He-Man y los Masters del Universo

Recommended

At the beginning of the movie I was really not happy that it was that silly from the get-go. I personally would've really wished to get a "real" in-Eternia movie and not a "real world" thing. But relatively quickly, the movie did start to work for me. I really enjoyed how fitting the outfits of the named characters were done, especially Trapjaw, Man-at-Arms, Beastman and Mekaneck.…

Watching modern cinema try to resurrect 80s franchises has become an exercise in patience and, usually, pure frustration. When a new *Masters of the Universe* movie was announced, the promise was to bring back the grandeur of that world using today's technology. But instead of honoring the original, the studio delivered an exhausting, soulless adventure that feels ashamed of its own roots.…

What a shame that Travis Knight's **MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE**, at the time of this writing, appears destined to become one of the summer's biggest box office disappointments, struggling to recoup its reported $200 million budget in a crowded theatrical landscape. Perhaps the economics of supply and demand simply caught up with Eternia.…

I expected it to be a children's movie going in so I was already giving it a lot of leeway. I watched it to see if it was something that we'd recommend to our nieces & nephews....there is zero chance that any of us would feel comfortable sitting our nieces down in front of a children's cartoon-movie that doesn't seem to realize that sexual inuendo is not appropriate for kids.

This is not a great movie, but that doesn't make it less fun. This is nostalgia bait and anyone who tells you different has fallen for it. It is well produced, obviously. A lot of money has gone into it. The casting is great, the story does what it needs to. The bad guy is comedically comical. The line deliveries are hokey. All of these things that you expect from a Saturday morning cartoon from the 80s.…

Travis Knight's reboot easily becomes the highest-rated entry in the franchise's film history, and it earns it. Jared Leto's Skeletor steals the show, balancing humor and villainy in a way that lives up to the memes, and Galitzine nails He-Man's heroism and Prince Adam's emotional core. Daniel Pemberton's score embraces the '80s roots with glee.…

We learn quite quickly that the weedy "Adam" has only just escaped with his life and the sword of power as "Skeletor" (Jared Leto doing his best impersonation of the deceased Alan Rickman) invaded and seized "Castle Greyskull".…

Just a fun, light-hearted sci-fi actioner that harkens back to my childhood most of the time. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of story but I thought Nicholas Galitzine did a solid job as He-Man and shared good chemistry with Camila Mendes. Idris Elba as always was charismatic no matter what he's in. Not sure why they paid Jared Leto as it doesn't sound nor look like him.…

It's so woke, stay away stay away.... just joking, it's not woke at all. The "Girl Power" moments are when He-Man was Adam before he became He-Man and fit well with the plot, the crazy cultist actually did a great job as skelator... like he actually did a great job. It paid homage to the cartoon. It was colorful, I mean it seriously popped and I appriciate that, it made it look fun and drew me in.…
