Welcome back, My Movievaures ! Today, we’re diving into the fantastical world of Damsel, a new Netflix release that promised excitement, adventure, and a dash of magic. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on this film, so let’s jump right in!

Damsel follows the journey of Princess Elodie, portrayed by the talented Millie Bobby Brown, as she embarks on a quest to save her kingdom from impending doom by accepting a marriage that will lead her to her own downfall . Faced with perilous challenges and unexpected allies, Elodie must summon her courage and wit to overcome the obstacles that stand in her way.

While Damsel certainly offers some entertainment value, it falls short of being a standout fantasy film. As a typical fantasy adventure, it serves its purpose of providing a night’s entertainment without requiring much thought. Despite my admiration for Millie Bobbie Brown, the film lacks strong CGI and compelling acting. However, I believe that not every movie needs to be extraordinary, and Damsel serves its purpose of passing the time

Originally scheduled to stream on Netflix in October 2023, Damsel faced delays due to the impact of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. It eventually premiered on March 8, 2024. Critical reception for Damsel has been mixed. While Millie Bobby Brown’s performance is praised, some critics note the film’s underpowered story and occasionally unconvincing effects. Despite its flaws, Damsel offers an entertaining escape into the world of fantasy.

In short, if you’re in the mood for a light-hearted adventure, Damsel could be a good option in the next couple of days. Until you forget about it and move to the next movie recommended by Netflix… This is all for today My Movievaures.
