I saw this movie , and imma say this there were only teenagers and adults in my theater room 😬

@@Juicyxcouture ye

i wasnt quiet lol

Well you could tell that from the trailers, sex and jerkoff jokes

It was only quiet bc of how trash it was

I have created many wierd barbies. My friends sister did not appreciate it.

OKAYYYY HAHA. But why did the movie have to be so depressing? Definitely not for an 8 year old kid at all.

@@ReviewJunkee It's PG 13- preferably for teens

She's definitely getting her 3rd Oscar nomination for Best Leading Actress despite NOTHING about this movie being Oscar bait.

@@nikitamohan3390 Yeah , that's gotta mean something !

@@Llucius1 Well I think she deserves it even though I had some issues with the 2nd half of this movie like preachy messaging about women feeling oppressed by the patriarchy and stuff. I don't have any issues if a movie wants to talk about things like that but it could have been handled in a more subtle and tactful manner. But my bigger issue was this movie's writing and ending making it seem like Barbie's permanent life changing decision to become a human with a temporary life and sacrifice ALL HER FRIENDS and stuff was like no big deal! They could have explained that or done a better job with the ending but whatever. I do feel that even if some critics didn't love Barbie as a film, very few can argue that Margot did not work as Barbie. If she wasn't believable and convincing as stereotypical Barbie for even a second, the movie would NOT have done as well as it did. So I do feel she deserves an Oscar nomination for her performance in the film on merit alone. Not saying she deserves to win cuz there might be some indie actresses in critically acclaimed films playing for complex roles. But we'll see.

They weren’t from the Real World. They were the Agent Smiths of the Matrix that this whole movie is based on.

Idk, I felt the opposite. Will Ferrell was hilarious.

I feel like if you cut the Mattel executives, the mom and daughter, and the never went to the real world it wouldn't change the movie at all. There was a lot of weird unnecessary stuff in it.

I mean isn't this how rich people are? Out of touch from the real world?

I thought the movie was pretty good, except for America's lengthy speech near the end of the movie. Plus I don't really know the purpose of Michael Cera's character in the movie. nothing against these actors, but sometimes the writers Zigged when they should have Zagged.

Review embargo just lifted

Just double feature both. I'd recommend seeing Barbie first. Oppenheimer might leave you a bit depressed to really enjoy another movie right after lol

Don't take your kids or teens Highly not recommended

​@ChristianJayTheCTrain respectfully disagree, I saw barbie after oppenheimer and it was a good way to lighten the mood

There were so many little things like that. 👌

Yess it’s like a little easter eggs

In the entire movie there wasn’t a single line about men that wasn’t negative Imagine the roles reversed where men just make a movie about how terrible women are Misandry is so main stream it’s gross

@@nobodythenobody9779oh you mean literally any “sex romp” movie from the 70’s-90’s (and a fair amount of the 2000’s)? Like, a woman literally gets raped for laughs in revenge of the nerds and Seth McFarlane is still planning a remake of it today

I thought that was so sweet that they did not bother to tell that Ncuti's Ken was probably gay. He just said " i miss my friend Barbie" that's when you know Kens could be gay and only have platonic relatioships with barbies

Same didn’t care for it but all the marketing for it changed my mind can’t wait to see this and especially Oppenheimer

Because it's never gonna be a regular barbie kinda film, it was directed by greta gerwig and the film has a massive cast.

Discovering new, fun things is the best thing for everyone!

I used to decapitate my sister's Barbies when I was a kid

@@vinnbalor Gerwig as the director was the first thing that got me interested in it, after seeing Little Women and Lady Bird, I was certain she could do something interesting with Barbie as well.

I knew the girls were based on the BRATZ, but I didn’t realize they went so far as to actually give the girls the dolls’ names. That’s pretty awesome.

@@MiraBoo Same! I though they just inserted the 4 BRATZ in the trailer for lolz, but my friend and I were slapping each other’s knees like “Omgohhmggg!! They did NOT--! This is GOLD! GRETAAA!” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Omg what nice catch. We need another Bratz movie 😩

I agree about the themes! I cried because of its themes of identity, sense of self, and mental health.

Seeing how tough what is? College? It's tough for everyone, not just daughters. Females make up 60% of college students.

