I’m not sure if there is a bigger platform here on Lemmy discussing new releases, but Barbie was awesome. I had a smile on my face pretty much the entire time. The kens were hilarious. I thought it was a bit heavy handed at times but as a male, I’m sure it’s just a bit of ignorance on my part.

Would love to hear what everyone’s thinking!

    I hated the entire film. Usually I can understand why people like something even when I don’t but this time it just feels incomprehensible to me. I mean like what you like, it just feels like I watched a different movie than everyone else did.

      I didn’t mind it but not gushing over it like some are.

      Think it was a bit disjointed in parts and didn’t need the mother daughter arc. Definitely not a movie for kids although the bright colours and familiarity of characters would be attention grabbing. Thematically quite adult with some cool little philosophical-y bits thrown in.

      On the plus side it was fun, self aware but not taking itself so seriously while getting a positive message across.

      Not horrible, not great was my take. 7/10.
