Funnily enough, the goal of the villain (Dar-Benn) of this film is pretty similar to the goal that President Skroob and Dark Helmet from Spaceballs had. Between this and Spaceballs, Spaceballs is the better film as the Marvels is below average (though I liked it more than the original Captain Marvel film). It's not awful like Antman 3 or the Eternals, but I wasn't marveled with the movie (pun totally intended). The most exciting part of the film was the mid-credits scene, TBH, as the rest of the film felt like it was painting by the numbers. Brie Larsen and Samuel L. Jackson were the best actors in this film. I totally forgot name of the villain of the movie before writing this review. If I needed to look up the villain after finishing the film so I could write this review, it's a bad sign for a movie villain. But yeah, the villain was written to be "sympathetic" due to various details of the movie that I won't spoil, but I felt more sympathy for the villains of Spaceballs due to them being more entertaining than Dar-Benn. On the plus side, the movie treated Nick Fury much better than his own show did, so it automatically gets at least 2 Stars at the least. However, it's on the lower half of Marvel movies on my overall tier list. Maybe wait until your theater has a discount ticket day before watching it if you absolutely need to go watch it. But yeah, Lightyear is to Interstellar as the Marvels is to Spaceballs. I was entertained by it, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me afterward (besides the single mid-credits scene).

I saw the movie in theaters this past Sunday. I thought it was fine, but I wasn't blown away by the film overall. As a comedy, some of the jokes didn't land for me, and I believe the CEO and his cronies didn't add much to the film after the 2nd act. However, I do think the film is competent. I did watch this film right after watching TMNT: Mutant Mayhem. I liked TMNT a LOT more, so it's possible that my indifferent review about Barbie was because of the back-to-back nature of watching the films consecutively. I probably won't grab the Blu-ray of the film, TBH. I don't have any major desire to watch it a 2nd time (though I'm not opposed to seeing it twice if friends wanted to see it again).

Amazing game. I prefer this to the other titles in the series because the gameplay is solid and the roster and stage selection are at the top of its class. What prevents this from being 5 stars is its online (it kinda sucks) and the lack of trophies. Spirits are neat, but I prefer trophies.

Not the worst Pixar film that I've ever watched (that dishonor goes to the Good Dinosaur), but definitely in the bottom half of Pixar films. The plot is an uninteresting rip-off of 2014's Interstellar that hardly keeps your attention due to the fact that the plot just happens. I also REALLY hated what they did with Zurg in this movie (won't spoil it specifics) as it ruins the character from Toy Story 2 and the classic Buzz Lightyear of Star Command series. Buzz being voiced by Chris Evans instead of Tim Allen or Patrick Warburton was also distracting as it made it seem like Buzz was Captain America but in space. Pixar usually makes great films (with the exceptions being the non-Toy Story sequels of movies that originally aired in the 2000's and the Good Dinosaur), but this film is just standard, uninspired (besides ripping off Interstellar) Hollywood schlock. Wait for it to come to Disney+ later down the road if you have to watch it.
