Ryan Gosling's character unironically saved the movie. It is worth watching for his performance, otherwise the film is on the preachy side

"Barbie" was a nice idea that didn't do it for me. I didn't like the presentation. Maybe it was a little too juvenile for my old bones. However, Margot Robbie was perfect in the role of Barbie. And Ryan Gosling surprised me as Ken.

This is an awful, mind numbingly boring film that relies on famous faces to get people to watch it.
From the outset it seems that the message of this film is "we are women hear us moan" the Barbies all have perfect lives where they are showered with compliments and accolades all day long, they have everything they could ever desire but Margot Robbie's Character is still not happy.
Men are depicted as superfluous total morons who are only interested in either power or sexual harassment.
Characters are introduced in this film who bring nothing to the actual "storyline" but instead seem to purely be there to support the narrative that woman are amazing while men are bumbling muppets who can't figure out how to use a light switch without a woman's help. One thing that really annoyed me was the stereotypical depiction of the Construction workers making suggestive comments to Barbie while Ken stands there like a gormless man sack and does nothing, firstly I worked Construction for many years and I never once behaved like this, secondly if I were out with my "girlfriend " and someone acted this way toward her I would not stand for it, but Ken is depicted as vacant and weak.
Visually the Movie looks stunning it's such a shame the same effort wasn't put into the story.
I am all for strong female lead characters but I am not happy with the current trend of Man bashing that seems to be overtaking Hollywood recently, If I were to make a Movie today that bashed women in the same way ths does Men it would be protested against, I would be a pig and a chauvinist.… Expand

This is what modern cinema has been reduced to. I'll give the producers one thing, they really spent a lot of time and money marketing this brainless empty cr*p. And I'm sure it's helped Mattel sell millions of overpriced plastic dolls.

"Barbie's Latest Flick" claims to offer excitement but delivers a reality check instead. Picture this: characters with the depth of a puddle, a plot thinner than a whisper, and emotions as genuine as a three-dollar bill.

Hold onto your popcorn as Barbie and Co. prove that character development is an urban myth. With all the charisma of cardboard cutouts, they sprint through a story more predictable than a sunrise. And as for empathy? You'd have better luck feeling for a rock.

Remember those tantalizing trailers? Well, buckle up for a masterclass in false advertising. The film dupes viewers like a magician's sleight of hand. What seemed like a grand adventure turned out to be an expedition into tedium.

In a world of missed opportunities, "Barbie's Bland Adventure" reigns supreme. It's like watching paint dry, but without the thrill. So, if you seek a cinematic masterpiece, look elsewhere. Barbie's latest escapade leaves you questioning life's most profound mysteries: why, oh why, did I choose this film?

In summary, "Barbie's Bland Adventure" proves that sometimes, even a doll's smile can't mask a story's emptiness. With more fluff than substance, it's a reminder that not all that glitters is gold.… Expand

What is left if not beauty? A social commentary? A feminist manifesto?
It could be considered a pamphlet or a fable if the writing weren't so atrocious. How apt to end this pathetic American attempt at cinematic philosophizing with the great tautology: "Ken is me! Ken is me!" or the profound "I'm going to see my gynecologist". It's a litany of predictable "you go girl" clichés. Some people talk about mansplaining? What about womenagging? The few good funny moments were delivered by the Ken character. What is truly concerning is how many American critics value this drivel.… Expand

This movie bombards you with scenes and dialogue that will make you confused that you'll want to keep watching. There is a way to make a Barbie movie and this is not it.

This movie takes scenes from good movies and thinks that it works with the plot it is trying to convey.

Did I mention the patriarchy?

AND SOME HOW, this movie makes over 1Billion dollars.

I have now lost faith in the human race when it comes to supporting content that is useful, joyful and inspirational.

The only thing that works in this movie is Ken because he actually has a plot that had enough to explain his actions. That's my review, literal WB was advertising their own content in the background which is insulting to the consumer. I will no longer Support WB from this point onwards. Congratulations WB, you played yourself.

