Here is what critics are saying about the movie showdown of the summer. Which half of “Barbenheimer” ended up on top?

    The great thing is that one can see both movies. Everything is becoming a competition. It’s like Beatles vs RS all over again. Why decide who’s better when you can have both??

      It’s just marketing. They want these movies to dominate everyone’s attention, and the juxtaposition between these two is ludicrous enough to get people talking

    • Right? I’m a history teacher. I will almost definitely be seeing Oppenheimer in the theaters and buying it on Blu-Ray later. I might watch Barbie if it’s on a streaming service I subscribe to.I have zero nostalgia towards Barbie and don’t really care about the movie, but ive heard good things, so… maybe I’ll watch it someday. To say that they are competing for the same audience is ludicrous at best.

      Agreed. They’re not even the same genre!
