LastMinuteSavior Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Which one are you more excited to see? ❗ Cast your vote regardless of whether you're planning to see it in a theatre or wait for the digital or physical release. And feel free to elaborate on your preference. I'm leaning towards Oppenheimer, but I'm very curious to see what Barbie is really about.

Popular Post HuntingFever Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) If I was to see either of them, it would be Barbie, simply because it looks like being a light, colourful and fairly gentle film, whereas Oppenheimer just looks dark, dreary and depressing, which are 3 things I really don't need in my life right now. Also, Barbie isn't nearly 3hrs long. Edited July 14, 2023 by HuntingFever Update. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IesuHado Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Good to see you my friend! I go Barbie cause I'm pretty sure it will be a good comedy to be honest. Also I need relax and peaceful thing in my life right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeanolt Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) I'll be seeing both, but first Barbie. I feel a lot of people misunderstand what Barbie is about. Greta Gerwig is behind the screen, so it's not going to be a marvel-like movie. Her previous movies, Lady Bird (2017), and Little Women (2019) are incredible examples of modern films that push satire & strong characters to their best, while being unconventional stories, without precisely a beggining-conflict-end circle like most movies. If you ever seen classics from Studio Ghibli you know what I'm talking about. Barbie will be, in spirit, an anti-barbie, anti-capitalism, a feminist movie about how the "Barbie" society needs to change in many ways, and it'll be portrayed perfectly. Using the brand to create something that's against itself, we'll see an interesting experiment. Oppenheimer well, nothing less than another Nolan movie. I love him so I'm a bit biased, but I can say that Tenet wasn't his best at all (his last movie). I hope he can reach new heights in a movie that looks to be the favourite in every oscar category, specially with Cillian Murphy as the main star. I read a few days ago that Oppenheimer, doing well in box office, could mark a rennasaince in modern cinema, where filmakers go back to create interesting stories, great concepts, athmospheres, like it was the rule decades ago. Studios will push for better movies instead of blockbusters, knowing they'll work and increase the trust in their viewers. It's the first non-mainstream movie in many years to have this huge marketing, mainly thanks to Barbie itself.

MarcusPunisher Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Bot for sure. Gonna see Oppenheimer first to get all the sad and devastating parts out first based on the reactions before transitioning into a fun mood in the evening for Barbie. Nolan's previous movie didn't impress me, but this will hopefully be better given that is based on real events unlike Tenet. Barbie could turn out to be Greta Gerwing's best movie. Her previous movies were decent, but very generic with the story and social commentary. I am excited for both so hopefully it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Redgrave Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I want to see both since Barbie has Ryan Gosling in it but I will probably wind up seeing Oppenheimer since I want to see the scene where he looks at the camera and says "I can't believe the huge bomb I created caused a massive devastating explosion that killed millions. Kind of awkward but I guess I'm like some kind of destroyer of worlds now." followed by him shrugging and walking off camera. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure you have to be baked to watch that particular cut of the film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hope "mommy" behaves this time ? ... or it's going to be a very long and awkward drive home for families. Seriously though, I have not watched the trailers for these movies, only the teasers, but I expect Barbie to at least be a bit sugestive at times. Maybe I'm wrong.

Caquis_1 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm excited for both actually but I already got tickets to see Barbie next Friday lol. Probably gonna wait a while for the hype to Oppenheimer to decrease a bit and then see it in cinemas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver-I-Chariot Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Whatever dumps on torrent first. But probably Barbie because I love Gosling. No homo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Barbie, for sure. Gerwig is in ascension, Nolan peaked decades ago. She always has something interesting to say, whereas he and has been on a slow downswing since Memento, and has had pretty lacklustre fare in his last couple of movies. I suspect both will be good, but only Barbie will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slava Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Neither TBH. Can I say I'd rather watch the latest Mission: Impossible? Okay, even though I like an average Gerwig movie more than an average Nolan movie, I'll probably end up seeing Oppenheimer years later for the acting. "Yeah, but look, zero CGI". Yeah, yeah, shut up, Nolan. A Barbie universe deconstruction doesn't sound too appealing to me, and I guess I'm not a Gosling fan enough to see it for the memes. Completely skipping unless people say it does something outstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 There’s actually an odd symmetry in these films coming out at the same time, given the subject matters and the reputations of the directors. Gerwig’s Barbie is almost guaranteed to be a cerebral and thoughtful film about a subject matter synonymous with style-over-substance… …while Nolan’s Oppenheimer is almost guaranteed to be a completely style-over-substance film about a very cerebral and thoughtful subject matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serrated-banner9 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 God when was the last time i saw a film? Oppenheimer sounds interesting and i will most likely watch it at some point Barbie on the other hand... probably never going to watch but if i did it would most likely be in my worst films of all time list. maybe i'm being too hypercritical as i'm clearly not the target audience for Barbie but it's pretty much guaranteed to be a comedy that appeals to small children, like something you put on for the sole reason of entertaining your children while you do stuff. 33 minutes ago, DrBloodmoney said: Gerwig’s Barbie is almost guaranteed to be a cerebral and thoughtful film about a subject matter synonymous with style-over-substance… i know nothing about Barbie's director but i kind of find it hard to believe that it will take it self seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
