I had the privilege of watching Dragonheart (1996) on big screen back then. It was an awesome experience. And wow how tech just developed so fast and CGI was far more advanced now. The dragon in Dragonheart would be so lame comparing to this Damsel's dragon. The setting also much more realistic and believable that you won't believe it's all just green screen.
Millie Bobby Brown delivered awesome performance, as princess Elodie who had to married a prince from kingdom far away from her homeland, so that her people would have a chance to survive the harsh winter. As the plot developed, when she has to survive from the terror all alone, Millie managed to make us care for her character. And in the end, I almost cried "DRACARYS!" just to cheer Millie!
Overall, Damsel was quite a pleasant surprise. It surpassed my expectation, especially the CGI parts. But, I refuse to believe that in the far cold north, even in a galaxy far far away, there would be a black woman who was chosen to be a queen. And that made my rating for this movie dropped 2 points from 9 to 7.
Refuse to be brainwashed 7/10.