And women get preferential treatment in college . See how many "women only" programs there is for women , even though there are a majority women in colleges

@@erxan4163 that's not the experience she's having to be honest. Far from it.

@@erxan4163ok cool

The movie is a cold hard look at gender norms and how society views each gender. It correctly points out the way Kens run things as wrong, but it also shines a light on the Barbie’s too (I will never get over how the daughter asked where the Kens lived and it was kinda…brushed off…). When the Barbie’s “win”, the shot is in main Barbie’s unease, like she is thinking “why does this not feel right either?” Like the movie itself is looking at the audience and saying, “Hey, if you clapped and cheered here, then you missed the point.”

Honestly, they're pretty lucky that they managed to do a lot with the marketing before the actors strike happened. Which is more than most movies after this who can't do big promotion due to the strike. Margot's iconic outfit during the press tour was enough to convince people to watch it and it's great to see the movie gets a positive buzz to gain more hype

They were smart hiding half of the plot.

Yes, not only top notch actors. Also well known musicians included latin star karol g and a korean girl band

Blair witch marketing it the greatest

"If you hate Barbie this movie is for you" -One of the official trailers for this film

The Mattel people definitely didn't annoy me. At best, Will Ferrell made the scene entertaining enough, I just think they were a little bit wasted especially Ferrell. I do love how camp the Mattel scene is especially when the Mattel guys were chasing Barbie lol. Definitely a cartoony portrayal of Mattel but to be honest, that's exactly what i'd expected

I worked there, and it was a complete insult to how anything is done there. I'm absolutely amazed that Mattel approved this when it made all men complete and utter dolts. Which btw is run by men. Before you say it's satire, it's not satire when a movie makes ALL the men seem less than half wits. That phone you're using? That house you're in? That car you drive in?

​@@aaadesktop🙄

@@aaadesktopIt’s a comedy, of course it’s satirical.

​​@@aaadesktopts really funny how all the moids are now complaining about the treatment women have been getting in film for literally forever, isn't it? oh NOW you're sad because it's men who are props for the female protagonists...? guess what. hey. guess what. BOOHOO

A scene in The Nice Guys where Russell Crowe kicked Gosling in the balls and screams is way funnier than most comedy movies these days

HAHAHAHA

Ryan Gosling in life prompting a movie never disappoints. Gosling on tour for whatever film he's hyping is often ten times funnier than the movie being sold. The Numero Uno example of this is the Ryan Gosling-Harrison Ford roadshow when promoting the sequel to Blade Runner a few years back. Literally, click on any video of their press conferences or talk show appearances together and they are the greatest comedy duo ever. Blade Runner is a damn fine sci-fi drama with serious deep themes and fully realized scope of dystopian vision. However, the real money and juice is getting these two hilarious guys co-starring in a comedy film together. They clearly feed off and bring out the best from each other and the Blade Runner Sequel tour interplay between the two was their screen test and chemistry run-through dress rehearsal. They pass the audition, nailed the improv, got the gig. Make it happen boys. 🤙⚡😀

What comedy has he ever done that's funny?

​@@jonfreeman9682The Nice Guys

😂

I'm going to Hell for laughing so hard at that.

It actually released on the U.S first but exploded in Japan

Ok that was horrid but I still chuckled a little. So here take your f*cking upvote but know I'm conflicted given the context.

@coolnerdlll6053 same here. Thankfully it's just a 30 minute drive from Ann Arbor, MI ... no seriously, look it up.

Barbieland is depicted as a totalitarian society based on sex-based discrimination; and American women are eating that message up! Sad. When the veil is lifted, we see that supposedly marginalized ppl don't want equality, they want full power.

That male bashing is about showing that men are oppressive, toxic, aggressive or useless. Which is misandry. Never seen a more misandrist movie in my life. Incredible. You don’t fight misogyny with misandry. Equality is about mutual respect.

