This seems to be mostly mothers and daughters going together, dressed up in pink, etc.

At least that is my observation.  So yeah, kids under 13 are going, but not so much by themselves, because the moms also want to see it.

Arfcom has become the target of a lot of leftist disinformation. I have not seen this movie, but reviewers I trust, such as Critical Drinker, Ben Shapiro and Clownfish TV, have all done reviews detailing the extreme man-hating feminism and woke indoctrination in this movie. The reviews in this thread downplaying the misandry are pretty much all what you would expect, recently made accounts with low post counts. In other words, leftist agents of disinformation.

Critical Drinker I can get behind, and his review is valid.

Shapiro is a fucking clown though, how anyone can take that guy seriously is beyond me.

He actually spent time in his review to find out how many women are on the Mattel board because the movie showed them all as men. The movie also showed Barbie somehow coming to life in the real world.....I think the whole idea of satire was kind of lost on him.

Okay, we made it. I'll do my best to write out an unbiased opinion.

Here's the short version.

They had it, right in their hands, headed for a touchdown......and they fumbled it.

The longer version.

So naturally they had to check their inclusion boxes, fat and trans Barbie.....gross, but whatever, you know it going in.

Two main themes are at play. Stereotyping, and absurdity, and both would be great if they actually stuck to them.

The set pieces and costumes were great. The inclusion of obscure and discontinued Barbies was funny. Like Alan....he's just Alan.

So Act 1 was hilarious (I thought). Sticking to the absurdity of the reality they are in was funny, and it very much reflected the vibe of the Dream House animated show. The Kens were written as goofballs, which is fine because they are literally accessories to Barbie, they've never held the spotlight in that world. Giving Ken an existential crisis made perfect sense and they really had room to run with it.

Act 2, when they get to the real world, was plagued with thematic inconsistency. If you want to stick to absurdity, do it. If you want to portray stereotyping, then do that too, and make sure they are both obvious.

Where they fucked up big time I think is that they portrayed stereotypical men, then immediately turned it into a serious issue within the movie, and took the absurdity right out. I think they were on the right track but then get very carried away and tried to turn it into a message, one that is no longer relevant.

They steered out of that skid heading into the final part of the movie, but at that point they've already committed and they have to run with it.

I thought it was great that Ken took "patriarchy" back to the Barbieland and used it to fuck things all up, I don't see an issue with that storyline as long as it wasn't as pointed, it felt extremely forced. There's a brief moment where Ken says "It doesn't feel good does it" and that is the dynamic they needed to play off, not all men being against all women all the time.

The Barbies then learning how to manipulate the Kens also wasn't out of place, that's just classic women's comedy in a million other films.

The closing of the movie, starting with the Ken War until the end was fine, they managed to get back on track a bit and stick to the tone the whole film should have been. Then you have the logical character growth and closure.

The Mattel board being completely inept was pretty funny, it showed that they weren't afraid to poke fun at themselves, and fit with the absurd theme perfectly.

Really I think they had everything they needed to make a great film, and they clogged up the middle of it by trying to make it into a message. I honestly think that at some point there will be a fan made edit that will be what this movie should have been right off the editing floor the first time. It's all there, they just didn't quite hit the mark.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a man hating film.....but I might label it Toxic Feminism.

I think that you should still go in knowing exactly what it is, it's not a kid's movie, and the trailers never made it look like one. Like I predicted, there's a lot of tongue in cheek quips and adult focused inside jokes.

The kids enjoyed it, because Barbie. My wife felt the same way I did, the beginning and end were good, the middle was all fucky and out of place.

Not in the least, I'm just pointing out that immediately painting anyone who doesn't agree with your(speaking generally) assessment of a particular thing or topic as a "liberal plant due to your post count and join date" is beyond retarded behavior.

I don't have an opinion on the movie but it's not likely to be as bad as some of the obviously triggered posters here are asserting.   If there's one thing you can bank on, fringe elements on both sides love to REEEEEEEEEE and get outraged about whatever the thing is this week.

But hey, you've made my point nicely.

Would appreciate it. The engineered outrage gets old. Heck, my wife dragged me to see the new Indiana Jones movie. I'd let GD and Youtube completely distort my understanding of it, and I like to think I'm more resistant to the propaganda. Nope.


GD cracks me up, because they preach good parenting....but then very loudly proclaim that they will shield their kids from anything they deem offensive, even if they haven't already screened it.

Guess what, your kid is going to grow up in a few years and be an adult that has to function on their own and be exposed to all kinds of crazy shit, best to help them on the journey and answer questions along the way so they have some kind of gauge for what is and isn't acceptable and prevent them from becoming so isolated in their world view that they avoid anything that might potentially be uncomfortable and form an opinion without any exposure to it.

I'm not terribly concerned about a PG13 movie, based on an IP of a children's toy, starring two of the best actors in the business.

I took the kids to a 60th birthday party last night for a family friend, and half the couples over 50 there were the result of divorce, breakup and infidelity.....I would gather that seeing that as normal behavior is probably more damaging to them than a movie we go to watch together.


It seems every other day there's a new Youtube channel or other media outlet that has discovered how lucrative the Conservative Outrage sphere can be, and many are not limited in the least by any sense of or desire for accuracy. Then, if one video or what not starts getting hits by spreading outrage, the others join in with copy-cat alternatives hoping to ride the wave.

Just like there are people who have discovered how lucrative the "dur hurp, you're just outraged because you're chldish" sphere...

Hollywood knows that good G movies are where the money is, but for some reason I can't fathom, they seem to intentionally keep trying to make R movies and pg-13 movies that are virtually R rated.

You unthinkingly (I hope so, you don't strike me as dumb) assumed the thread couldn't be anything *but* reactionary pearl clutching.

So you have been pearl-clutching at the idea that this thread is just reactionary.

It's Barbie, a toy for little girls. Mattel has an entire line based on the movie.
GI Joe wasn't marketed for kids either right?

Sighhhhhhhhh

Robocop
Terminator
Jurassic Park
Deadpool
Blade
Watchmen
Aliens
Batman (most of them)
Etc.

Tons of movies with HUGE merchandise selections for kids, games, comics, etc that are nothing but gore, violence and horror.

Even your GI Joe example, the movies are full of violence and you'd be a turd to take your 6 year old to see it. Did we have rage threads about Transformers and Mark Wahlberg chugging Budlight while his daughters boyfriend explains statutory rape laws?


Watch a Barbie preview and you'll realize it's not for 5 year olds. It's met for adults as the whole premise is the transition from childhood innocence to adulthood. Combined with a heavy emphasis to set design and costume that pays tribute to 50 years or barbie products.
Kinda need to be over 13 to appreciate any of that.

I point out how you're assuming that's what's going in the thread, and that you're clutching your pearls about what's goign on  in here ...

And you try and pull a J-turn away from that when it's been made obvious and now are trying for "but you're arguing with people who have seen the move."

Well, yes, I did disagree with the one guy who posted taht he hadn't been to the movie but his wife had and told him (stuff that wasn't true it turns out) and than showed my math on it. (Girthrockwell, right here) Oh ... and btw. Scroll up. Look at the thread title that should have been right in front of your face. Than maybe at the OP. Page search for ETA. Look for the strikethrough.

At this point I wonder why you are even still in this thread. Do you have any motivation to be here besides picking a fight?


That last bit is the first thing you've posted in a while that made a lick of sense.

Movie was never marketed for kids... So no idea what you are crying about.

It's fucking Barbie-it doesn't need to be marketed for kids.

It's been marketed for kids for what, 65 years now? The title is all the marketing for kids it needs.
