How Damsel's Rotten Tomatoes Score Compares To Millie Bobby Brown's Career

Millie Bobby Brown is a talented but young actor, meaning her filmography is still fairly limited at this early point in her promising career. Following her breakout as Eleven in Netflix's popular series Stranger Things, each season of which has been critically acclaimed, Brown branched out by starring in the Monsterverse franchise movies, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and its sequel Godzilla vs. Kong, to mixed responses from critics. She has also starred in and produced the Netflix mystery movies, Enola Holmes and its sequel Enola Holmes 2, which were both received well by critics.

Damsel continues Millie Bobby Brown's collaboration with Netflix and her creative involvement as an executive producer, but unlike Stranger Things and Enola Holmes, the fantasy film is not a hit among critics. While the Damsel reviews are praising Brown's performance and her commitment to the character, they are ultimately criticizing how her character is written, which makes the movie feel lifeless and hollow. With Damsel now streaming on Netflix, audiences can watch the movie and form their own opinions.
