Review of Barbie (2023) by I_Like_Planes — 27 Jul 2023

Finished the movie and I can say this is the most surprising movie of the year. Loved the movie. Greta really did a great job in balancing the emotional scenes as well as the comedic ones. I was surprised that there were some emotional scenes in the movie but hey not only were they there but they were well done.

The scene at the bus stop where Barbie looks at the old woman was just beautiful. The jokes in addition were well written and the scenes were not just filled with stupid jokes like how we saw in Thor L&T.

Was great to see a movie with jokes and fun considering how all the recent movies were all action and stuff. The cast was perfect. Margot Robbie as barbie was a incredible choice (that 4th wall break about her was well done and smart), Ryan Gosling as Ken was just.

...perfect. He and Simu Lui killed their role. Micheal Cera as Allan was great. He wasnt used too much, or too less but the perfect amount. The plot was well a bit thin but was well executed with good pacing, however the ending scene between barbie and the founder could be cut by a min or two.

In contrast the "Ken War" has to be one of the best comedic musical scenes hollywood has come out with. That was just incredible to watch in the big screen. The set was just beautiful. Well done and executed on all levels, good pacing and great jokes.

Good movie however I can see some people not liking it as this may not suit for everyone.
