I don't know why, but I really enjoyed and appreciated the dressing scene. The purposely focus on the corset busk, outer sleeves, and pomander and her waist. And then show Elodie using them with a purpose when she is running from the dragon: she sharpens the busk into a a knife, uses the sleeves as a bag to hold the glow worms as a net and a lantern, and uses the pomander to hold a glowing coal as a lantern as well. I just really like that little bit of attention to detail.
It makes sense that she removes layers from that clunky ass dress... But why on earth does she kept the damn corset??!! and she even still has makeup at the end 🤣🤣🤣
Me too. I seen so much wrong in this movie but ultimately i was pleasantly surprised. It told its story with some decent effects and wasn’t afraid to take itself seriously.
@@kokoro7996 that was 100% on purpose. The prince saving the princess? The step mother being evil? The dragon being defeated in a final battle for glory? All these tropes were purposefully flipped upside down and turned inside out to subvert expectations. Yeah the writing wasn't out of this world but I ended up having a fun time
Sure the writing is thin. But that is pretty much in every action movie, like you said. This was pretty amazing for what it was. On the same level as the most recent Tomb Raider movie. Definitely fun.
Tbh I enjoyed the movie. I'm probably the only one who shoulders this opinion, but I wish there's more of a dramatic struggle for the antagonist group towards the climax of the final act where instead of the dragon just breathing fire on the schmucks they run in terror and try to cling onto their lives to no avail. Sounds pretty dark to wish upon considering burning to death is already pain inducing enough, but to me the final note felt a little anti climatic in a weird ironic sense. Also I was hoping at the end, she rode the dragon while breathing heavy fire into the sunset with her sword drawn and a battle war cry, but that's just my inner child fantasies coming to light.
Nah you're right. I felt the same dearth of perfect vengeance too, like all the innocent women being hunted down by the dragon has been legit more intense and traumatizing to go through than what the main antagonists got, a little bit of playing or toying around before ultimately engulfing them in her fiery fury would have felt totally justified in a "couldn't have been a better end to their story" sense. But it rather went like what the Dragon described about the victim just before Elodie, "The last one was so quick to go." Or something like that lol.
I’ve seen a few reviews tearing the movie apart and really nitpicking everything but I enjoyed it for what it was. It would’ve been interesting if they did a Black Phone kind of rendition with some of the previous princesses in the cave talking to Elodie
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, it definitely would have made the movie better, I also thought they were going to have “Victoria not be just 1 princess but being a bunch of girls who took up the mantle of Victoria while trying to escape.
She, or rather the dragon, kills every man, woman and child in the castle. That does make the heroine like a certain white haired queen in Game of Thrones. I am not sure about the rest of the city but the dragon didn't seem to discriminating.
Also how was there a map to the exit drawn by one of the princesses if the only one who made it to that point died she couldn’t of made the map and if she did she would’ve warned the princesses it not safe
all the princess who made pass the cave of music have seen the the Cristals and the sun light, every single on of them made the conclusion that the sun light must mean exit and it's implied that some of them stuck around in the caves long enough to leave behind the map and many other clues. V was the only one who made it up there and the only one to find out the exit was a lie. and she die not being able to share that secret
Also, I see people complaining about the plot, but, it's an action movie. If the plot were too overcomplicated, it would drag the movie down and make it less interesting.
I mostly loved the movie. The ending where she walk heel to toe along the bridge was a bit much, but I watched this moving 3 times and the last 30 minutes 5 times. Reminded me of Die Hard.
To me the premise was actually hella interesting and I was looking forward to this movie...only to be disappointed, but I should have seen it coming. This movie suffer from the same problems of all modern movies and shows, they Tell instead of Showing. A lot of informations were given to us through exposition left and right. We didn't see Elodie's relationship with her family outside of her sister, we heard about it; we didn't see that her kingdom had issues, we were told about it; what Elodie was capable of and who she was as a character, except for a couple of details that got repeated over and over, was not really shown to us prior to her being thrown into the cave, and now suddenly we are to believe that she's athletic, extremely clever and more, when is the most convenient? Couldn't you just show it to us before, when she was at home, or when she was in the other kingdom? Ultimately, the movie was enjoyable, but it had so much potential that got wasted....at least they gave us mommy Aghdashloo as the voice of the Dragon. God, she's just such a talented actor!
