La princesa

For me going into this movie I didn't have high expectations. Because I am a King fan I had to see this movie. She is just so beautiful to watch as an actress. That being said this was not the best movie she has been in. But for what it was (a Kill Bill style medieval times movie) it was not bad. It was just not great, a bit too serious, I think if they had thrown in a comedian it would have been a hit. So lots of blood but not too much that you could not enjoy this movie with the kids close by. The foul language also didn't match with the time frame there were aiming for. So when they said or did certain things a person would do or say today in this movie it was just not believable. A perfect example was in the beginning with the dislocation of her thumb, unbelievable. Now, if you were going into this movie expecting fantasy/adventure like I did, you will be let down. But IF you are a King fan then this movie was just ok. I personally will not see it again but I would recommend to another King fan IF they had nothing better to watch that is. Here's hoping her next movie will be a hit. Oh and I loved the villainess, she played her part well.

Currently I m playing a stealth video game (with rats, lot of rats) the second time which is against a backdrop of Middle Age France. So when I watched this movie I could find a lot of similarities between them. A princess hunted by soldiers within a castle. But this time it a bit different. It's kinda too-down in a tower.

Since I found this movie by surprise, I really had zero expectation for it. But then, I was totally caught by surprise. It's totally entertaining. Then another surprise: I found some familiar faces, namely Veronica Ngo and Olga Kurylenko. Mm, how I miss them both.

I would say it's definitely a good choice for a night of chilling martial action. Wow, girls can be badass if they got hot blood.

I don't understand the negative reviews here. If it was Crank, or some wild out action movie, it would be alright and rad, but because it's a young girl ass whooping men, It's wack and has no plot? The funny thing is, this does have a plot, even if it's a simple one, heck, the whole movie was shot in one location, what more do you expect.

A princess is under house arrest by a man who claims he is the rightful heir to the throne and wants to marry the princess. Princess refuses and is locked up! Unbeknownst to the man and his squad that the princess has undergone some military training and is a bad ass! Princess wakes up and has to 'jailbreak' and save her family from this evil guy. That's pretty much it. The rest of the movie takes us on a rollercoaster ride showing how the princess achieves this incredible feat.

Joey King was amazing from start to finish. She was so convincing and energetic. I seriously can't wait for a sequel with she's ruling and kicking more asses. Sure there were some, infact, lots of 'gimmie a break' moments but hey, this is a fictional movie about a young girl beating up old men, what do you expect? The hero must come out victorious, but not without a few injuries and boy, did this Princess get hurt over and over.

It's certainly a female empowering movie and one I would love my daughters to watch, if I ever have any. It's really that beautiful. Good work to every one on this project.

The movie takes place in an unspecified, vaguely medieval kingdom. The premise is straightforward. The king has arranged to marry off his daughter for political/dynastic reasons, but the princess is unwilling.

Then the fun begins.

It's one long escape/fight/rescue scene, with occasional flashbacks.

The Princess is no helpless damsel waiting for others to rescue her or her family. If you can't bear to see an action movie without a manly man saving the day and getting the girl in the end, move along. This isn't that.

The film is violent. There's blood, a body count, on-screen fatal wounds, and occasional gruesome deaths.

There's plenty of stuntwork and violations of the laws of physics, but if you're looking for a historical documentary or a physics simulation, this ain't it.

There are flashes of humor here and there.

I can see this becoming a cult classic. It's female warrior princess trope. We kept thinking of swamp castle in Monty Python and Shawn of the dead... I'd watch it again if I needed a laugh and a female power pick me up .