I changed this to a 1/10, because of the woman complaining about complaining. This is not what you should be teaching children specifically young girls.… Expand

Like online dating websites, getting cast as aBarbieland is set in the progressive utopia where you have black barbie, trans barbie, and fat barbie. But don’t expect to see plus size Ken, FTM Ken, or short Ken make it past the great filter. Like online dating websites, getting cast as a man in the Barbie movie requires you to be in the top 5% of men in terms of physique just to earn an opportunity to be one of its stupid emasculated antagonists. Presumably all the other Kens have long ago committed suicide in accordance with the values and beliefs of the gynocentric matriarchy that the film depicts and celebrates. As a woman once explained to me, all men are either gym bros in muscle shirts who just want to sleep around, or otherwise they’re nothing but useless basement dwellers. As someone who lives in the desert, I know the dirt’s too thick here for basements. Barbie and Kenough visit the “real world” only to discover men are apparently in charge. An awfully subversive message to send in our contemporary society where the gap in college degrees awarded to women over men is more disparate than it has ever been even when things were previously reversed. Despite the stark realities reflected in suicides, incarceration rates, and statistics pertaining to the initiation of divorce, Barbie desperately wants you to believe we still live in the boomer fantasy world of the early 1960s. A time where men were afforded a small amount of respect on account of dying by the millions in WW2 a few decades earlier in brutal mechanized combat. Without that bloodbath, movies like Barbie wouldn't be possible. Kenough grows a set of balls and decides he is tired of being a homeless nobody treated as worthless by the society and culture he lives in. Thus, he leads a new patriarchy to take over Barbieland. While the concept of toxic masculinity is ridiculous, even I can appreciate that men can sometimes overdo it when it comes to things like violence, excessive jealousy, and narcissism. Rather than explore the downsides of a male dominated society, the film exposes us to the horrors of a world where men freely express opinions, lift weights, ride horses and drink beer. In other words, the real nightmare is that men still currently exist. Barbieland is saved, the men go back to being homeless living in a desert, and lip service is paid to the possibility of a more equitable society. The chances of the barbies fixing anything is as likely as the stakeholders in our society ever acknowledging the actual (not pretend) sexism that lies at the heart of our own society. We are what we consume and the fact that this film made ridiculous cheddar at the box office serves as an excellent representation of the state of contemporary western culture. Nothing will promote societal cohesion more than the deluge of gender studies courses disguised as children's toy movies that will inevitably follow this. If you're the type of lady who loves to bury her head in the sand, the desert in Barbieland has plenty of sand.… Expand

In this movie Kens are treated just as an add-ons for Barbies and later they all decide to be sexists. Ultimatly the movie ends by restoring ,,feminism'' to barbieland and even tho the whole movie started because main ken was mistreated by main barbiue, all of the barbies decide to treat them slightly less. Also for 2h long movie they sure do have a lot of pointless scenes that drag for too long. And don't get me started on false advertising.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movies was a terrible disappointment. I'd group up watching Barbie movies so initially I had been looking forward to Barbie, but the film is nothing like what the posters make it out to be. In fact, I'd say that this film is "Barbie" in name only. The first part of the film in Barbieland was enjoyable, if a little predictable. The costume design was wonderful. However, everything after that was absolutely terrible. Even though this movie is listed as a comedy, it isn't funny. All of the jokes and humor fall flat. The film also suffered greatly from poor writing and an inconsistent plot that made little sense. At first the story seems to be about the owner of Stereotypical Barbie having issues that are being reflected on Stereotypical Barbie in Barbieland and looks like it's going to be a wholesome story about Barbie going to the Real World to help the owner of her doll with her problem, similar to the 2000 Disney film Life-Size. However, as soon as Barbie arrives in the Real World the plot of the film changes and seems to instead be focused on themes of politics and sexism with Barbie being openly catcalled and harassed by men at every turn. When the plot does managed to be steered back towards Barbie's original goal for going to the Real World it's very brief and gets completely derailed when she finds the girl who is supposedly her owner and the girl tears Barbie down like any stereotypical Mean Girl. The plot then goes in yet another different direction when Barbie's brought to Mattel Headquarters to find it governed by men who want to put her in a box and send her back to Barbieland. At this point it's looking like Mattel are the villains in the movie, but, wait! The plot soon changes course yet again with Ken, having accompanied Barbie to the Real World, discovering the "patriarchy" and returning to Barbieland by himself where he takes over and brainwashes all the Barbies into glorified servants for the Kens who treat them far worse than the Barbies ever treated them. Barbie finds out that it's the mother of the girl she found that's actually the one that's been playing with her doll and Barbie, the mom and the daughter and return to Barbieland where they find it completely altered and it's revealed that Ken is actually the villain of the film. The humans and the few Barbies that weren't brainwashed band together and plot to take back Barbieland, deprogramming the brainwashed Barbies by ranting about unrealistic expectations men place on women and then subsequently using the stereotypes most women rally against to seduce the Kens then make them jealous of each other. All so that the Kens will fight one another and be distracted while the Barbies seize back control of Barbieland. Afterwards the film tries to make us sympathetic for Ken despite his hostile takeover of Barbieland and the downright and disproportionately horrible way he acted.
This movie was terrible on all fronts. It's a comedy that isn't funny. The plot is mess. There's always either too much overacting or underacting. It's bogged down with an excess of political themes. And it really just isn't a Barbie movie.… Expand

