I enjoyed Barbie, but not as much as Oppenheimer. There were parts of the movie I thoroughly enjoyed and laughed out loud at and other parts that I thought were a little too heavy handed. Margo Robbie & Ryan Gosling were perfect for their roles, and I LOVE the aesthetic. Also I love how they keep casting Will Farrell in these bad-guy, big boss roles - he's perfect for them. Overall it was a lot of fun, and even my husband dressed in his only pink shirt to come see it with my mom, mother-in-law and me!
Oppenheimer totally sucked me in, though. Afterwards I didn't feel like I'd just sat through a 3+ hour movie. Now I'm looking for interesting audiobooks to download on the subject. Excellent cast and incredible performances. I really enjoyed how Nolan did the black & white and the colour scenes. Nolan is a master of tension, and leading up to the test scene my heart rate was so high that my Fitbit thought I was working out and encouraged me to keep going. Such a great movie.
Also as a side note: the trailer before Oppenheimer for The Exorcist: Believer looked amazing! Can't find it on YouTube though, looks like it's exclusive for Op for now.
