I am clearly not the target audience for this one but I still enjoyed it.

Went and saw in the cinemas which of course added to the overall experience.

Yea this is made for a younger audience and is slightly directed towards women but that doesn't mean it is one-sided or lacks depth. The character arch of Ken (Ryan Gosling) was is most enjoyable for me, he is the real star of this film. I felt the heavy anti-patriarchy angle for Barbie (Margot Robbie) was a bit ham-fisted.

I will say that they couldn't of picked a better person to play Barbie, Margot Robbie just encapsulates the over-the-top nature, 'perfect look' and clueless attitude that we expect from Barbie.

The only jokes I laughed at were either from Ken or Weird Barbie, I would say 90% were Ken. This isn't a bad thing more of a lack of interesting and funny characters.

The cinematography and settings are amazing and stunning to look at. They did a great job at grounding Barbie World in reality but also not taking itself too seriously - very self-aware.

This is a fun watch for all, lets just hope they don't bring out a sequel (pre sure they already are)
