Barbiesparked an international controversy last week with the film getting banned in Vietnam due to a politically 'yikes' map appearing on screen. This week the movie has once again made headlines but for a much more positive reason - the critics are loving it.
Barbie has once again managed to turn a lot of heads, but it's not because of her bright pink outfit. First reactions to the film are now out on social media and most critics have extremely positive impressions of the Greta Gerwig movie. The Margot Robbie-led flick is looking more like a bonafide blockbuster.
The film has been one of the most talked about summer blockbusters ahead of its July 21 debut. Many have been pitting Barbie against Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, a rivalry fans have dubbed Barbenheimer. Based on the early reactions, Barbie may give Oppenheimer a worthy challenge this summer.
I can't officially quit Twitter before telling you all that Barbie is currently my favorite film of the year," Comicbook's Jamie Jirak said. Greta Gerwig somehow exceeded my expectations. She tackles the positives and negatives of Barbie so beautifully. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I'm dead serious!
