You don't know what the final message of the movie was? That barbie has been at the front lines of what it means to be a (Western) women for 60 years, and that you should keep buying them. If conservatives who hated it had watched til the end, they would have realized it's message also included the idea that an over correction to matriarchy would not be a true resolution to centuries of patriarchy.
The movie may have been over hyped, but it was pretty good. I mean, we didn't expect Barbies and Kens teaming up to build a guillotine and execute Will Ferrell at the end did we?
That might have bumped it up to a solid five stars for me, actually.
Well you know
