Chynna B All the different video game animation styles were cool to see. I enjoyed the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 09 minutes from video games!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Ryan S Wow just wow. How can I explain this film, animation 7/10 writing 2/10 however the voice acting was great! The new Barbie Movie will shiver at this one shiver. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review TimeFlies A That was actually better than expected. I found the animation style a bit weird first, but got used to it at the end. The character designs of the NPC's wasn't the best either, until it changed for each game. That aspect I liked at least, that the appearances depended on the game. What's also different about this movie from her other movies, is that the ‘normal' Barbie crew was not here. Chelsea was at first there and 2 of her friends, but they weren't part of the actual movie. For example, Ken didn't play anyone and Barbie didn't end up with a romance. It was only about winning the game together with her team. And her teammates learning what friendship is about. 👍 What I did not like, however, was that Barbie always had to win. Sure, she had a team and it was clearly stated, that she cannot win without them, but if it's officially her team, can't others win as well? Why does it have to be her all the time? The music was pretty good, although it didn't stand out much. I wished they used a different song for the credits, 'cause they already used that one song at the end of the movie, and, even if it was a catchy song, it was enough to hear it once. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Cyrus K Weirdest just dance commercial ever. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review Audience Member Better dubbed in Spanish with English subtitles and featuring a Latin American voice-dubbing cast!!!!!!!!! All families are admitted, allowed, awesome, and not ****ing ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, funny, original, romantic, and full of action-packed sequences.
