Barbie - Il Segreto delle Fate

I think I understand the messages they were trying to get across with this film, women can be heroes, forgiveness and that you have to make an effort with friendship, but all they imaged to get across is that the important things in life are shoes, dresses and boyfriends. Barbie doesn't even care when her two friends leave at the end of the film.

The writers just took the storyline and the characters from Mariposa and A Mermaid Tale, added Ken and some inane dialogue to make it sound clever - "ugh, too many apps". I assume the action figures and merchandising are already available in the foyer??

All the things that made the early Barbie thing special - character development, original storyline, catchy songs, emotion, humour etc are missing. All we're left with is an empty, shallow 70 minutes of bright noise.

Avoid. For your children's sake.

This movie is my favorite out of all barbie movies I watched this when I was 2 turning 3 and I'm watching as a teen, and I still love it would totally recommend to all little girls around the world. This movie is full adventures and friendship it's so cute the songs are catchy and everything about this movie is just amazing. I don't want to spoil the movie in the reviews so I can't say all the reasons why I find it amazing and all my favorite parts of the movie. If you hate this movie, I'm just going to assume you're an adult or just don't like the barbie franchise in general, but this is by far one of barbie's best movies.

It's one of those movies that leave you wanting more. The development between Barbie and Raquel was better than I expected. I liked that it didn't just focus on Barbie. Ken's little segments were always a joy. I do wish we got more world building and logistics but this is a Barbie movie. The fashion fairies were fun. I will say I want more of this and I was left with questions about the villain. I feel like they could've done more with her character too. I think this is a really fun and funny movie to watch with friends. The characters are intriguing. Ken was not all that though. TLDR really good, wanted more but that doesn't matter.

This movie is incredible, it changed my life. About 10 years ago or so, i went to prison for tax evasion (yes, like shakira) and just recently i had gotten out and the first thing my newborn daughter (she was a miracle as i was in prison and my wife still got pregnant 😁) wanted to see was this movie. I fell in love with it. Its the only thing i watch now. I watch every it night before bed and at every meal and every single morning. This movie has influenced my life in a way jail never will. Im a changed 43 year old man now.

In a vacuum it's a 2/10. But since it's so much fun to mock it while watching it, it gets a boost.
