Just watched the Barbie movie. It's pretty good, well made, and it's kind of nice to see a movie about feminism that also takes men's issues into consideration. Plus it's great to see Margot Robbie in a movie where her #1 on Wikifeet feet are actually a crucial plot point.
Only issues:
1) A lot of the time, the characters talk more like someone writing their gender studies thesis on the cultural impact of Barbie than anything a real person might say. And, no, the fact that half of these characters are literal dolls does not exempt this film from this criticism.
2) Not enough shots of the Mojo Dojo Casa House. I know Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer put a lot of work into making it look as cringe as possible, but we barely see any of it.
3) Sadly, Warner and Universal didn't coordinate their Blu-Ray release dates for Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