This movie was my favorite for the year so far. That’s probably because the year only now started and all the movies I watched so far have been sooo bad
99,9% of movies are terrible. How this movie can be your favorite when there is Dune part 2, is beyond me. I'll never understand why Hollywood creates shit movies like this, but then I come across someone that likes the shit movies.. We're doomed.
@@OriginalPuro it’s weird how someone sees another person that likes something they did not like and takes it so personally. Get a life. It was never that serious. Ps I have not watched dune yet and even if I did like this more than dune why do you care
she meant the one who was sacrificed before her. Every generation 3 are sacrificed. That woman elodie saw in the start was thrown in the cave a few days before elodie, elodie was the second and at the end of the movie she saw another chineese girl who was getting married that was supposed to be sacrifice 3..@@user-cm8di3eb2t
Think she meant the princess Elody sees before the wedding. It's implied that she was princess 1 of 3 and got thrown into the pit that night. But the dragon did say "The last one ended quickly"
It's definitely more of an action movie than a story telling movie, but I still liked it. It got its points across, and I liked most of the characters. Though I did wish the Queen became the sacrifice at the end lol. Which, I guess she _did_ technically, but still. The acting did feel a little awkward at times, but it was okay for the most part. (Not counting Millie of course, she's great.) There were some things I didn't expect, so that was fun. Like Elodie just suddenly bolting it across that gap lol, and even the prince accepting his fate at the end. I almost felt sorry for him then. Almost, because like, he still went along with this for god knows how long. Come on buddy, get a spine. And a brain. The costumes were actually great too., and the movie in general was visually stunning.
I honestly enjoyed this movie which kind of surprised me. A bit predictable but everything else was well rounded enough to keep the movie going forward at a good pace. Though the ending felt a little rushed, I would've enjoyed a bit more information of the dragon(like her name, possibility of not being the last of her kind). More banter between Elodie and the dragon as well would've been cool. But I can accept it as just a simple straightforward fun action fantasy film.
It was a movie. That is how I feel about it. Not particularly good or bad, did a lot of technical stuff well, for example the effects, the tension, had a bit of set-up and pay-off. But the movie didn't have a heart and kinda brushed past a lot. Sometimes the dialogue felt stiff and the story is pretty much as predictable as it could be. Doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable, but also not so much that anything aside the look of it would stick with me.
I'm confused why you think the king deserves that death by fire, he didn't do or say literally anything, idk why he was even there the queen did everything
If I had a nickel for every time Millie Bobby Brown had to kill her dad in some Netflix show or movie, I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened twice.
Hi, I just wanted to say my name is Kevin and I'm such a huge fan of your channel, I love your videos, they kind of help me out when I go to watch a movie or a TV serious or whatever, and I like your review on damsel, and you have a good solid review. There's kind of some things you don't like about it but thanks for your review it was really well I'm going to watch it
Ok, this movies started off good but left me with more questions than answers... 1.- If supposedly the dragon kept to herself and it was the humans that started the violence... why would they go into the dragons lair in the first place if it was not a threath? And why of all the people the king had to be there? Why not send dragon slayers or offer a reward? 2.- According to other websites they had to offer 3 girl every 10 years (for 300 years!!!) Did they have to marry the prince or king several times every 10 years? did no one notice the missing or disappearance of princesses over the years? 3.- Of all the items she removed from that clunky ass dress... why on earth she kept the damn corset??!! 4.- If the slugs were magical that could cure anything... why not use them on her father?? 6.- Did she really just touch her father sword and suddenly knew how to use it?? is she a Disney-Jedi?? 7.- How does a dragon get burnt by it's own fire?? (all of my D&D freak friends lost their sh*t on this one) 🤣🤣 8.- At the end the dragon and Elodie killed more people than the royal family!! she practically turns into Dracarys levels of evil!! 9.- The real hero of the story in her makeup!! I don't know how this movie was supposed to be feminist when they portrayed women as evil, cruel, dumb, vain and racists!!
Because while humans can be great, humans can also be horrible people who may see others as a threat even if they aren't. And do horrible things to those others.
