I like the idea that these reviewers all had the concept for a perfect Barbie movie, and are then criticising this one for not living up to it.
I think that - like most people - when I heard that Gerwig was making a movie out of Barbie, I thought: how the hell is she going to do that?
Seems like she kind of stuck the landing. 89% with over 100 reviews on RT.
Oh cool. Never had a doubt of course. Off to Narnia next apparently (which means I'll have to wait even longer for my imagined Gerwig Star Wars, unfortunately).
I forgot she was making this, for some reason I thought it was Baz Luhrmann. Now I can't imagine what the movie is like!
