Same!!😂
Me and my daughter was tears at the end how she struting so damn hard down the brick road with the dragon above her 😂😂😩😩
"She really thought she was serving" I almost choked!!!!!
I couldn't understand why they were trying to trick us with the happy romance at the beginning, as if we hadn't seen the trailer 😂
I cannot forgive Netflix for spoiling Damsel in its own little thumbnail. That twist - the prince throwing her to the dragon - if it had been a twist would have made me forgive even the shitty CGI.
They showed her chopping her hair with a knife but it definitely would not have resulted in that Millie Bobbie bob! lol
It is hilarious that yall had a problem with the stepmother getting along with the daughters. I was pleasantly surprised that the old evil stepmother troupe was not used.
I thought that elodies family was royal. They just were like broke royals.

“These names sound like bacteria 🦠 “ Lmao
I’m not being shady, but the part when Joseph says “the dragon is very smart And speaks perfectly English”, made me giggle 14:29

Yes. To quote a famous source, "Fire cannot burn a dragon."
Joseph’s face going from😀 to 😬 while Nick reads his spoiler. That’s the spoiler before the spoiler
They weren’t commoners. He’s “ Lord Bayford”. In the opening scene that’s their family keep they walk into and that’s their dinning hall. That’s why he’s sacrificing his daughter for their people. So Angela Basset has a reason to look so good, lol

Why does it matter if she is a commoner or a Lord’s daughter? They mix the blood at the ritual so the dragon thinks all the girls are Royal. Their social standing really doesn’t matter.

The reason the Elodie character feels pressure to ignore her doubts and go ahead is that the marriage is a political deal to safeguard her own townspeople. The ones she's trying to feed at the start. They are nobles, hence they have others relying on them.@@s.w.d4010
So it seems like many princesses were depicted in this movie: Snow White, with the bird, Cinderella, because they needed money, Ariel, because of the clam that she was standing in front of, Rapunzel, because of her long hair, brave, because her hair was red, tangled….
Joseph is looking very handsome recently with some stylish shirt choices.
All I know is that from the first time I heard it: I begged if I could ever reincarnate as a human : please give me the voice of Shohreh Aghdashloo. It is like silk over granite *IT IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS*
So im the only 1 who enjoyed the movie 😂

I’m new to Fishjelly so this request may already have been answered. I’d like your take on top ten thrillers (my fave genre) of the decade, or the year, basically genre suggestions
Ah man, just watched with my fam and I liked it! Go Elodie 😊❤
The first _Enola Holmes_ is pretty fun. You guys will probably like it.
Synopsis sounds like Ready or Not
I don’t know how this popped up on my feed, but I love it here!!!
On the stepmother thing, it honestly felt someone pulled a favor on Angela Bassett and got her on board, but she obviously can't be Millie's biological mother ;___; so they made her the stepmother instead.
Stop I choked on my tea when nick made that drake remark 😂😂
I don’t understand the whole wedding situation. Why do they need a fake wedding to do this? Why didn’t the Royal family just take 3 girls from the village, cut their hands, throw them down the cave, and call it a day? It’s not like the girls were in love with the Prince or had some deep emotional connection with him. They just met him a few hours before the wedding so this betrayal that the movie wanted us to feel did not work at all.

Dragon therapy !! 🐉
100% agree with everything you said! Angela's accent was SO distracting, I thought I was watching eyes wide shut with the mask moment, the heroin had no ark, and the best part was when she was in the cave but I felt like it kinda got cut short when she was shown the way out.
Great review as always. I can always count on your guys for saving all of us from watching bad boring movies lol.
I am sorry y’all didn’t get the check all the other reviewers got, but thank you for the honest review!😊
Hahaha I thought Floria looked a little special too 😂☠️
I LOVE when y’all hate a movie!! Joseph always says “I did NOT like this movie” hahahahaha I love it
they showed her cutting her hair 😅
I’m Ms Frankie Lineman 😂
It would be interesting if the first sacrifice was found alive in the cave and the third sacrifice comes the next day this way Bobby's Brown's character has someone to talk to. Only to see one or both of her knew found friends get killed by the dragon.
Thanks for a great review! As always ❤❤❤❤ But this is a movie I’m gonna miss!! 😂😂😂 I’m over Milly Bobby Green 😅
2:46 Watch Madea try to escape out of Joseph
You know it’s a disaster when Nick’s pull-quote opens with “The only…”
I usually enjoy dragon fantasy movies. However I think that I will pass on this one. Great review from you guys as always! By the way I saw "Drive Away Dolls" yesterday. I felt obligated to see this film since you guys reviewed it on my birthday. It wasn't perfect but I enjoyed it better than you guys.
With that cast list, so much talent. Big old bummer man. I might watch it anyway. Thanks for the update.
If it wasn't for you two I would not have made it through the review. Jeesh. P.S. Millie seems eerily older than her years.