1. If humans knew there was a dragon wouldn't they be provoked to kill it as dragons are dangerous species? 2. It's implied that the fathers/mothers whoever knew they were giving away their daughters to be killed in exchange for money 3. Idk 4. Why not use the slugs on the other guys who were smashed to death? I'm pretty sure slugs can't heal open gaping wounds. 5. You forgot number five 6. It's weilding a sword, not a crossbow 7. Fair 8. She told some of them to leave and spared their lives. The ones who died more than likely weren't innocent 9. Srsly Lastly, feminism isn't when women are portrayed as perfect. The story is just more women led, it has nothing to do with 'feminism'
3- corsets in medieval times were the equivalent to bras in this day in age, makes sense she keeps it when running foe her life 7- our stomach acid will burn through our flesh if we are to ever encounter it, sure we don't spit it out but this is also a fantasy movie.
@@lucasg285 ok, I can disregard the corset because it's not one of those that cuts off breathing/circulation, so it seems. but that _"our stomach acid will burn through our flesh"_ Yet our stomachs are protected with a linning for the acid to do it's work, just like a dragon *SHOULD* be protected from it's own fire with hard, strong anti-fire scales, (Unless you are sick with acid reflux) and that dragon was maybe sick and weak and her scales were not enough to protect her from her own fire. I have friends that are D&D freaks and they lost it laughing at that scene. Even attacking a fire dragon with fire it's pointless.
I was talking to my best friend about this movie just now, and she said she hated it because she didn’t like “how they hyped it up that she was going to slay the dragon and then she didn’t do it”
Watched it on a whim. Loved it!! Great acting and costume especially since they show a practical aspect to those accessories. Story was okay with some weak bits but overall good. 7.5/10
I've seen this film criticised for lack of worldbuilding, but here's the thing... it's a standalone movie. It's not part of a big franchise, not a serialised TV show. There's only so much you can do in less than 2 hours, and I think they used that time efficiently. Act 1 and 3 were admittedly weak, but Act 2 (the actual adventure itself) was phenomenal. As it stands, it's just a simple little fable with honestly a decent message (it's so rare by the way to find anti-monarchy fantasy in movies). And I don't know about you, but when I read fables or fairy tales or folk tales I don't find myself saying, "yeah but they didn't explain the agrarian economy of the kingdom!"
there is a problem with this movie, it is said in the movie that the dragon smelled his blood on his wound, why didn't he heal it with an insect so that she wouldn't smell and he actually let it be that she had a wound on his hand. nonsense
The 61% sounds appropriate. It was a solid 5/10 movie. Very pretty graphically. I didn't see anything wrong with the CGI. Although the dragonfire looked more like dragon-napalm with how liquid it flowed once it hit the floor like lava. Which is weird. I understood to suspend a lot of disbelief from the moment the opening scene played out. Even though the promotional posters say "This is not a fairytale." It is actually to be treated as one. Cinderella, Snow White etc. all have glaring plotholes and characters doing dumb shit, or characters that are unexplained to be missing but since it's a fairytale you're supposed to not take it literally and to not expect much verisimilitude.
I like this review. I'm so tired of men shitting on media made for women. Just let us enjoy something without some rando screaming that we're woke for existing in media lol.
I enjoyed this movie a lot and the dragon was great, i loved the twist. and yer some of the deaths were brutal as hell, almost GoT level but i liked that they kept the ending simple and quick.
OMFG same thoughts!! I really enjoyed it despite its flaws so I was baffled why people are so serious and rips the sht out of it like TheCriticalDrinker with his video 🤷🏻♂️ entertaining films are sometimes enough...
I really like this movie. It's not any cinematic masterpiece, but I had great time watching :). For some reason I found very distracting that Elodie's manicure changes in every scene though.
the ending you outlined wouldve been leagues leagues better than what we got. i have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but for me the dragon is why i watched it and was the only reason i stayed through. i dont actually like millie too much and elodie was kind of irritating at times. i had a lot of questions, but if i keep brain off and accept it as "just a fairy tale story" then its fine. the dragon being a cryptid is fabulous though.
I thought it was really good with a great-looking dragon design. Rotten Tomatoes critics were too tough, but TH-cam critics were over the top on trashing it with a herd mentality.
