Walked out during intermission.
The trailer made it seem like this would be a sort of movie that hasn't really been made since the mid-2000s which is a fun ("fun" being the keyword) adventure with silly/supernatural elements to it. Sillly is me for thinking that that could happen in 2023...
- Visually, a fantastic job. Big props to the art and costume crew. Barbie Land was incredibly well made. The colors and the lighting in the film were on point.
- Not a bad idea for the plot, but the movie itself didn't care about the plot.
- Execution... You may as well get a hot pink piece of paper and a bright yellow pen, write "Men are bad. Patriarchy is bad. Women are good. Unless they're really attractive, in which case they're also bad." and read it aloud over and over and over again for 2 hours.
