Comment on ‘Barbie’ vs ‘Oppenheimer’: Which Movie Got Better Reviews
BoneheadedTwizzle@lemmy.world 11 months agoI think it is because they are so different. The contrast is amusing so people are having fun with it. It’s like the Matrix vs Momma Mia release or Doom vs Animal Crossing game release.

If anything, it's been really refreshing to see. Twenty years ago, your average film bro would be calling Barbie dumb, girly, and gay, and now it's being widely acknowledged that a female-directed movie with explicitly feminine aesthetics can absolutely be quality legitimate Cinema™ and go toe-to-toe with a literal Christopher Nolan biopic about a scientist making a bomb during WWII.