I saw this comment, didn't get it, left the video and then had it click ten seconds later and had to come back and say it made me smile lol I can still hear the dragon say "Little Bird"
I don’t like this I hate it what wrong with the world today we don’t need men it’s woke and I’m just sick of it. They ruined so much stuff over this whole we don’t need men thing and I’m really getting tired of it and I thought because she had a blue platform that she would actually do something with it. Nope she did something that everyone else is doing. I’m really disappointed in Millie, because I really thought she would help with this problem instead of doing whatever everyone else is doing nope she just did exactly make the problem worst even more you can’t win this is so sad. I’m so done with this world today. It’s just awful. It’s all sad and depressing and nothing happy and I’m I’m just really really sick of it. Thank you for the video. I Love you. Please make more videos have a great day
I think you misinterpreted the film A film about a female lead without male characters doesn't indicate you don't need men at all Millies fathers in the movie shows up to help her escape later , so he definitely does help her And also leaves the sword she uses to injure the dragon enough to let her listen to reason So whilst it isn't shouted from the rooftops Millie is put in that situation by an evil woman ( evil mother in law) And saved by the actions of her father Everything that happens in the climax of the movie is because of her father deciding to come back for her So I don't get why you're saying its anti men Unless you mean simply because they didn't have a stereotypical good Prince The Prince wasn't evil but lacked a backbone
Literally, who asked? I don't know why people like you that buy into this idea of "wokeness" keep commenting this nonsense on SP's videos when he's never even expressed a similar opinion in them before. Stop trying to turn everything into a political argument and form a real opinion.
@@p1nkae but no one asked for it. So don’t bring no other nonsense. You are literally saying the movie should not exist because no one asked for it which is a dumb that people like to say a lot and I don’t get it. You can use that logic for majority of shows and movies people like. No one asked for Star Wars when it first came out.
I don't know why, but I really enjoyed and appreciated the dressing scene. The purposely focus on the corset busk, outer sleeves, and pomander and her waist. And then show Elodie using them with a purpose when she is running from the dragon: she sharpens the busk into a a knife, uses the sleeves as a bag to hold the glow worms as a net and a lantern, and uses the pomander to hold a glowing coal as a lantern as well. I just really like that little bit of attention to detail.
Welp, seems like you know why lol. And I couldn't agree more
It makes sense that she removes layers from that clunky ass dress... But why on earth does she kept the damn corset??!! and she even still has makeup at the end 🤣🤣🤣
@@alejandropacheco7832corsets literally have the same damn function as a bra, it's for SUPPORT
@@serenitymoon825I guess! At the end it's just a cheesy popcorn flick and not meant to be taken seriously at all.... like that Barbie movie!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@alejandropacheco7832 She uses the corset to hide her dager plus it protected her similar to armour.

Me too. I seen so much wrong in this movie but ultimately i was pleasantly surprised. It told its story with some decent effects and wasn’t afraid to take itself seriously.
The costuming in this movie was actually done so insanity good
they could have tone down Elodie's makeup at the end... it was distracting
The person that I liked the most was the step mother
the step-mom is actually the best character frfr
It’s nice to see a fairytale type story where the stepmother is a good guy for once.
@@kokoro7996 that was 100% on purpose. The prince saving the princess? The step mother being evil? The dragon being defeated in a final battle for glory?

There's only so much you can do in less than 2 hours, and I think they used that time efficiently. Act 1 and 3 were admittedly weak, but Act 2 (the actual adventure itself) was phenomenal. As it stands, it's just a simple little fable with honestly a decent message (it's so rare by the way to find anti-monarchy fantasy in movies). And I don't know about you, but when I read fables or fairy tales or folk tales I don't find myself saying, "yeah but they didn't explain the agrarian economy of the kingdom!"
there is a problem with this movie, it is said in the movie that the dragon smelled his blood on his wound, why didn't he heal it with an insect so that she wouldn't smell and he actually let it be that she had a wound on his hand. nonsense
My family and I just watched this movie on Friday. Loved it💖💖
I love thee for the thumbnail description 💯
The 61% sounds appropriate. It was a solid 5/10 movie.
Very pretty graphically. I didn't see anything wrong with the CGI. Although the dragonfire looked more like dragon-napalm with how liquid it flowed once it hit the floor like lava. Which is weird. I understood to suspend a lot of disbelief from the moment the opening scene played out.
Even though the promotional posters say "This is not a fairytale." It is actually to be treated as one. Cinderella, Snow White etc. all have glaring plotholes and characters doing dumb shit, or characters that are unexplained to be missing but since it's a fairytale you're supposed to not take it literally and to not expect much verisimilitude.
I like this review. I'm so tired of men shitting on media made for women. Just let us enjoy something without some rando screaming that we're woke for existing in media lol.