@@edgarbenjoseph3879I don’t think it’s misandry. Or at least it’s not trying to be. I saw this in moments of the movie. When Barbie seeing everyone, struggling, but happy. Men, and women, I felt that was the movie hint at the message it was trying to convey. That living is messy, regardless of who you are. When Ken interacts with the world for the first time, it’s with the toxic parts of the world that made him feel validated when he hadn’t been previously. It points out that the way the Kens ran things was wrong, but it also shined a light in the Barbies as well. The moment of the daughter asking where the Kens go at the end of the day being met with an “I don’t know…” really stuck with me. Also when the Barbies “win”, there is a shot where Barbie’s face is front and center on the screen with a conflicted feeling. Almost like she is thinking “Why does THIS not feel right either?”. I felt that scene was the movie itself going “Hey, audience. If you were clapping and cheering by at this moment too…then you missed the point.”

​@@niceguyofgames9490EXACTLY. I just don't understand the blind hatred people have for this movie. I just don't see it as misandrist at all. The movie clearly empathizes with men too. It's like we saw a completely different movie.

​@@edgarbenjoseph3879 If you haven't noticed, the kens are being portrayed as the good guys. When they made Kendom everyone had fun and was included. They talked about movies, did sports, played music etc. The 'patriarchy' was more enjoyable than tje fake ass matriarchy of the babries. The movie hammers that message home when Barbie, experiencing both, decides to go back to the real world and its 'patriarchy'

Ok

From my eyes, it seems like WB is trying to replicate The Lego Movie's success in turning a simple toy into a big exciting fun movie which is a lesson they learned

​@Tomcats73 and both have Will Ferrell in it, playing a business man.

​@@JoBloxJ27Honestly watching the trailer and Will Ferrel is just playing Mr Business from Lego Movie again in live action. I know the movie has a live action segment of it with him and the kid who played as his son when they played Lego.

Chris grew up playing with Barbie dolls😂

But which one will leave audiences with an idea of how to make a better world?

@pattheplanter - That’s a FIRE Question.. probably Barbie. The worst can’t be undone with Openhiemer.

Both of those descriptors apply to each movie.

The idea was ripped off from the Donald Glover SNL sketch. This writer apparently thought it would be funny as a full-length film lol

They should’ve gone full Team America style and made an Oppenheimer movie using Barbie dolls instead of people. Would’ve been glorious

The difference between the two is Shrek had adult jokes and Barbie is disrespectful to adults

Gerwig is the main reason why this movie worked. The same way Phil Lord and Christopher Miller made The Lego Movie worked. What could've been a cynical cash grab IP commercial (*cough The Emoji Movie *cough) turned into something extremely fun, creative and entertaining.

Wonka And Dune Is Tough Competition But I Hope Barbie Wins.

Double standard? Movies have demeaned women for decades. but anyways, did you even watch the movie? For real don't say what a movie is about before you see it. Ken only goes power hungry because Barbies made him feel weak. The movie aknowleges this, the Barbies caused it to happen. Barbie apologizes for it. And then the kens have an arc where they learn their true value, who they are, and that they don't need barbie. Its not demeaning at all, it reinforces their value by the end of the movie. They have no value to barbie or themselves at the beginning of the film but it's the opposite at the end, which is treated as a positive conclusion.

The “positive conclusion” was that the kens were completely second fiddle , and treated like children- basically a reverse patriarchy which is a completely counter intuitive message if you ask me. Isn’t feminism about equality? I’ll I just think they could have spread the same message (which is a good one) without being hypocritical and bashing men.

@@liavberman8226 I think that's kind of the point. The end of the movie is that kens get to be treated like women in the real world are treated. If you find that to be a bad ending, that's the point. It illustrates that the real world still has a lot of issues. And I will point out that kens have it better than women irl. They are ignored some, seen as incompetent, sure. But youll notice when kens took over, the Barbies became their servants and became objectified. When Barbies rule, they just ignore kens. Kens aren't objectified in this barbie led society at the end of the movie. They don't serve Barbies, they're encouraged to be their own people and find their self worth outside of their relationship with barbie. But yeah I think the intent of the movie is to call out people who will be up in arms about kens being treated poorly but have never been up in arms about real society. People who will criticize the misandry in the film but never the misogyny of any other film, people who never had an issue with the "push you around" song. If you realize the ending for kens isn't perfect, then you have to acknowledge our world isn't perfect either. I believe that's the point. Despite it not being perfect, it still is overall a positive ending though, the movie is sympathetic towards kens and provides them with a positive character arc of self realization and self confidence. It shows how patriarchy is harmful to both men and women, when the movie certainly did not have to show the other side of how patriarchy is harmful.

