Princess(now Hulu), Joey King officially transitions from Ramona Quimby to Beatrix Kid's Second Coming. Well, most – Ramona and VethersandKick boothStars can stir their ass with their best Plays the bride, sure, but in this case she is a medieval princess, spurring the prince of Cretanus at the altar, then kicking, beating, slashing, and beating the coup plot. Look at the systematic patriarchal social norms, here she comes.
Princess: Stream or skip.
Key point: Once upon a time in the castle of CGI, a young woman in her wedding dress woke up and she realized she was tied up. She was snarled, drugged, placed on her bed, and her pearls and braids fell behind her head. From now on, I will no longer rhyme. It is a crime against humanity to do such a thing. This is not a fairy tale. Anyway, it's a nightmare for a woman here only known as the Princess (King). Her father, for diplomatic reasons, forced her to marry a real slazebaggano, Julius (Dominic Cooper). She couldn't get over it, she spit out shit from him, and she is now in this predicament. Julius then deployed his vicious guards (who don't fight very well) (Note: it's not their official title) to take over the castle and take control of the kingdom. There are enough whites in it, not worshiping traditions as they used to. I am simplifying his reasoning. He says what sounds like a quarter inch away from modern right-wing extremism. This is pretty interesting as it reminds us that such an ideology was backwards even in the Middle Ages.
Anyway, when the cuffed princess is visited by two members of the Atrocious Guard, she unleashes the screams of bloody rebels, moves her thumbs to break the bondage, and spectacularly sees the two gallots. Show her ability by taking it out in any way. Defenestration of hatpins to the eyeballs and roundhouse kicks. It seems that many people are immediately underestimating a lot. It would be a shame if a nice dress, a princess, or someone else's blood covered it. Why did she not be like all the other princesses at all? She secretly trained with Lin (Veronica Ngo), a local warrior who learned some martial arts. The princess's mom, the queen (duh) knew it, but her father wouldn't, and he would certainly have been disapproved, and we were in the movie in just five minutes. There is still time for him to be disapproved, but frankly, if she didn't learn to beat, parry, dodge, and learn sword fighting, the king and his kingdom would be really deep crap. Will be. She is almost that only hope.
It's good that her outfit on her wedding day for the princess flattened her. The castle has many stairs that she has to run up and down while passing through the vicious guards and their miscellaneous and outstanding Bruisers. , People who appear here and there like bosses at the end of the video game level. She eventually finds boots and a sword, strips off her hem and fluffy sleeves, and uses corset straps to choke on an aggressive ruthless person. To avoid repeating all this, Lin finally arrives at the scene for help, and Julius' right-handed woman, Moira (Olga Kurylenko), says she can also fight like hell. is showing. 31} With a thorny whip. And go on it. My advice to those who disturb the princess is not to disturb the princess.

Performance worth seeing:The conversion of Joey King from an adorable child actor to a whupassologist already implies some pretty interesting things.
Memorable Dialogue:See what you say around the princess:
Anonymous member of the evil guards: Someone I need to tell you your location.
Princess: I've heardcalledbefore.
Gender and skin:None.
Our view:Princess movies are usually another kind of wish fulfillment – land a hanky prince, live a luxurious leisure life, and perhaps lie down on a horse. Defeat it. Princessis an empowerment parable that teaches women how to fight women in case they have to fight other women's fighters. Men don't quarrel much here. They are either a moody orf, an arrogant blowhard, or a king in the case of her father, or someone who just doesn't receive it. This movie is not a complex metaphor for gender politics. While playing the character that plays against the type, it relies heavily on the novelty of the star that plays against the type. The flashy-dressed princess gives up being docile and appropriate, and instead makes those who deserve it brutal, and we are entertained by it. Nobody thinks too much here, so it works.
Director Le-Van Kiet will be about 60/40 with choreography / flashy editing of the battle sequence. This is a decent ratio to what looks like a fairly limited budget. King is not afraid to get dirty and sweaty, puts himself in a fight like a game, and her efforts are shown through a fairly compelling and brave physical display. There are so many vicious guards to cut down and string, but Kiet gives you plenty of variation in the pieces and techniques of the set. My beef looks like a parody at the beginning of the movie, with a violent tone like Looney Tunes, but at the end it turns to Schmaltz's seriousness. Kiette and screenwriters Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton seem to have lost their nerves after a while and reached a saturation of 75% madness, but about 80 or 85 have exhilarating satire and edgy excess. I would have tilted the scale towards violence. But as it stands, its long series of assaults and batteries against overly arrogant men and their vulnerable genitals is still pretty fun to watch.
Our call:STREAMIT. The Princesssets the premise and knocks it down with a medium-strength spirit and courage.
