Barbie, the movie, is empowering. The acting is great, the message is positive. Loved it!
Besides the excellent Margo Robbie playing her role to a tee, the storyline follows the evolution of the characters as they progress from stereotypes to an increased understanding of them, morality, and justice in society. The music is fun, as is the dancing and set scenes. My whole family (wife, daughter, granddaughters, and I) loved it!
I loved the set design and the honor of the creator- Ruth Handler and her story. So many great messages in the movie. Everyone has their perception on what they understood- for whatever it was- its magic, beauty and art!
Boring woke movie, not for children, too dumb for anyone older. A waste of money and time.
I went to this movie thinking it was an attack on men and filled with Woke innuendo, but was pleasantly surprised. I am betting the "losers" who give this one star have not even seen the movie or are super male oriented, afraid of women, and why the heck would you go to a chick flick with this attitude dudes??? Haven't you got better things to do if you didn't like where it was going???Seriously sad! That said, this is not a great movie, but I was never bored, had some funny moments, made you think, and really what it shows is that men still run the world ( sorry ladies ). Both Ken and Barbie ( who represent us: male and female ) are pawns manipulated by the corporate world. I thought the beginning was clever, but I think the ending could have had a much better idea. Definitely NOT a kids movie.
It was a fun adventure! The story line wasn’t boring (to me.) It was great to have Barbie in the leading role, not Ken.
Great fun and heart, laughed out loud and cried! Going for a second time tonight with my husband who loved it the first time as well.
Loved it, looking forward to watching it again.
Silly, nonsense, I really wished at least it wouldn’t end by going a toy to Gynecologist! 🤮
I get a big kick out of the theater of it all. The cast is just great and the script is….smart. I’m almost 50 and have watched Barbie evolve over the years. Girls these days go straight from American Girl dolls to video games, so my perspective is sort of a historical one. The dry humor and cultural innuendo was spot on. Oh to be a fly on the wall in the writing room! The wit! Children will likely get bored and lost because it’s just way over their head. The violent part of the first scene was unsettling and off putting. It wasn’t comedic to me, not sure maybe because I’m a mom. It’s now an unwanted memory that I’d like to scrub from my brain. But I guess it did the job of grabbing my attention and creating a sharp contrast for the scenes that follow. I really did enjoy it and my friends agree that when we watch it again we’ll likely discover dialogue that we missed the first time around. Also, any man who feels the least bit threatened by this story needs a serious heart check. Maybe get curious instead of defensive.
