Millie Bobby Brown’s latest adventure on Netflix Damsel, in which the Strange things’ The actor faces a fierce showdown with a dragon and is proving to be truly distraught after early reviews called him a flop. The new fantasy adventure film currently has 48 critics reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, totaling a score of less than 58%; audience reviews are not yet available as the film only started airing on March 8.
From the New York Times’ Alissa Wilkinson saying the new Netflix movie is “evidence that studios still don’t realize that a ‘strong female lead’ isn’t enough to make a good movie” to the Times’ Kevin Maher writing ” that all moments come without surprise, simply meeting expectations”, there is a resounding consensus that Damsel It’s not as compelling as it could be.
Of course, not everyone entirely agrees, with some praising it for its visually stunning action scenes. But why waste your weekend watching a crappy fantasy movie on the best streaming service when there are so many more top-rated movies to choose from? Here are three top-rated fantasy movies currently streaming on Netflix.
Everything everywhere and at the same time
At this time last year, Everything everywhere and at the same time surprised everyone by taking home seven Oscars. It was one of the biggest Oscar winners of 2023 and if you haven’t seen the movie A24 yet, this is your reminder that you should. This isn’t the first time we’ve recommended readers watch the multiverse movie, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. It’s a strange whirlwind of genres, where a stressed-out laundry worker (played by Michelle Yeoh) embarks on an adventure full of interdimensional travel. A must visit.
Available on Netflix in the US and Australia. For those in the UK, you can rent or buy it on Prime Video, Apple TV Plus and Sky.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
If you’re a regular TechRadar reader, you’ll know Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is one of the few films we’ve reviewed and given an impeccable five stars to, and we’re not alone in our high praise, as the film earned high scores from critics around the world. What stands out the most is the impressive animation style, which combines computer-generated images with hand-drawn 2D elements. It’s a landmark film that has sparked a resurgence of creativity across the animation space.
Available on Netflix in the US and UK, and Prime Video or Binge in Australia.
Ready player one
We do not qualify Ready player one very high among Steven Spielberg films ranked from best to worst (and compared to the two films mentioned above, it also doesn’t have the highest score among critics), but of all the fantasy films streaming on Netflix right now , is one of the most appreciated. It’s also easy to see why. A movie about a virtual reality world set in a futuristic society with lots of pop culture video game references? You are welcome. Major points if you watch it on the Apple Vision Pro this weekend!
