First time revisiting since theaters
Every single second of this movie is gorgeous to look at
I still find this to be a significant step up from the first one (which I like!) in almost every way - better set pieces, richer character work and emotional beats, stronger performances, it's all leveled up for Part 2 - excited to see what part 3 has in store!
Family movie night, finishing off this series (for now!) with the kids
This wasn't quite as bad as I remember it being in theaters - maybe because my expectations were lower this time around, but I had a pretty fun time! Still filled with a lot of bad writing and hokey dialogue and general nonsense, but there are a handful of genuinely thrilling action/dino scenes to keep things moving along - the Malta chase is chaotic fun and there are…
Demi Moore is awesome here - I kinda loved the direction of the entire cast, there's a very bombastic/over-the-top energy at play that really worked for me
In a movie full of visceral & gnarly images the grossest thing I saw might have been Dennis Quaid eating shrimp
Holy shit dude what a finale!
What a delight!
Margot Robbie brings so much depth and interiority to her role, and Ryan Gosling is totally committed to his absolutely bonkers version of Ken, it's wonderful to behold - in lesser hands Barbie & Ken could have been played like glorified SNL caricatures, but thankfully this movie and these performances had a lot more in mind
Literally every single time they even cut to Micheal Cera's face, I laughed - very happy to see him back at the movies!
