Barbarian (lemmy.zip)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by IWW4@lemmy.zip to c/movies@piefed.social
 

Yesterday I checked out Weapons and was really impressed by how good it was. So today I checked out Barbarian.

WHAT THE FUCK was that idiotic shit? The first 45 minutes or so was really good, full of tension and man I was on the edge of my seat.

And then the rest of the movie happened and BWHAHAHA it was so absurd and idiotic.

It is very clear the Creggar has an affinity for creepy looking female monsters but some critter who has lived its entire life in a cave under a house has super strength.

Whatever you do skip this crap.

So was it the point or supposed to be the point?

What was the point it was making?

Well I guess it’s up to interpretation but one theme I took away from is

Tap for spoilerThe first half of the movie the woman protagonist is untrusting of the situation with the male. He eventually wins her trust over then dies.

In the meantime in the 2nd half, the douchebag character Justin Long constantly betrays her trust through various acts as the absurdity completely amps up.
