I have not seen any of those movies, so I invite anyone who has to please comment.
I liked Barbie, it was fun although the feminist message eventually became overbearing.
The Banshees of Inisherin is compelling in plot but seemed to me to be too long.
I hated everything everywhere all at once.
Oppenheimer was good, although it is less about the atomic bomb than it is about politics.
Top Gun Maverick is my favorite of these . Tom Cruise is a true movie star.
Thanks for your feelings about those movies. I've watched the preview for Top Gun: Maverick and it does look exciting.