They needed 3 sacrifices every génération. But there they had 4 girls since Élodie escaped
I liked the original film & premise in 1981's Dragonslayer.
Personally, I think Millie Bobby brown is picking age appropriate films for her and her fan base. I kind of look at her stuff as YA like books. It’s entertaining but I don’t expect anything exceptional. It was fine. I do hope as she ages up, her choices will grow with her.
Was the dragon revenging her slain eggs a commentary on the recent IVF embryo court rulings? 🤔

ngl i didn’t love this film but i cant deny millie bobby brown was serving for a sec…
While I wouldn't rewatch this, I thought it was a decent average fantasy movie. I was initially worried it would beat you over the head with how the main character needs no man and all that. But it pretty much didn't. Millie's character just survived on her own merits. Sure it was predictable but entertaining enough for what it is. I also found the CGI to be pretty good by streaming blockbuster standards. Nothing as glaringly bad as "The Flash" for example.
She cuts her wig perfectly…😒
Not that the characters are good but I felt bad for the prince lowkey
Just by the poster I know I won't like it. Plus I'm done with this actress 🤷🏾♂️

The movie was good but it could have been just a little longer

😂 so they had ice white teeth veneers back in medieval times did they??
You guys definitely should watch the Millie Bobby Brown amazing film Enola Holmes movie which is much better than Damsel. You guys rememberd Robin Wright was in the iconic classic film The Princess Bride which probably was a homage to her amazing role in that movie hints the reason why she agreed to do this.... I think the dragon come with them because she could help her people survive the next winter and they actually did show when Millie Bobby Brown character cutting her hair with a sword when she came back down to rescue her sister. You guys definitely wasn't paying attention because the dragon said she could smell their Royal Blood. At that ceremony Queen cuts her son and the girls hands to fuse the blood together to make it seem that they are related😂 lol.
I actually partially enjoyed the movie, but I was also bored halfway through the movie. I think they spent too much time on Elodie stuck in the caves. They should have developed the prince, he seemed to be remorseful and even tried explaining himself in the end. They should have explored his character more, his reasons for going along with the sacrifices and etc. There were honestly so many characters, but they did nothing with most of them. I also hate how they spoiled most of the movie in the trailer. They even showed the ending scene when she was walking with the dragon behind her after setting the castle on fire. Also, the dragons logic was stupid. Even if she was killing daughters from the different generations of the kings family, she would have still been killing innocent daughters. Also, I’m not sure how to feel about the ending, with the dragon going with Elodie to her kingdom, like what is stopping her from turning on you again? Nothing! The dragon is a killer, no matter how you try to spin the story. I empathize with her children getting murdered, but there is no excuse fot taking it out on innocent children, there is no justice in killing those that had nothing to do with her children’s deaths. The story itself was bit confusing. Why did the people have to stay in the dragon’s island? Why couldn’t they just share it with the dragon? They started a whole conflict for no reason. Overall, If I didn’t watch the trailer, I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more.
its agood film great story, well acted great twist so dont listen to these moaners its worthhte watch
AHHHHH HA HA HA!! I put this movie on my list…cause I said “What the hell is Ms Basset doing in this?” It was everything you said, and yeah the perfectly cut bob?????? The bad accents???? The over costuming of the bride (which peels away at each attack)???? Anyway just a silly movie, where people got paid, no need to put this on the IMDB page.
I'm curious, during your critiquing careers, have you ever met a movie y'all couldn't finish it was so bad?
That excessive screaming and grunting is so annoying.
This movie was great! I love a good Dragon movie. My favorites are Reign of Fire, Dragon Slayer, Age of Dragons, and now Damsel. The world buildimg is spectacular. Angel Bassett, Robin Wright, and Shohreh Aghdashloo crushed it...go Queens! Mille B.B. handled the heart stopping action. I will be watching this several times.
Very random but millie bobby brown kinda looks like that kid from Gladiator
A 'simpler' time when fire-breathing statues, were a "red flag" - but, just one hiccup too many after that! Sorry, I love "gruff talking Dragons for they're always magnificently done...but, this would make me root for the Dragon! Dark fantasy not dark enough☺
'I don't know who that's for besides...Drake' 😂😂😂😂😂 They need to stop trying to make Millie sexy, I know she's a legal adult but her face still looks like a child.
No dragon riding very disappointing
I liked the movie
they were not commoners. They were also royal but just from a poor kingdom. The store was the food stores for everyone in the kingdom. Also remember the people earlier leaving and floria questioning that but elodie saying there's nothing left there for them.
I actually liked that the stepmother wasn't the typical evil stepmother, but tbh Angela was too much of a queen to play a broke commoner lol they playing in her face. But low-key a cool version of the film of Angela and her daughters stuck in this ethical crisis is too much better than the movie lol agree that it was poorly written that none of the family had ANY suspicions about this damn kingdom lol
