I was the exact opposite. I wasn’t excited, but curious to see it, and damn was I impressed. The acting, the details, and the character interactions were all brilliant. My only complaint would be Will Farrell, who felt shoehorned into a role he wasn’t suited (heh) for.
To me it just seemed perfectly serviceable. It wasn’t a bad movie but I just wasn’t blown away at all. I was expecting some kind of deep nuanced take on gender roles and heart strings being tugged. But it was all kind of silly and unsurprisingly(since Mattel paid for the movie) felt like Mattel jerking themselves off. It was just very very silly and cheesy but not endearing enough for it to work I felt.

Then you missed bits. Margot’s nuance was spectacular.
I agree her acting was great and she played a character like Barbie really well which I think is pretty challenging.
