Member AlbertV Posted April 27, 2022 Member Share Posted April 27, 2022 Margot Robbie is seen in the first official photo of the live-action Barbie movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and written by Gerwig and partner Noah Baumbach. It looks like they are going with the titular Barbie being a doll exiled for not "being perfect enough" and I'm guessing she comes to life in the real work to start a new adventure. Gosling plays Ken in the film. Coming out July 21, 2023 from Warner Bros. and Mattel Films. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted April 27, 2022 Member Share Posted April 27, 2022 Greta Gerwig got mew to watch Little Women (which was amazing) so she's definitely going to get me to watch a Barbie movie. I'm weirdly hyped for this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted July 19, 2022 Member Share Posted July 19, 2022 I know that this will probably suck, but I kind of want to watch it. If for nothing else than to see Harley Quinn play as Barbie. Oh, and if the "Barbie Girl" sing by Aqua isn't in this, I will be deeply disappointed. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Agent U Posted August 1, 2023 Member Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Very different from what I expected initially, and actually quite entertaining. Really good work from the cast, notably the always great Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling (whose work I hadn't liked so much in a while). (Just wish people would stop putting Simu Liu in things already!) Edited August 2, 2023 by Agent U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DarthKato Posted August 15, 2023 Member Share Posted August 15, 2023 Nothing I heard about this movie looked or sounded any good to me(Besides seeing Margot looking sexy as ever, which I can just google images of and skip the film). So I don’t really have much else to say about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunch of tough guys in this forum. Thats just it, were guys.. Dont think the targeted audience of this movie was members of the kung fu cinema forums lmao. Now I am pretty curious about it myself. But dont have a woman in my life to drag me to see it, see it when its out of theaters eventually. Actually rewatched Harley birds of prey on the plane to las vegas in preparation to see this, movie got more flack than it deserved imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also acts way more narcissistic than people make Brie Larson out to be... Don't even get me started on his past Reddit posts. Let's not even get started on how he made Twitter angry with his premiere outfit🤣🤣. This is a Barbie thread after all so I ain't Gon go off like I usually do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Takuma Posted August 20, 2023 Member Share Posted August 20, 2023 I saw this last week and loved it. Surely the year’s most unexpected delight: a riotous toy story adventure musical and a gender political hand grenade whose constant film references (starting from a lengthy opening scene Kubrick homage) will definitely fly over its most obvious target audience. Perhaps that's the secret of its success: a children's film that works better with adults and (best with film buffs), except of course some conservative audiences among whom the film appears to have caused a meltdown. Margot Robbie shines as a Barbie doll who starts malfunctioning after thoughts of death creep into her mind, but it's Ryan Gosling who steals the show as a Ken who gets tired of being treated as a sex object and discovers the joys of toxic masculinity. The year’s funniest acting performance without a doubt. Also, mad respect for the crazy art design and insane practical effects extravaganza that seem to be giving a middle finger to the typical Hollywood CGI fests. I’m just Ken: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
