I went to see this movie having my expectations pretty high and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Trust me I am no snob and I can enjoy simplistic movies just as much as sophisticated ones, but this one made me really angry. I had read all these amazing reviews full of wows and I really expected to enjoy it...I still don't get all these amazing reviews about a fantastic deep message the movie conveys or witty humour. The message filled with cliches was transmitted in a corny way, the jokes were not funny at all, the plot - very plain with no intrigue and imagination whatsoever. The conflict solution was something a kid could come up with, I thought the writing was very lazy. The movie was just boring. I thought it was just me but my husband felt the same way and my friends who went to see it after me, would say "we wish we could unsee it". Barbie was my all-time favorite toy that marked my childhood and teen years and I did really want to enjoy the movie, but I just couldn't. I only give it a 5 because of the visual part which was brilliant and I love Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. But seriously... where all these amazing reviews come from? Or is it just "The Emperor's New Clothes" syndrome and people just don't dare to admit they see the king is naked?
