Critics Consensus

Joey King is a credible action star and Princess, but she deserves a better kingdom than this uneven vehicle that gets weighed down by a clunky script and shabby production values.

The Princess (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle King is a blast, with the fierce intensity of French actress Sara Forestier, whom she strongly resembles. And this movie is worthy of King’s exertions. Rated: 3/4 Jul 18, 2022 Full Review The Princess (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brent Simon AV Club A yawningly simplistic and roundly inconsequential action movie, The Princess lacks, on a narrative level, the certitude and clarity of purpose of its title character. Rated: D Jul 1, 2022 Full Review The Princess (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Amy Nicholson New York Times Doesn’t hark back to ye olde European fairy tales but rather to the feminist revenge thrillers of the 1970s: works of exploitation and wuxia cinema where warrior women stuck it to the man. With knives. Rated: B- Jul 1, 2022 Full Review The Princess (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rubén Rosario MiamiArtZine Kiet has crafted a violent yet strangely wholesome anomaly: a mindless but enjoyably junky East-meets-West hodgepodge that stokes our bloodlust while staying true to its storybook setting. Oct 2, 2023 Full Review The Princess (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies The Princess is a tongue-in-cheek, balls-to-the-walls, action extravaganza. Rated: 4/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review The Princess (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Daisy Leigh-Phippard Screen Queens It’s a story somewhat at the mercy of its budget, but one that celebrates sisterhood, ambition and centuries of fairy tales about women finding a way to escape their perils.

Michael M It’s a fun, entertaining movie. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Cristian s La historia es medio pelo, se nota que tiene poco presupuesto, hay muchas escenas que desafían la lógica, el final como que se queda corto y tiene un humor bastante particular.. Pero así y todo esta película entretiene de principio a fin y cumple como film de accion con creces (para decirlo mal y pronto se están cagando a palos desde que empieza hasta que termina). Buen elenco, en las escenas de accion y coreografías se nota que le pusieron dedicación. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Lanfranco C It is a fantasy too fantastic Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Brian M I loved this movie, it had a great story, sweet acting and as one of my friends would put it.... "how did you get your character in the movie?"That is in reference to the type of character I like to play in D&D.I would not mind a sequel to this one, it was very well written Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Darren B I really like the movie. The Princess as the kick-butt action hero is awesome. Normally I am bored with the medieval-fantasy trope, but having the princess doing the unexpected thing, and to save herself is really good. The little sister is a good actress too, and I'm sure she could become a bigger star one day, same for the young version of the Princess.And, normally I am not a fan of this kind of action movie, never been a fan of the Die Hard franchise, but this movie, Violent Night and Damsel are all awesome examples of this type of genre. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Phillip A Fun movie, really didnt know what to expect when I picked it as I had not heard of it but the action was excellent and unexpected, the story wasn't great but it was a lot of fun to watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
