Review of Barbie (2023) by Agaren2341 — 21 Jul 2023
This is the only movie that I have ever left halfway through at a theater. Based on the trailers I was hopeful that this movie would be comedic. While it was full of jokes 95% of them dont land in the slighest.
(Not just for me, no one in the theater laughed at them.) I knew going into this film that it was going to try to push a message. I believe this is where the film untimately fails. A good film can convey its message through creative story telling.
Barbie instead decides to have the characters in the film directly tell you multiple times. Its almost like the writer of the film does not think people are intelligent enough to comprehend it otherwise.
I award this film 3 points though because the sets and costumes are extremely well designed. In addition Ryan Gosling does an excellent job portraying Ken even with a terrible script. The music is also excellent.
