weird, although the action is sort of exciting. I would stay away from Mulan. There's no soul to it, so just watch the movie Soul.
