Review by Matt D
VIP4Starts off really strong and fun.
The sets look incredible and its immersive. They had a really great message about body positivity and unrealistic expectations on women & I was all the way behind it.... Then rapidly spirals into a pure man hate / Women supremacy. Its obvious the writers have a huge chip on their shoulders.. It's messaging is so heavy handed it completely took me out of the movie & brings it from enjoyable to a drab 2 hour rant by an angry twitter blue user who think's women's rights is still in the 1800's.
They have this unreal take that you're set for life if you're a man and just get instant success. They think everything's better if you're a man (Guess what, it doesn't work that way. I'm told every day how I'm a bad person because I'm a man, and for only that.... Just like this movie does)...Being preached at about why being a man is so bad for 2 hours does not make for a fun viewing experience.
It shows the glaring double standards of the current mainstream talking points.
This movie blindly preaches that "the world would be better if the shoe was on the other foot" and it comes across as tone deaf.
Its BAD all one gender "rules the world" but if its women, its A-OK!... which defeats the purpose of feminism.
Women getting equality, not supremacy.
call this a hot take but I think men and women should be equal..... but this movie thinks men don't even deserve a seat on Barbie world's court - that's insane.Why is Patriarchy bad but Matriarchy good....????
Its either all bad or none of it is, and this man hating director needs to make up her mind.loading replies
@mattdeezly1996 The degree at which you missed the point of the movie is shocking. Men have run things since the beginning of time. During the middle of the movie, they showed how difficult it can be to be a young woman. Towards the end of the movie, it showed how difficult it can be to be a human. At certain points where men portrayed as.... well, the gender that has run the world? Yes, but why is that such a challenge to your masculinity? The movie didn't look down on men, it was trying to lift up people. Your review is proving the point of the movie. You need not feel threatened because a movie tried to show girls (or any human) that you can be more than you are.
Why do black comedians always have to talk about what it feels like "being back in a white mans world"? Let the comedy speak for itself, I hate when comedians have to make things about race to get a few laughs.. Never see this from white comedians.
Other than that, not a bad show. Watch it all the time. BUT!! I just hate when shows like these are like.. "We back", "as a African American", "Having a white friend", "White people always like".. ect ect ect IN EVERY EPISODE!!!!
WE GET IT, YOU'RE BLACK!!! NOBODY CARES!!!! LET IT DIE!!!

@witwolfy If a white person was in a black man's world, i think we would hear it a lot from white comedians.
Tried for Suburbicon. Missed by a mile. Neighborhood is as real as the one in Edward Scissorhands. Woke joke.

@dridriov Hit a little to close to home?
Good: critic the male society, make fun of patriarchy, good effects.
Bad: preaching about feminism, there is no critic to feminism, also they keeping without understand the males also are human beings.loading replies
it was a satire - the end matriarchy where the kens still had no rights reflected the real world where mattel execs were still all men

faster movie I stopped watching... can't stand it. Not sure what's the big hype about it. Can't even review about it because I left after 20 minutes.

@differ He rated it a 1 and then said he literally walked out because it was so bad he couldn't stand it. That's about the most clear-cut review you could have.
However, looking through his comment history now, it's clear this guy is a pilled right-wing extremist so there's doubt he ever actually went to see it. Even if he did and is telling the truth, I'd probably consider this comment to be part of the review-bombing campaign than anything else (he does seem to walk out of movies after 20 minutes a lot).
oh my ufking god i want to shove this entire film up my a**

@annastorv Does this mean we should, or shouldn't watch it, though?

@edgrande > also they keeping without understand the males also are human beings.
Did you leave the theater before the third act?
