1.“I’d say it’s a little overhyped, mainly because I didn’t fully get into it the first time I saw it. I was more excited aboutOppenheimer, but now, I love it.”
" It ’s beautifully ego aware , the soundtrack is amazing , and the existential sense of humour is on - point . My preferred part is in the reprise of theLizzosong and she tattle ' phosphorus ! Panic ! I ! I ’m frightened ! N ! queasy ! K ! Death ! ' Makes me laugh and sing along every meter . "

2.“I think it was absolutely fantastic. It was emotional, beautiful, and meaningful. It’s the movie that women and young girls deserve, and I loved every second.”
" However , I do also sympathise why some citizenry think it ’s overhyped , because it was very much all that was talked about for an lengthened period . I can sympathise how that would get a short irritating to multitude who were in the beginning ambivalent towards it . The same matter has happened to me with film I ’m not interested in that just got hyped too much . "

3.“I was really excited to watch it but I have to admit, I was a bit underwhelmed.”
" I do n’t think it really did anything new , and I feel it a bit on the nose compared to other movies with strong / safe feminist undertones . It had potential to go further and be better IMO , but I would n’t say it was a bad pic .
I will say I ’m felicitous others disagree with me and found the flick inspiring . If YOU consider it ’s an significant film , then it is an of import picture , and my opinion does n’t negate that for you . "

4.“I liked the film the first time I saw it, but I didn’t ‘get it’ until I took my mom to go see it a second time. Watching it with her was so special and funny and moving.”
" We both cried at the end when Barbie ’s really feeling for the first time , and they show the clips of all these amazing girls and women . It just really brought home how we were all just little girls once and we ’re just doing our best . "
— jenniferh4e24263bc
5.“I loved it all. The only thing I would have preferred to see was that at the end, if ‘Barbie Land’ had become equal. Not women above men, or men above women, but just equal.”
" Other than that , it was utter . America Ferrera ’s delivery … My god , that got me in the feels . "
— aliceholland
6.“It was Kenough.”
" No , but seriously it was fantastic . Witty , fresh , visually stunning , and truly moving . It ’s going to go down as one of the definingiconic moviesof the 2020s . "

7.“The message was powerful, truthful, and important, but I hated the movie.”
" I do n’t want to make up to ride and be told how terrible the world is to woman ( for context , I am a woman ) for two time of day . I came out of the movie feel incredibly sad and with a signified of apprehensiveness , when what I needed was a bit of joy . Of course , that ’s perchance my flaw , I should have researched the film more . But I feel like you ’re supposed to enjoy movies , all the same . "

" Absolutely superb . "
— jennyofoldstones
10.“It was perfection.”

" I understand some of the literary criticism , but I think the majority whole missed the point of being an idea vs. being a somebody with flaws .
10/10 . Yes , Sublime ! "
— earlkay

" It is ' sublime ! ' "
— megabat
14.“I really loved it. I mean, I am a sucker for a decent advertising campaign. On paper, capitalism’s shite, but I’m only human.”
