Damsel (2024)

A noble young woman agrees to become a princess to save her people from starvation, but the trade is not exactly what it initially appeared to be.

'Damsel' is a fantasy film with teeth. It is far from being a masterpiece that offers a deep and multi-faceted meaning, the plot and its development are predictable and the message a bit too on-the-nose, and yet it is a source of genuine entertainment precisely for the cheap satisfaction and in addition, hearing Shohreh Aghdashloo's voice from the dragon's mouth is a real delight.

Director:  Juan Carlos Fresnadillo     

With: Millie Bobby Brown, Ray Winstone, Angela Bassett, Brooke Carter, Joely Richardson, Shohreh Aghdashloo

Rating: 7/10

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

Mourning the death of T'Challa, Wakanda must defend itself against a similar force, hidden in the depths of the ocean.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" is an action movie with superheroes from the Marvel family. It follows the story of Black Panther as it was written after the death of the original actor (Chadwick Boseman). Interesting effects, an earth-bound, not quite  monotonous fantasy, there is a need for filler films too.

Director:  Ryan Coogler   

With: Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Martin Freeman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tenoch Huerta

Rating: 6.7/10
