Obs, this is not a good sign and after seeing the movie, it's even a worse sign. Pierce Brosnan plays Louis XIV, who is determined to live forever, so he sends an expedition to bring home a mermaid. Meanwhile, his daughter (Kaya Scodelario) who's been hidden away in a convent, is brought to the Versailles (where the film was partially shot). This plot is absurd enough, but the sadly surface script takes the project into painfully bad territory. It's made even worse by the flat direction of Sean McNamara, who directed the embarrassing VA production The Field of Lost Shoes. Even the accomplished DP Conrad Hall couldn't manage to make the gorgeous palace look beautiful and what should be dazzling period costumes are a yawn. The simple predictability of the plot and earnest melodramatic slant of the production could appeal to children, who are more forgiving with their fantasy. Otherwise, it's a complete bust.… Expand

Although watchable, I was anxious for it to be over. Not really the performance I had expected from Pierce Brosnan. I found it to be poorly scripted and almost as if he was just reading from the script. The part was portrayed with a lackluster feel to it. Not at all impressed! The story line was interesting and the other main characters were convincing enough in their portrayals, however the overall choice of actors could have been far better. All in all, very disappointed with this flick!… Expand

We have sceneries (with mediocre CGI), costumes, extras, a decent cast, even the original Versailles and everything looks as expected, yet it isn’t eye-catching or intriguing. Fantasy needs to inspire and The King’s Daughter simply doesn’t.
