Greta Gerwig’s BARBIE (2023)

[VinylGuy]

Some people like Barbie, while others are put off by the film's agenda. That is the summary of this thread.

Pff Jorge and I made very good comments on why we didn’t liked the movie.

Why do you hate latinos?

Please refer to yourself as Latinx now. The whites say so.

There's no agenda here. I only seek to provide recaps of threads.

Good things about this:
- Margot Robbie, obviously
- Ryan Gosling giving it his all
- The "traveling to/from Barbieland" sequences were fun
- Uhh

I really think this is an indefensibly bad movie, but it's not "anti man" or "dangerous" or whatever. It's completely nonsensical and gaudy but it's a fucking Barbie movie! The real problem to me is that it's deeply unfunny. I laughed once, at a Will Ferrell line delivery during that FUCKING INTERMINABLE scene where everyone just stands around talking shit out for what feels like 40 minutes. That line may have stopped me from walking out. Everything else is about on par with that "beach you off" joke from the first trailer. Really wish this had been good, because the people who hate it are being extremely annoying about it. 4/10

I usually challenge Jorge, but aside from actually enjoying the movie myself, I agree with everything else he said. If this was supposed to be man-hating why was Ryan Gosling and a Matchbox 20 song the best things in the movie?

I said I still enjoyed it, man.

But everything Jorge said is totally wrong. How could you enjoy the movie and agree with him????!!!

"indefensibly bad"

"I enjoyed it, man"

does not compute!!!!!

I really liked it.
The level of cringe this could've easily gone in the hands of a different director, cast and creative team are something to consider.
Fuck it I loved it, actually.

I said that I agreed with everything except I actually liked it, which negates it. You’re exuding Kenergy right now

People wanna talk about perfect castings, but Kate McKinnon as Weird Barbie is one of those ones that is so obvious after you see it
