It took something timeless and pure and twisted it into something ugly. No thanks. TCD is one of the laziest and dishonest reviewers. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, almost all my characters have inspirations from Barbie behind them. It’s just a comedy and a funny one. After seeing it I thought any controversy was manufactured. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game Master GM Crumpet Posted August 19, 2023 Game Master Share Posted August 19, 2023 I found out a couple of days ago my friend went to see the previews and absolutely hated it. He's a good fit for the demographic as well, he's gay, used to be a nanny and played Barbie with his charges, loves anything camp and silly. He said it was misandrist and mean spirited. He also agreed that if you took a shot every time they said Patriarchy you'd probably die. He also thought the Barbie exec stuff could have been cut out and nobody would really have noticed. I'll probably catch it on streaming at some point so I'll see for myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High_Beam Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I saw it, it was fine. 3.5 out of 5. There were some funny moments but the thing is it was different than what's been shoveled out as of late. Sure there was a message but I didn't feel bludgeoned to death by it. America Fererra actually had the best written and acted character followed by Robbie. Not enough Kate McKinnon and too much Ferrell (totally agree on the Mattel scenes less the part with Rhea Perlman's character). Gonna see Blue Beetle this coming weekend because friends said while its average from a story standpoint, the characters are fun and funny and there is heart like the first Shazam. Girls of Nukem High - Excelsior - Tempus Fabulous, Flattery, Jennifer Chilly, Betty Beatdown, Two Gun Trixie Babes of War - Excelsior - Di Di Guns, Runeslinger, Munitions Mistress, Tideway, Hard Melody, Blue Aria Several alts and of course my original from live on Freedom, OG High Beam (someone else has her non OG name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The Venn diagram of "I don't trust critic reviews" and "my buddy so and so saw it and said these things" is a circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all things, it's nothing more than expression of personal preference. And anyone trying to tell me it's different just because someone makes money and another doesn't is rockin' the ganj...

Well I am rockin' the ganj, and I think this is malarkey, lol. Critics don't have more insight because they're paid, they're paid because they have more insight. If you're reading some critique and personal preference is obvious, then that critic is bad at their job. I think it makes a lot of sense to listen to friends whose tastes you know line up with yours when you're deciding if you should see something; I think it doesn't make sense to trot those same friends out into third party convos if that third party has no idea who your friend is.

Just gonna say that I disagree with you here. Personal preference is personal preference.
