$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

    I pirated Barbie and was pretty excited to see it but damn I was disappointed, this movie was seriously overhyped it’s really nothing to write home about.

        To me it just seemed perfectly serviceable. It wasn’t a bad movie but I just wasn’t blown away at all. I was expecting some kind of deep nuanced take on gender roles and heart strings being tugged. But it was all kind of silly and unsurprisingly(since Mattel paid for the movie) felt like Mattel jerking themselves off. It was just very very silly and cheesy but not endearing enough for it to work I felt.

      I don’t know why, but from the hype I expected it to be a bit more mature, but it had the plot depth of a kids movie… Well it was a kids movie that’s why it just felt flat to me.

        Maybe you missed a lot of the subtext? Most films are about more than the plotline but this one especially.

      Agreed. The pacing was just strange. I have a feeling that it will eventually be one of those movies that people always see on TV late at night.

      Honestly if it was a freaking masterpiece there is no way in hell that I’d watch a Barbie movie…
