The titular damsel isn't in distress, instead, she's there to save the day. It's a classic fantasy/fairy tale setup with reversed gender roles. That's fine and all, but this is little more than Brown fighting off a rather dull dragon for more than 90 minutes. The film felt pretty lazy as if the setup would carry it all the way through.
Brown isn't bad, but the CG is bland and the sets are uninspired. For a fantasy/adventure, that's inexcusable. The rest of the cast isn't great, the dragon is unimpressive and the finale is cheesy. The action scenes are decent though and the pacing is pleasant enough, but I needed more to feel truly invested.
