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

How about not linking to clickbait, or at least provide a TLDR.

Tl;Dr: One of the movies has Margot Robbie and the other has a 3 more rotten tomatoes.

My biggest hope for Oppenheimer is that it makes high waisted men’s dress pants broadly fashionable for a while.

Part of me wonders what a Greta Gerwig - Oppenhiemer and/or Christipher Nolan’s - Barbie would look like.

Chris Nolan Barbie sounds fun! I’m not certain that pink is in his colour palette, however.

I haven’t seen any of Great Gerwig’s stuff, though.

Edit: I’m totally blaming autocorrect for the typo, but I’m not going to fix it because the Gatsby joke is too funny.

The Great Gerwig sounds like the rarely spoken of sequel to Fitzgerald’s classic.

“Hmm, Oppenheimer or Barbie… Let’s check the reviews… Okay, I see. Oppenheimer it is, kids!”

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!