Nos tempos atuais, é notável como a indústria do entretenimento busca desesperadamente abraçar as tendências sociais emergentes, muitas vezes à custa de qualidade e autenticidade. O filme "Barbie", infelizmente, não é uma exceção a essaNos tempos atuais, é notável como a indústria do entretenimento busca desesperadamente abraçar as tendências sociais emergentes, muitas vezes à custa de qualidade e autenticidade. O filme "Barbie", infelizmente, não é uma exceção a essa tendência, sendo uma tentativa forçada e desajeitada de se adequar ao movimento woke enquanto também se posiciona como uma crítica caricata ao machismo.

Desde o início, fica evidente que o filme está empenhado em empregar todos os elementos possíveis do movimento woke, sem levar em consideração a coesão da história ou a profundidade dos personagens. Cada cena é uma sucessão de referências às pautas sociais do momento, resultando em diálogos desconexos e momentos que parecem mais um checklist de inclusão do que um enredo envolvente. A protagonista, Barbie, é transformada em uma espécie de ativista instantânea, abraçando causas sem uma base real de conhecimento ou contexto.

Além disso, a abordagem do filme em relação ao machismo é caricata e simplista. Os personagens masculinos são pintados com traços estereotipados e arcaicos, perpetuando uma visão unidimensional e exagerada do machismo. Em vez de criar personagens que possam gerar uma discussão significativa sobre as questões de gênero, o filme opta por representações simplistas que não fazem justiça à complexidade do tema.

No âmbito da trama, o enredo parece uma colcha de retalhos de cenas desconexas, todas tentando fazer malabarismos com as mensagens woke. Desde campanhas virtuais até discursos inflamados sobre justiça social, o filme se perde em uma overdose de mensagens, perdendo de vista a importância de uma narrativa coerente e envolvente. As motivações dos personagens são frequentemente inconsistentes, pois parecem estar em constante fluxo para se alinhar às agendas sociais do momento.

No final das contas, "Barbie" se torna um exemplo lamentável de como o excesso do movimento woke pode prejudicar a qualidade do entretenimento. Em vez de apresentar um enredo envolvente e personagens bem desenvolvidos, o filme se perde em uma tentativa desesperada de abraçar a moda do momento. Essa abordagem superficial das questões sociais e de gênero apenas arranha a superfície dos problemas reais, sem contribuir de forma significativa para um diálogo construtivo.

