Review of Barbarella (1968) by Xinrui C — 24 Mar 2014
Wow. It's really bad. I hoped it might be campy fun. It wasn't. The only things I can say in its defense are that Jane Fonda stays in character, which is amazing given what a crashing bore this is, and the visual aspects of the film are somewhat interesting--very 60s psychedelic with some experimental special effects for the time.
I did not finish it, and I skimmed over lots of it. I'm stunned to see 72% of critics like it, and 58% of fans like it. What does bother me is that some men actually fantasize about women in this way.
I wonder what they are smoking, and how many women they actually know?