I enjoyed this movie a lot and the dragon was great, i loved the twist. and yer some of the deaths were brutal as hell, almost GoT level but i liked that they kept the ending simple and quick.
OMFG same thoughts!! I really enjoyed it despite its flaws so I was baffled why people are so serious and rips the sht out of it like TheCriticalDrinker with his video 🤷🏻♂️ entertaining films are sometimes enough...
I never watch movies on netflix and I watched it on a whim. I really did enjoy it.
This sounds like a good movie, I think I might watch it😁
I thought it was a good time but will I rewatch it? Probably not, it just doesn’t have rewatch ability.
I just like the soundtrack.
It's progress however
They got the dragon right. Four legs, two wings.
Nice review!
I really like this movie. It's not any cinematic masterpiece, but I had great time watching :). For some reason I found very distracting that Elodie's manicure changes in every scene though.
I love this movie :3
Amazing❤
I've just been watching the movie on Netflix and Damsel is great. Milly Bobby Brown was good in it and she has potential to be a future Lara Croft.
the ending you outlined wouldve been leagues leagues better than what we got. i have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but for me the dragon is why i watched it and was the only reason i stayed through. i dont actually like millie too much and elodie was kind of irritating at times. i had a lot of questions, but if i keep brain off and accept it as "just a fairy tale story" then its fine. the dragon being a cryptid is fabulous though.
i wanna say i liked it
I thought it was really good with a great-looking dragon design. Rotten Tomatoes critics were too tough, but TH-cam critics were over the top on trashing it with a herd mentality.
The main problem that this movie had was its trailer. The trailer completely ruined the film for me which is annoying
The dirtier the better
Ending sucked, so movie sucked
🦜
I saw this comment, didn't get it, left the video and then had it click ten seconds later and had to come back and say it made me smile lol
I can still hear the dragon say "Little Bird"
@@luckyowl6432 Yesnt
Kind of ridiculous,
unrealistic.
Wow a movie with a dragon is unrealistic ?? You sound so stupid.
I don’t like this I hate it what wrong with the world today we don’t need men it’s woke and I’m just sick of it. They ruined so much stuff over this whole we don’t need men thing and I’m really getting tired of it and I thought because she had a blue platform that she would actually do something with it. Nope she did something that everyone else is doing. I’m really disappointed in Millie, because I really thought she would help with this problem instead of doing whatever everyone else is doing nope she just did exactly make the problem worst even more you can’t win this is so sad. I’m so done with this world today. It’s just awful. It’s all sad and depressing and nothing happy and I’m I’m just really really sick of it. Thank you for the video. I Love you. Please make more videos have a great day
I think you misinterpreted the film
A film about a female lead without male characters doesn't indicate you don't need men at all
Millies fathers in the movie shows up to help her escape later , so he definitely does help her
And also leaves the sword she uses to injure the dragon enough to let her listen to reason
So whilst it isn't shouted from the rooftops
Millie is put in that situation by an evil woman ( evil mother in law)
And saved by the actions of her father
Everything that happens in the climax of the movie is because of her father deciding to come back for her
So I don't get why you're saying its anti men
Unless you mean simply because they didn't have a stereotypical good Prince
The Prince wasn't evil but lacked a backbone
@@shippendales8543 no I didn’t I think you’re read to much into this film it’s a terrible film
@@Shaylovespopeye ok Karen
@@bennie791 no I’m not your just ahole
Literally, who asked? I don't know why people like you that buy into this idea of "wokeness" keep commenting this nonsense on SP's videos when he's never even expressed a similar opinion in them before. Stop trying to turn everything into a political argument and form a real opinion.
Its wierd like no one asked for this movie why does it exist
Uh you do know that people make movies for creativity right? Not because someone asked for it
So you can only do something because someone asked for it? Who asked for stranger things. Use your brain man
@@user-km4lo8zz6z stranger things was interesting with a great plot, this is just a random movie with a hudge budget that literally no one needed
@@p1nkae but no one asked for it. So don’t bring no other nonsense. You are literally saying the movie should not exist because no one asked for it which is a dumb that people like to say a lot and I don’t get it. You can use that logic for majority of shows and movies people like. No one asked for Star Wars when it first came out.
@@user-km4lo8zz6z but star wars was good and interesting. This isnt 😭
A terrible movie and terrible plot with mediocre actors.
As to be expected of a female led movie in 2024
