Hey there! Have you caught wind of Millie Bobby Brown’s latest action in Netflix’s Damsel? Yep, our beloved Stranger Things’ star is taking on a whole new adventure, and let’s just say, she’s heating things up quite literally by battling a fire-breathing dragon. But, hold your horses before you dive right into this fantasy flick. The early birds who’ve caught the show aren’t singing much praise, leaving it with a lukewarm 58% on Rotten Tomatoes after 48 critic reviews. Tough crowd, right?
Now, I know what you’re thinking—should I even bother? The critics seem to think the movie’s strong female lead isn’t enough to save the day, hitting us with a “been there, done that” vibe. But hey, it’s not all doom and gloom. Some folks are actually digging the action-packed scenes. So, what’s a movie buff to do?
Before you nix your weekend Netflix plans, let me drop some must-watch alternatives that critics are loving. Imagine having a bad day and then finding out you can hop through multiple universes—sounds like a blast, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what happens in Everything Everywhere All At Once. This mind-bending film stole the show at the Oscars, racking up seven wins! It’s an out-of-this-world adventure that you’ve gotta see to believe.
Feeling more of a superhero vibe? Swing into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This movie isn’t just another sequel; it’s a visual spectacle breathing new life into animation. Critics everywhere are tossing out five-star reviews like confetti, so you know it’s a big deal.
And if you’re in the mood for some nostalgic, futuristic fun, why not dive into Ready Player One? Sure, it might not be Spielberg’s magnum opus, but it’s a blast for anyone who loves a good virtual reality treasure hunt. Pop culture references, video game easter eggs—you name it, this film’s got it.
So there you have it, friends. Whether you’re diving into multiverses, swinging with Spider-Man, or booting up a VR headset, there’s no shortage of epic adventures waiting for you on Netflix. And who knows? Maybe giving Damsel a shot might not be such a bad idea after all. Weekend movie marathon, anyone?
