The Critical Drinker alerts us to the EVIL message in this

This movie is blatantly ANTI-MALE, and yet surprisingly, Rotten Tomatoes gives it 90% from both critics and audiences - manipulation, much?

reply

You should know by now the basic business model of movie rating sites is to take money from big movie studios, there is probably a market rate on each vote based on level and maybe locale, 10s, 9s ,8s, each probably gets a different price.

The "Critical Drinker" should try sobriety.

reply

What is going on here? There was a time when everyone would side with these anti-woke critics like him, and now it seems idiots have drunk the Woke Kool-Aid and are starting to accept this trash! What the hell is wrong with you?

reply

The problem is he, and others like him, have gone overboard. What were justifiable arguments against change for the sake of change became unpleasant misogynist ramblings. As far as Barbie is concerned, it has proven the woke-haters to be out of touch with John Q. Public and little more than a small crowd making a big, unpleasant noise.

reply

These clowns have always been profiting from preaching to a choir. If you think making "justifiable arguments" was their intent then you are just as gullible as they banked on you to be while churning out all the popular tropes for you to consume over and over.

reply

Woke haters are out of touch with John Q. Public. Or WB Slick Marketing duped people thinking this was a lighthearted Summer Blockbusters. Than the Patriarchy Drinking game it actually is. If it was Marketed for the film it was. It would made the same money as 2019's Charlie's Angels. Which nobody remembers and like nobody will remember this in 5 years. .

reply

YOU SOUND RIDICULOUS...YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PLOT OR THEMES OF THE FILM.

reply

Did you even watch the review? What is "misogynist" about it? Seems like he makes his point by using examples in the movie and I would really love for someone who has seen it to explain why it's wrong. Why is "John Q. Public" enjoying a movie that depicts men as so deplorable it's just normal for someone to have their ass slapped in broad daylight? Why are they being portrayed as inept losers and idiots while the females are presumably presented as more endearing protagonists? Why are people in a fever over such shit like this?

reply

Drinker really got way too repetitive. He says nothing new and anybody that still watches him are the extremists. Just saying the exact same shit about every single movie got old. He's a one trick pony. What people should be doing is talking about why this woke has happened and how they can deal with it in a mature, productive way. Just complaining about it gets you nowhere, actually it hurts you more than it helps.

reply

If it's true why try and say something else? He does what he's good at.

reply

At least he is honest about his opinions, which is more than one can say for Chris Stuckmann.

reply

YEAH...BUT HIS OPINIONS ARE ABOUT AS FRESH AS A MUG OF WEEK OLD KANGAROO SHIT.

reply

I don't care if his opinions are repetitive or unoriginal, as long as he is being honest.

reply

HIS HONESTY IS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS LANCE ARMSTRONG'S FAIR PLAY.

reply

You disagreeing with him politically doesn't make him dishonest.

reply

I DON'T KNOW HIS POLITICS...AND I HAVE NONE...HE RALLIES AGAINST WOKE...WOKE IS A FAKE ASS BATTLE CRY FOR INSECURE WEIRDOS TOO WEAK TO STAND UP AND SAY WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN BECAUSE THEY KNOW ITT'S WRONG...THUS HE IS A LIAR

reply

Or just plain silence.

reply

I wonder: Does the movie really depict a society run by dumb, uneducated chicks as desirable??? I think only from the POV of dumb, uneducated chicks...

reply

Stop feeding youtoob trolls and they'll go broke! The Daily Mail has a better review that takes a minute to read.
