Although far from a masterpiece this is a simple, straightforward and entertaining fantasy movie. The story is predictable to say the least but I do not really care. I rather have a good, solid but predictable story than one filled with the usual illogical twists that the Hollywood hacks are so good at coming up with. Fantasy is about magic, fantastic creatures and thus about special effectsver mais...

Moronic, misandry, mind numbing. The three M's of awfulness that is Damsel. No amount of quality acting, can save this Damsel in distress.

Overall this film was just meh. The cgi was good, but the writing pretty much ruined this film for me, it was just so boring and so predictable. The dialogue felt very scripted and just did not convince, As others have pointed out as well, [SPOILER] our damsel runs around screaming for the first part of the film and then suddenly turns into a warrior. Watch this if you don't care about the diver mais...

A disappointment. <em>'Damsel'</em> has the right ingredients but unfortunately fails to deliver. Millie Bobby Brown leads the cast in alright fashion, her performance in the lead role is serviceable. She is probably the only positive that I hold for this 2024 film sadly. My main negative is the special effects, which are quite distracting throughout - barely any of it comes across as convinver mais...

**Movie Review: Damsel (2024)** **Plot Overview:** "Damsel" is a fantasy film that subverts the classic 'damsel in distress' trope. Set in a medieval world, it follows Elodie, played by Millie Bobby Brown, who is tricked into a marriage with a prince only to find out she's to be sacrificed to a dragon as part of a centuries-old pact. The film takes a turn from fairy tale to survival as Elodie ver mais...

I totally DISAGREE with the first review by thorian93. Yes, it is a simple storyline. Typical if you must say but it is a story that is NOT complicated and hard to understand. The story is not tangled that you need to connect the dots from past, future and the now kind of movie. It's simple but super. CGI is amazing especially the dragon. Eat your heart out thorian93! This is by far the best moviever mais...

Damsel suffers from the same issues that plague movies of this kind, and no, I'm not talking about the "woke agenda" or "muh diversity". I'm talking about bad writing. Too much reverse "show, don't tell" and too many contrived scenes and one-liners. The CGI is good, the costumes and set designs are good, the overall plot is good, but the writing falters often. I get that this is a PG-13 moviver mais...

Today I enjoyed: Damsel. Damsel is a Netflix Original, that was released just a few days ago. Starring a strong cast with Millie Bobby Brown, Robin Wright, Angela Bassett and the voice of Shohreh Aghdashloo it follows the odyssey of Elodie. I am not going to spoil the plot for you, but I bet you can foresee most developments, dear reader. Overall I have mixed feelings. The story is nothing nver mais...
