Well, unfortunately I was pretty disappointed 

 

I think there were some definite highlights (America, some of the supporting characters, the Billie scene, the last line), but I thought that more than half of the jokes just didn't work. A lot of the writing was awkward imo, and I think the audience agreed cause no one in the theater was laughing either. A bigger issue for me was pacing, as a ton of the transitions just felt super clunky. (Ex: The two characters walking at the end; how are they suddenly surrounded by white?!)

 

I also thought the messaging was pretty muddled. I thought it would be a huge challenge to wrangle a coherent feminist message in a Barbie film, but I had hope Greta could do it. But ultimately, I don't think it offered an interesting and coherent stance on anything really, as it presents America's (very basic) speech as some kind of revelation. But then it shifts to Ken's identity crisis  It just was not doing what I hoped it would.

 

It was def fun to look at, though!

Be careful. If you don’t love the movie you’ll get downvoted in here.

Do we think we could get:

 

Best Actress: Margot 

Best Actor: Ryan

Best Supporting Actress: America 

 

for the oscar’s?

Assuming the Oscar would happen *after* the strikes, I think Margot has the big chance for Best Actress and Greta for Best Director. But the rest? Ryan can kiss both Best Actor/Best Supporting Actor goodbye since Oppenheimer's Cillian and RDJ would be tough competition. Emily Blunt was amazing as supporting Actress as well. So high chance that Oppenheimer would sweep everything.

She really looked incredible with that pink cowgirl outfit. Ugh, the legs, the curves….

 

Will Ferrell annoying as always with his obnoxious “comedy” but meh. 
 

I didn’t expect that turn from Ken, the self drags from Mattel were hilarious and the soundtrack songs really worked with the scenes. Hearing the soundtrack first I was a bit worried but it works I’m the film. I love that the little synths from Dance the Night are like the “theme” throughout the film.

Same!  I was so disappointed with the soundtrack initially -- mainly due to how short the tracks are -- but the songs are clearly inspired by the actual film/scenes.  It's not just a bunch of random collection of songs.  After watching the movie, the soundtrack has been on repeat.  

 

OT:  I'm watching this movie again on Monday.

It kept the female perspective of feminism pretty simple (yet effective imo) because the more depth on the Ken side of things woild have made the movie far too muddled and complicated while trying to attack too many topics. Idk, I thought that perfect balance of the two made the movie fun and enjoyable for everyone, basically a living example that Barbie is for everyone and everyone can enjoy Barbie, the movie, the toy and the message.

This is it. I swear anyone complaining just needs to stop and think about the film more.

When Margot said "Ken, this is my house" 

[Cain]

I just remembered the gay that said ‘love thatttt’ when they enter the real world

 

The theatre cracked up at that one

You were right  Despite my critique being very mildly stated, some user still downvoted. And they didn't even quote and engage with my argument, so I'm not sure what they're even downvoting

I loved BJG’s take on this movie, if you have the time this is a pretty good listen, and is a decent left wing take on the movie.

750M WW by the end the second weekend. 

Mario did 693M in comparison.  Very likely the highest grossing movie of the year and the highest grossing WB movie ever.

mario wasnt a summer movie and its animation... they'll end up grossing around the same

[Gossip_Boy]

This’ll probably end up making up for the loss of Dolby show at major chains to Haunted Mansion.

 

It also shows how much Barbie is suffering from capacity issues. Too much demand, not enough seats.

[blackoutbritney]

750 M in a week is NUTS

Just saw this and thought it was one of the boldest, most creative big studio films I've ever seen. Greta brought her A game and really created something special. 

 

While I had a few qualms here and there, it's still an excellent film.

So I saw mission impossible last night (which was FUN) and then went to go see if I'd like Barbie on a second view (I have a movie pass) and I watched a few minutes. The narrator is Introducing the barbie and she's like and "there's Alan... He's just Alan. There's just one of him" the I'm like ugh and walked out and remembered how anti man this crap was. I dunno when the spice girls did feminism girl power thing they never had to man bash to make their points. It was fun and enjoyable. I liked that better. Glad I left.