O público merece filmes que tratem de questões importantes de maneira genuína e que ofereçam uma narrativa cativante. Infelizmente, "Barbie" parece mais interessado em capitalizar as tendências do que em criar um conteúdo memorável. No final, é uma decepção para os fãs que esperavam uma experiência rica e significativa.… Expand

Gerwig's idea of the battle of the sexes feels like it's been hermetically sealed inI chuckled a lot but it was a very average movie that seemed very intent on saying something about gender but then ultimately never got around to doing that. Gerwig's idea of the battle of the sexes feels like it's been hermetically sealed in a plastic toy box since the '70s. The misogyny of the real world depicted in this film is so over the top that it doesn't even work as satire. Men don't act like that where I live. (Have men EVER acted this way, slapping the ass of a stranger in broad daylight at the beach?) Anecdotally, I know and encounter hundreds of males. Most if not all of them are generally concerned with being respectful of women and are, to varying degrees, making a good faith effort to be an ally and treat women as equals. It's confusing and regressive for a film like this to depict all men as drooling, ass slapping morons.

When the film got going my initial thought was "this is genius, using barbie to unpack the psychological pressures of advertising and societal expectations on women", subverting the IP toy film concept. It also seemed for a bit like it might go one step further and take a crack at the ways boys are being neglected in a post feminist landscape through the emasculation of the Ken characters. Unfortunately it didn't pull either of these off. Its conclusions were vague and felt as fake deep and plastic as the dolls this movie is based on.… Expand

This was such a letdown. Now I know why they had to spend so much money on advertising this bad movie. It would have flopped without all the money spent on advertising it everywhere. It is also not kid friendly. Many sexual undertones.

I couldn't stomach another minute of that relentless preaching. It's like they're trying to hammer their third wave feminist agenda into your brain so forcefully that any ounce of actual enjoyment, feminine vibes, or damn entertainment gets crushed under its weight. I tried to cut some slack for how they treated those damn Ken dolls, since they're targeting young girls with this toy line garbage. But let's be real, the vast majority of the humor, commentary, and hell, even the message itself, would fly miles over the heads of those innocent kids they're aiming at. Barbie, of all things, goes on to spell out to a bunch of construction workers how she's missing a damn vagina and Ken's packing nothing down there. Yeah, that's what she says, and we're supposed to believe this is appropriate for little kids? And how the hell would they even grasp anatomy at that age? If these dolls are supposedly a reflection of the little girls playing with them, what the hell's going on with the rest of the damn Barbies? Are we supposed to think those girls aren't dealing with the same crap? Maybe they half-heartedly explain it later, who knows. Like I said, I hauled my ass out because I couldn't stand the way they were shoving that damn message down my throat.… Expand

This 6 is a mix between a clear 10 (music, figurine, make-up, acting) and a 2 (plot and shallow view of gender politics). With a better, deeper plot, this could have been an universal acclaim.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I walked into this movie expecting to have a great cinematic experience. The leading cast was perfect and the propaganda and time spent to promote the movie was done perfectly. Done so perfectly that I couldn’t wait to see the film, but now I see why they spent so much time promoting it. The film itself is very boring. The comedy didn’t really hit. There was no memorable parts in the film. The acting was subpar even from actors such as Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie. All it was was promoting feminist ideals to the public and to put down men in society. Barbie is supposed to be a comedy, a film that will leave me crying from laughter in my seat. All it left me was disappointed that I watched this rather than Oppenheimer.

I give it a 2 because the “I’m Just Ken” song is amazing, let’s just be honest. Definitely gonna get best original song.… Expand

The style is there, the costume and set design is there, everything looks great and sounds great. The performances are also there, Margot Robbie as Barbie is perfect casting and Ryan Gosling especially is the big standout, and is easily the best part of the film. However, it's the on-the-nose delivery of its message and themes, that clashes poorly with its meandering vagueness, one that is both relentless and repetitive. The film is very message heavy, but instead of saying and doing anything interesting with this topic, it instead just kind of meanders aimlessly at moments.… Expand

There were a couple of long monologues that took me out of the movie for a moment, but it had me laughing from start to finish. I think one of the most powerful scenes was when Ken first gets to the real world and sees everything covered in men, statues, history, even money. It's presented as a funny moment, but it had a very powerful impact. It's a positive for Ken, but it was a very sad scene to realize how left out women have been. And to extrapolate from that, everyone who wasn't a rich white man. Makes you wonder what we could have accomplished without wasting so many minds.… Expand

Like what should be even discussed here? Complete lack of any point aside from an attempt of a corporate to avoid feminist aggression for unrealistic body expectations?

