Barbie (2023) Movie Thread

Teaser trailer just released. Have no idea what to expect from this, Gerwig has been very hit and miss for me, but I love that teaser

Hah, looks great. Little Women was one of the best adaptations I've seen in a long time and Gerwig is generally brilliant so this should be a hoot. Looking forward to it.

I hated Lady Bird but loved Little Women. No idea what to expect from this one, but that teaser is fantastic.

Ken again!

It's either going to be amazing or pure trash.

New short trailer

I think it's going to be great. Gerwig is not playing this one straight

Pleasantly surprised with this movie. It has some nice humour and art direction and the two leads put in really good performances. Gets a bit cringe and preachy sometimes and I thought the daughter character was terribly written but a very solid popcorn film.

Greta Gerwig has made history as Barbie scored a $377m (£293m, A$560m) opening weekend around the world, making it the biggest debut ever for a film directed by a woman

I really enjoyed this, it wasn't high on the list but the rain and grey day tipped me over the edge today!

I seriously questioned my sanity but 2 hours nicely passed by, definitely not a kids film, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were great, and visually it's a treat. Some messaging is very overdone at times but overall an enjoyable watch.
