Hey,
If nothing else, see the first five minutes of this film. It's
hysterical, especially for a film buff. The content will drive the MAGA
crowd up the wall while they're stuttering "woke" the whole way and once again it will show their lack of knowledge about real history and film history.
One could argue that this film slides a lot closer to the source
material -- the story of a doll -- than most films based on novels. The
film has a sly humor although maintaining this form of comedy is always difficult. All in all, worth seeing.
The New York Times reviewer liked the last line of the movie. What was it?

If that's your best argument to see it, it's garbage.

The opening sequence was brilliant, as you say, and the final joke worked
as well. There were some funny bits in between, however this was a movie aimed not at me, but at little girls on one level and grown women on
another. Apparently lots of them enjoyed it.

(Since it was fantasy writ large, I saw nothing actionable by Mattel.)
While I appreciated the movie, I wish I had enjoyed it more, but it
triggered my watch-checking tell. I agree that it seemed very audience-specific -- e.g., two women I watched it with were in hysterics
over the foot-flattening, while I only chuckled. Compulsory viewing, regardless.

From what I have read, I’ve come to believe corporate Mattel supported the script 100%. At least this once it seems, the suits aren’t as stupid as they are generally presumed to be. I’ve also read that Mattel is now preparing movies for every toy in its product line, which will almost certainly end up disproving what I just said.
Should I admit that I hit the fast-forward button there toward the end? I probably shouldn’t admit that. But it’s what I did. Didn’t miss the final
joke though.

Waaaaay beyond. What you two -- and the rightwing wankers -- don't get is that Barbie is a comedy. Full out including the
Ken material. It's an absolute hoot.

The Brit Class system is the same as the Good Ole Boys system in
Barbie. Of course Brits were snubbing. Men, Woo Yaa !

Barbie isn't a British movie, so it shouldn't even remotely be able to qualify for the BAFTAs.
It'a bit like the ridiculousness of "Britain's Got Talent" where they
allow acts from other countries to enter. There are already "Got
Talent" and knock-off shows in numerous other countries for non-British
acts to enter in their own country.

Barbie isn't a British movie, so it shouldn't even remotely be able to
qualify for the BAFTAs.
Be that as it may it still qualifies:
"The British Academy Film Awards, more commonly known as the BAFTA Film Awards, is an annual award show hosted by the British Academy of Film
and Television Arts (BAFTA) to honour the best British and
international contributions to film.
Most of the awards are open to all nationalities, though there are
awards for Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Producer or Director. Only UK films are eligible for the
categories of The British Short Film and British Short Animation
awards."