The points brought in the movie look so stupid. After all women were already famous in professions like math, physics, acting, programming decades before Barbie existed.

Given the doll was invented by a woman, specifically for girls, with an amazing body because otherwise nobody would buy it at that time they still keep blaming men for something with absolutely 0 logical connection between the facts. Even my wife could not make any sense out of it.

Brainwashing drama at the end looks especially disgusting. Given men do not really have tools to brainwash girls in reality, but the very same Barbie doll did that a lot, being a part of body standards story.

I would highly recommend to stay away from that movie, and do not show this tasteless piece of confusion to your kids too. Save your time on earth for something better.… Expand

“Heavy is the arm that wears its heart on its sleeve.” That’s the best way to sum up this overwritten, overlong, stunningly obvious treatise on gender equality, consumerism and existentialism, whose messages get beaten to death beginning“Heavy is the arm that wears its heart on its sleeve.” That’s the best way to sum up this overwritten, overlong, stunningly obvious treatise on gender equality, consumerism and existentialism, whose messages get beaten to death beginning early on and never let up, an exhausting experience, to be sure. Writer-director Greta Gerwig’s latest offering, co-written with collaborator Noah Baumbach, features a dreadful script that’s about as subtle as a young adult novel, drones on and on and on for about 30 minutes longer than it needs to be, becomes endlessly repetitive, and incorporates story threads that could have easily been scaled back or eliminated entirely (such as those with Will Ferrell and Michael Cera). What’s more, much of the dialogue is either stupefyingly juvenile or sounds more like “writing” than anything anyone would actually say (even for a fictional fantasy character), with attempts at humor that often fall woefully flat. And, to be honest, for all intents and purposes, the project comes across like a two-hour commercial for Mattel (even if the company manages to find ways to poke fun at itself). To its credit, “Barbie” does have a few strengths going for it, such as its superb production design, some genuinely clever humor (especially its opening pre-titles sequence and occasional asides), and fine performances by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (who manage to make this material look better than it actually is), as well as a heartwarming appearance by Rhea Perlman. Beyond that, though, this is handily the most overrated, overhyped release of the summer movie season, one that I’ll easily forget before year’s end – and one that conclusively proves the power of marketing, no matter what the quality of the merchandise being promoted.… Expand

That being said, there are moments where the tone shifts abruptly, and I felt like I was being lectured by a liberal arts college professor. I don’t agree with the ideology being lectured. I think men and women have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages in society, and this movie offers a one-sided commentary on the difficulties of womanhood.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 'Barbie' was more of a political movie promoting feminism across all aspects in human life rather than a film of what Barbie really is like. As a man, I found to be slightly unsettled and uncomfortable watching the film as all the time i was watching, men were considered baddies whilst women were heroes. I get that because it's all about Barbie, but it kind of felt one-dimensional and even a little shallow. The end of the film really angered me because she decided to become... a HUMAN! Yes, A Human! In a film about dolls? That was a mistake. The point of the film was so Barbie could understand what life is like besides being a barbie, and she chooses to be human? It completely defeats the purpose of dolls! On a good note, The acting was great and the setting was fabulous, but i can't shake off the feeling that this film is almost an insult to men, because of how badly they are trying to spread the word for feminism in this generation's kids.… Expand

Not a bad movie, decent and had his moments of fun. Not every movie need to be a leason Hollywood, some are just for fun and to have a good time, that's it.

Despite being a guy, I found this movie to be funny, meta, deep, and philosophical. Everything in this production blew my mind of how well put together from the set designs to the costuming to the choreography to the entire cast.

Regardless of Mattel’s plan with their merchandise in the film industry, their first crack at it is a smash hit.

However, once past a Barbie doll’s quirky and enjoyable surface, Barbie pushes for feminism and masculinism for Barbies and Kens alike, treating both sides respectfully and giving audiences a good laugh.

