Most people seem to like Greta Gerwig's Barbie, unless you count random anonymous internet strangers
, the “Audience Score” for the Greta Gerwig film is hovering around 86 percent positive , as compared to 90 percent from critics. But, if you bringratings into it, which is to say random strangers hiding behind entirely anonymous usernames, that number drops to 74 percent positive.That’s not an extremely dramatic dip, but if you skim through the user reviews, there are a handful of aggressively negative ones.
The movie not knowing what “demographic” it was for is an oddly common complaint, and there’s one that simply says “all in for equal rights not for delusional thinking.” Of course, people are allowed to dislike things, even things that get generally positive reviews from critics , but this kind of thing does happen relatively frequently to movies aimed at anything but a straight, white, male audience or with anything but a straight, white, male lead.
