Barbie Steelbook (UK}

[Gorgon]

Far too heavy handed with the "Messaging' to garner my interest and yes, a simple fun romp in the Barbie Universe could have been something my Girls and I enjoy. Sadly "fun", was not the biggest part of their intended delivery.
I suppose with Gerwig, I should have known.

100% agree, then they have her doing the new Narnia film of all things. SMH.

The steel is nice looking, but the film itself will go over as well as the new pink sauce whopper they have as a tie in promo.

Are you opposed of the message of the film? Or just the way in which it was delivered?

I'm glad it had more depth and heart to it. I thought it was pretty fun. Moving at times too. Nice and colorful movie for once too after years and years of often drab teal or dingy grungy.

(I should also say that some, most, of the political types reviewing it basically misunderstood almost every last thing in it and got many of it's points reversed one way or another. It's a lot more nuanced than most of those made it. Lots of dual representations and meaning to things. It can even be hard to really quite catch all of it the first viewing.)