The film was written and directed by Greta Gerwig with writingAfter many iterations and transfers to different studios, Barbie finally found her dream home at Warner Pictures. The story is about Barbie who suffers an existential crisis. The film was written and directed by Greta Gerwig with writing help by Noah Baumbach.

Already, the film has been nominated for “The Next Big Thing” by Queerty, and won “Most Anticipated Film” by HCA Award.

On a personal note, I absolutely loved Barbie when I was a little girl. She was my favorite toy ever and I played with her for hours, changing her outfits and accessories with every outing I took her on. For me, it was all about her gorgeous clothes. My angel mother hand-sewed even more clothes for me and Barbie to enjoy. I had it all: her house, camper, car, etc. She could do anything and had such a hot boyfriend, Ken, who really was just another accessory as portrayed in the movie.

I wanted this movie to just be fun and sweet, but there is a serious anti-male undertone throughout and it’s being labeled as angry feminist propaganda. Are those two things true? Sadly, yes.

THINGS I LIKED:
Margot Robbie is a goddess. She’s the perfect “stereotypical” Barbie. Her only request to the director was to create a swimming pool that went from her bedroom to her swimming pool. Great idea! I would love that too! We even get to hear her sing a tiny bit. Young children and grown adults are now donning all things pink and celebrating feminine power while lining up to watch this movie in theaters.
Ryan Gosling gives a fantastic performance as Ken. His perfectly tan texture looked exactly like the doll I had while growing up. When he saw his daughter’s Ken doll tossed into the mud next to a smashed lemon, he immediately texted director Greta Gerwig the message, “I shall be your Ken. His story must be told.” Ha ha We get to hear him sing and see him dance. He is Kenough.
Ariana Greenblatt is such a natural. I fell in love with her when I first saw her in the movie Love and Monsters. You can see my review of that cute movie at https://moviereviewmom.com/?s=love+and+monsters
The cast is filled with fan favorites like Kate McKinnon, Will Smith, John Cena, Issa Rae, Dua Lipa, America Ferrera, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, and all narrated by the legendary Helen Mirren. It’s entertaining to see the cast list because there are so many actors listed as “Barbie” and “Ken.”
I had a brunette Barbie that looked just like Emma Mackey. Emma is such a doppelganger for Margot Robbie in real life! I also had a Skipper like the one in the movie!
The music is fun, peppy, and energetic.
The set designs look perfectly Barbie with that pink, plastic texture. So much attention to detail was given, such as the exact font that was used in the movie to match the font we see in her marketing in real life.
There’s so much visual and spoken humor.
America Ferrera’s speech about how difficult it is to be a woman in today’s world had a lot of truths in it that most women have probably experienced.
I always get a kick out of movies that reference other movies. That happens several times in this film.
The film definitely celebrates womanhood, but there are darker themes in the mix that cast a shadow over what could have been a perfectly gentle movie for little girls and their mothers. Why do movies and women think they have to demean men in order to empower themselves? One of the movie’s messages is that men are idiots and only tolerated when it serves women.
Part of me really loved seeing the female empowerment element of the movie, but part of me was really felt bothered by some of the subtle messaging that the patriarchy is evil.
Some of the Barbies are actually Trans actors. One of those actors said the movie is “candy with a little poison” and another said that this movie would end the gender debate forever.
Who is the target audience for this movie? If it’s supposed to be for mothers and their young daughters, then why are there so many sexualized jokes?
I’m really bothered by the line that said, “Women hate women, and men hate women. That’s the one thing they can agree on.” The movie makes the message that men and women are better off without each other. The movie portrays Mattel as being completely run by men; however, the CEO of the company for 30 years was a woman. Today, the Board has 5 women on it. The message seems to be that women should turn men against one another to save our society from the patriarchy. “Make the men complacent and then you can take the men’s power.”
I hate it when people use the term “fascist” because it’s always used incorrectly.
Some of the characters also bash capitalism, while the film studio continues to sell movie tickets and merchandise like crazy.
There are some plot points that have serious holes in them.
There is a lack of consistency. For example, sometimes Barbie moves stiffly like a plastic doll and other times, she moves like a normal human.… Expand
