Give me the lowdown on the Barbie movie and tell me what to expect and if it's any good. If you watch theQuartering, Critical Drinker, or Ben Shapiro then kindly frick off.

nobody on /teevee/ has watched it yet
If you're so poor that a ticket is a big purchase then why don't you just pirate the movie, OP? I don't even want to watch it for free.
just go watch it and form your own opinion, holy shit
I'll never watch it so I don't have to speak to any of you about it. I don't know who any of you are but I'm glad that you enter new threads after I filter the entire board. Reply after I filter your image.
Nope
In all honesty everything Ken related is entertaining, everything outside of that is very grating. 4/10 the set design and Goose carry this film entirely. A plot moral is awful, B plot moral is actually good.
These guys get it. I was expecting it to be political, but it went further than I expected. If you think that will kill your enjoyment don't buy a ticket.
Ryan Gosling was very good but there was a part that was really hard to watch that almost felt like it was specifically made to snub Goslingposters. People who saw the movie probably know what I'm talking about.
>a part that was really hard to watch that almost felt like it was specifically made to snub Goslingposters
what was it?
The troony Barbie seeking validation from Ken and he gets on his knee and takes off the glasses in an "oh youre so beautiful" way
I thought he was going to take its glasses off and realise it was a Ken in disguise.
that was a troony? didn't care about it. I thought it was another ugly woman from the cast
I'm just gonna say I feel bad for you if you really couldn't tell it was a troony
yeah, for me it was another ugly cast.
His register is lower than Gosling's, Anon.
every single member of the cast is a troony
yes, gosling is a troony and pretending he isn't is astroturfing
really, my Ken?
Are you talking about the part near the end where Ken is crying and finding his own identity?
I kind of like the whole inverse Pygmalion thing at the end.
It is funny, but it's also obnoxiously masturbatory at several points.
The troon is thankfully on screen only in brief bursts and has no real relevance to the plot.
The feminism on display is fairly uninteresting second wave stuff.
Gosling and Robbie's dynamic is a highlight of the film. The sets and costumes are really lovingly put together, lots of sight gags throughout the piece.
A couple of pronounced lowpoints, there's this huge lecture about 75% of the way through that goes on and on.
I'm glad I saw it, shouldn't have gone early because a theater full of prostitutes and what looked like literal soijaks were reacting in a really annoying performative fashion.
Doesn't need a theater experience, so pirate it.
>Doesn't need a theater experience, so pirate it.
Why didn't you pirate it? I don't actually care what your stupid ass has to say. Reply after the hide.
Everything until they leave Barbie land is light hearted and fun. Very tongue in cheek and lots of referential humor to some of the absurdities of the brand. Once they leave it gets a little heavy handed with it's messaging, and there's a few eye roll moments. (the girl being a "mean girl" to Barbie) Ken is great through most of the real world stuff, but goes back early to implement "patriarchy" into Barbie world, which isn't as funny as it could've been. Back in Barbie world it gets better and the Battle of the Kens is the best sequence in the film.
There's three plots going on, and they get a little jumbled in the middle, but not terribly. I'm not mad I saw it, the parts I laughed at were more than the parts I rolled my eyes at. It's fine, I was entertained.
It's a preachy far-leftist power fantasy, as if we hadn't enough already.
It manages to make a cynical cash-grab film into a fun and surprisingly heartfelt movie. Calling it feminist propaganda is a fair if terminally online assessment but it ignores the fact that it's a decently made film with funny performances and enough weird directorial choices to remain interesting. Certainly a nice palate cleanser to see after the self-serious drudgery and endless boardroom meetings of Oppenheimer
I don't think it's terminally online to call Barbie feminist propaganda when the creators are openly proud of it being that.
That said it is a solid movie in spite of that. I'm sure I would like it a lot less if Gosling wasn't in it however.
There is genuinely a good moral incels can learn from watching this film
>tell me what to expect
Leftoid drivel, straight from Biden and megacorporations.
Radical feminism from the early 2010s
No way, radical feminists don't like how much it caters to men. I know because that's what my friends thought.
Imagine if someone made Spy Kids but for adults and about gender roles. Oh, and it's also a giant advert for Barbies.
I watch Critical Drinker but I like Barbie (the doll) so I think going to watch Barbie (the movie) sounds good.
