There was too much attention put towards references and feminist speeches that a compelling story was missed. I don’t want to be talked at about feminism. Either change the direction of the movie to not be about feminism or actually show me/teach me something through storytelling.
The “feminist" rants just pissed me off. Also there was no plot to follow. Instead of feeling like a movie, Barbie felt like a video you would be forced to watch in high school with skits and speeches that ultimately teach you nothing of value.
