Hollywood moviemaker Oliver Stone has recently hit out at movies like Barbie, which he thinks, contributes to the “infantilization of Hollywood”.

In an exclusive interview with City AM, Stone said, “Ryan Gosling is wasting his time if he’s doing that shit for money.”

“Ryan should be doing more serious films. He shouldn’t be a part of this infantilization of Hollywood. Now it’s all fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, including all the war pictures: fantasy, fantasy,” stated the moviemaker.

Stone also took a dig at the Fast and Furious franchise, explaining he used to enjoy the movies, but now, “they have become like Marvel movies. I mean, how many crashes can you see?”

Other than that, Stone also addressed John Wick, the Keanu Reeves-starring franchise.

“On the plane I watched John Wick, which is three hours and some. And I fell asleep about 778 times during it,” he continued.

Stone mentioned, “I kept waking up and having to face him killing more people. It’s like the world has degenerated into non-logic.”

For the unversed, Stone earned four Oscars which included Best Adapted Screenplay for Midnight Express and for Best Director for Born on the Fourth of July.

Moreover, Stone made a new movie, titled Nuclear Now, which was a documentary about climate change.
