What do the negative reviews say?

Here is a selection of the negative reviews from the top critics:

Too childish and shallow for adults, yet too brutal and gory for kids, this is one Damsel that really does need saving, after all. – Empire Magazine

If you can get past the clunky computer generated environments you may be moderately entertained by this story of a girl trying to survive the elements and the threat of a hungry dragon. – Observer

Millie Bobby Brown fights a heroic battle as a princess bride up against a digital dragon, but it’s not the damsel but the audience that will suffer distress from the nonstop, numbing repetition that turns this movie dull and dreary way too fast. – ABC News

It’s hard to imagine what anyone could get out of Damsel that isn’t already liberally covered by Brown’s other projects. – Independent UK

It’s rarely convincing, either in a script sense or a visual sense, and its hastily constructed sets and shoddy CGI work barely passes muster. – Detroit News

Of course women can slay dragons, but can we get another pass on the script before they head out to do battle? – IndieWire

Mostly… “Damsel” is evidence that studios still don’t realize that a “strong female lead” is not enough to make a movie good. – New York Times

There’s a credibility gap the size of Mount Dragon. – WSJ

Has its heart in the right place but little else, starting out competently and then slowly falling apart with each clumsy step along its “Game of Thrones”-lite path. – Th Daily Beast

Rather than being any particular person’s bright idea for a girlboss fantasy revenge caper, this lousy romp was obviously hatched by an algorithm, and might just as well have been directed by AI. – Daily Telegraph
