This was a wild ride, the second you think it couldn't get weirder or more surprising it does. But within the chaos and action is true heart. It touches on depression, generational trauma, loss, hope, identity and more and truely wraps in existential crisis and kindness. It's incredibly satisfying. The pace is perfection and in its weight there are moments of comedy and peace. The actors all give phenomenal performances. Go see this. 10/10.

This is a surprisingly good movie. I had no expectations going into it, but was curious as to why there seemed to be so much controversy. First, the actors are fantastic. Margot and Ryan are perfection and so many of the other actors America, Michael etc are amazing. The sets are incredible and the costumes are superb. The dance number was hilarious. However, if I am being honest it had funny moments but I felt that got over sold a bit (although I did laugh out load at the pretending to care about the Zack Snyder Justice League movie - I tried soooo hard to care about that but honestly I fell asleep mid way through). Now for the plot (Spoilers ahead) - I got it. I see other people saying they were confused. It all seemed pretty obvious to me. Perfect Barbie starts becoming less perfect, tries to understand why, travels to the real world and discovers its the opposite of "perfect barbie land run by women", Ken discovers patriarchy and brings it back to barbie land brainwashing the women and ruining it overnight, barbies fight to take it back and win, barbie and ken discover their own identities. Simple. So much of this movie is about the moment you realize life isn't perfect, and just why and how its broken and the emotional response to that. Barbie land is not perfect nor is the real world. Ken felt so isolated and purposeless that the second he felt an ounce of appreciation he took over Barbie land. The real world is not perfect...well we all know why - and Barbies experiencing seeing that is the point. In recognizing the intent of her purpose as well as the actual outcome (not all bad just not all good). This movie is about the human experience. Its not some man-hating women are superior thing. If you walked out of this film thinking that - you had that expectation going in and self-fulfilled it. And if you wanted Barbie land to be a utopia where they learned equality and let men take 50/50 (ya know after they literally took over and brainwashed everyone), that would be such a terrible end and not the point. Barbie land learned they weren't perfect and started taking steps, that's the point - that we should take steps to better our worlds (barbie land and real world). Barbie's experience at the end of the movie is the biggest message of the film - the choice to fully experience humanity knowing it is imperfect and needs a lot of work. Its fun - go see it. Kids wont understand most of it but likely will enjoy the style. Have some thought provoking conversations after and enjoy.

Meh - very average movie. Beautiful CGI but that's the best part. It's long and the writing can get rough. So much of the plot is flimsy. Action was good. Good one time watch. Also - why did they constantly leave Spider behind? Did no one really care about that poor kid?

Fantastic. The whole series is amazing. I binged it in two days. But the last two episodes, I am blown away.

It delivers what it sets out to do. It's a heartwarming film about family with an Indiana-Jones adventure vibe. I loved the diverse characters and the lgbtq representation and how it was handled. The animation is beautiful which is expected from Disney. Only reasons it got a 4 is I feel some of the emotional moments could have hit harder and due to some predictability fell a little flat or felt repetitive. Additionally, the music wasn't very memorable. Overall a worthwhile family film and wonderful addition to the Disney collection.

Its honestly an incredible game. I understand for many the story is controversial but personally I loved it. I thought it was emotionally challenging and had true deep human layers that are rarely addressed so well.

To start, I am a huge fan of the original series. It was such a well developed show with complex characters and themes. Now the movie - is literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The actors are awful and have zero chemistry or emotional range (there are some tolerable moments for iroh and zuko but they are just tolerable). They constantly mispronounce names and words which is just infuriating. They change core concepts (like having fire benders need fire and are not able to conjure fire with chi.....why would they change that!?!). They flip nearly all the races of nations for no reason. Aang looks like a sad puppy who just pissed on the floor. The original show had humor, after all the characters are kids. But every character in the movie is perpetually sad or brooding. The dialogue is cringeworthy and awkward, there is no subtly and so much over explanation. The overall writing is rushed and superficial. While some of the bending martial arts actually quite lovely, they make the characters do five moves before an element even wiggles. Overall it is awful and upsetting.
