It’s been a long time since I did a movie review, due to how busy I have been. Most times I start seeing a movie then I do not complete it and then when next I am about to see a movie, I try seeing another movie and still don’t complete it. So yesterday since the weekend was almost over, I decided to see a movie, and this time I promised myself I would finish it. I had no movie in mind so when I switched to my Netflix I just decided to see the Movie at the Top and that’s Damsel
Damsel, this movie belongs to the Fantasy/Adventure genre. At first, I had to see the trailer and honestly, it was superb to me. No spoiler intended, I know for sure that every character in this movie played their roles very well including the Dragon. It gives a Damsel in distress kind of setting and honestly, the storyline wasn’t new but then it was worth seeing.
The movie Damsel is more of a Damsel who was handed off as a bride to a kingdom in need of a bride. The main reason she was given off is because her town needed money. More of an exchange. A bride for money. There is more to this Kingdom in need of a bride as there is an ancestral tradition which has been going on.
The movie is about Millie Bobby Brown who played the role of Elodie and her connection with the Dragon which she was used as a sacrifice. Shockingly, the Dragon has a tragic past as well. Yes, the plot is very predictable but then towards the end it takes a twist.
CAST REVIEW
The cast of Elodie was very delightful to see. I have always been a fan of Millie Bobby Brown right from when she played Eleven in stranger things She is always in character and I love how she played the role of Elodie. A dutiful damsel who just obeyed her father and got married with zero idea about the royal ancestral tradition. The determination she had and how she was willing to create a relationship with the Dragon at the end. At one point, I was a bit confused if she could see the past or maybe it was the cave’s effect. Either way, she did well. I love the relationship she has with her stepmother as well. It takes the light off Fantasy evil stepmothers
I would have loved to say Elodie was my favorite character but then Queen Isabelle played by Robin Wright. She has acted in so many movies and even if she played the part of the villain, I find how she was able to carry herself all through the movie till the very end.
Elodie’s Father, Lord Bayford, is another exquisite character. The fact he found out what his daughter was going to be used for and didn’t have a choice at first, made me dislike him but then going into the cave of the dragon to save his daughter that was a brave thing to do.
The cast of the movie played their roles very well and I love the movie. Maybe I would have loved a whole different plot with more adventures but the crew did a great job regardless. I will highly recommend this movie to everyone. I will rate it an 8/10.