For telling the truth?

From a financial and career motive his change specifically happened so that he doesn’t jeopardize his own interests. It sucks but that’s the toll of self interest which is a necessary thing. Knowing his past “problem” (BvS rewrite) it also seems like his intentions is to not reap what he’s sown with the seeds being of boisterous film reviewing critiques, akin to Nostalgia Critic, go at his own creations. Especially now when perhaps at this point at the peak of his KZfaq career he has all eyes on him, it’s like Roger Ebert wanting to be a film writer and then downplays his criticisms because of fear that the things he had pointed out would come back to haunt him. I’m no telepath but the consistency in his views shifted specifically in the time frame when his personal project, Shelby Oaks, was just starting to be conceptualizad and had his treatment passing around. It looks and seems limited, confined, and while it looks like every other Chris review it definitely has a distinct appearance and it has bothered me for the last four years… The pressure on his family and his film have changed him for sure and that’s not a negative to his personal life. It shouldn’t be. I personally could not care for the Barbie movie and sure enough his review solidified my choice. It’s like listening to Chris Gore, only that I never took his film critique as serious and his speculations are funnier to mock at than at Jack Posobiek’s tweets. Tl;dr yea he has changed. Money/career interests comes first. Chris love you if you’re ever reading this. I’m no telepath and you can call me a clown 🤡.

Well...he did erased the "top 10 worst movies of the year" after all, can't annoy anyone

You might be new to movie reviews on KZfaq. Stuckmann has been reviewing films for over a decade and is a filmmaker in his own right. He might be showing up because he's an actual movie reviewer that a lot of people like to hear from. And I think his reviews could be seen as vague since he doesn't outwardly spoil the movie. That being said, I think he recommended the movie and that's usually what people listen to a movie review for. What's the use of a movie review if not to recommend a movie or not recommend it?

That's a self-defeating argument though... If AI can't replicate the intricacy of humanity, it will hit the uncanny valley harder than Barbie hitting the ground on day 2. Consumers will revolt, studios will flop, actors will be appreciated. If AI can replicate it perfectly, then you wouldn't even know the difference.

It wasn't that great. Will Ferrell was wasted. Instead of being a movie about the connection between dolls and little girls with meaning behind it. It was just a movie that took "jabs" at stuff and look at our satire. We're so clever

@@clickycal it was marketed as a kids and family movie. And that's the WB strategy and opening weekend. We well see how it stands. But... it's pretty doubtful. I can't imagine families taking their kids to see this movie multiple times. This is def an adult movie with some tired political tropes and elitist humor. Also they make movies like this to sell merch - Mattel is a real company and Barbie is a real IP. I don't think this is a particularly good movie, nor one that will stand the test of time. Hard to think someone is going to go back for seconds on this. Seems like its audience were hollywood insiders for the pat on the back among friends in the industry. But doubtful this speaks to real fans of Barbie, nor children. And likely not most of Middle America.

@@clickycal i kinda think this is condescending to women mostly... But that's just my thought. It seemed really cringey in places. And like... totally over the top and unaware of itself.

That will never happen in this woke climate.

I thought I was having deja Vu for a second 😂 read this on Jeremys video. Also life in the dream house was soooo good for a kids show. They need those writers

Life in the Dreamhouse is the perfect Barbie media! While I haven't seen it yet, I still wish the movie had gone that route. I really don't care about how Barbie and "The Real World" interact, I want to see over the top doll shenanigans and the silly concepts of how built in play mechanics in toy sets come across when we're looking at sentient dolls. I love the Dreamhouse gags like Ken "fixing the car" by changing out the D battery that he had to lug over because he's still doll sized. I guess people think that sort of humor is childish though.

The film has a meta reference throughout the whole thing a la Barbie in the Dreamhouse. Margot & Ryan character journey from Barbieland to The Real World also similar to Romy & Michelle because of their close worldview and how being surrounded by other people change their perspective on each other and their relationship dynamic. But of course you wouldn't know that because you haven't seen this film and just assumed that this is just woke feminist agenda and nothing else.
