Damsel 2024

MediaMovie • 2024-03-15

Didn't know much about this movie and didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly entertained.

The movie received some harsh reviews on IMDB1, pretty much all of which don't understand what kind of movie this is. The title of one review2 is "If you expect any intillengence [sic] from the plot or the dragon, stay away." How can you take that seriously? If you are someone like IMDB reviewer "casperlei0324" who thinks that "intillengence" is a word... yes, stay away. From movies in general. You rated Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow a perfect 10/10, casperlei0324. Your opinion does not matter.

Instead, if you like medieval, fairy-tale fantasy movies, are able to suspend disbelief3, and like easy entertainment, go ahead and enjoy this little gem that isn't pretending to be more than it is. That alone is a rarity these days. I can't find much wrong with it and would normally rate it in the three to 3.5-star territory on my completely made-up and arbitrary movie rating scale, but I'm countering the general consensus, and awarding a full four stars, just out of spite! Take that, casperlei0324 and your "intillengence"!
