I feel like the movie should have ended with a PSA like
The cartoons.
There was a mid-credits scene that actually did that. Should be on youtube.
They did a ton of "setup" for a sequel that almost certainly isn't happening, at least not a theatrical release.

I may have messed up and not stayed after credits. It was after midnight when my showing ended.

Probably because there's never been a financially viable He-man movie (in three independent attempts) and Star Wars was arguably the most powerful movie intellectual property in the last fifty years.
Star Wars is the "has been" and He-man is the "never was" movie property.

That makes sense, you technically missed 3 after credit scenes

It will be a shame if it doesn’t get a sequel. It definitely deserves one. Finally a director with a strong love for the source material makes a movie that’s true to that source, and it bombs. Meanwhile the Star Wars franchise continues to pump out woke garbage again and again, with no end in sight.

this movie is gonna lose a shite load of money.
sucks.
sucks.

What it honestly is. In my opinion is. If the followed you tube critics like it. Then the people that usually hate on movies even if they don't see them will like it or at least not hate on it. If those same critics hate it or call it any degree of woke we have 4 posters who will loudly trash that movie and will post dozens of times how bad it is. Yet some may never watch it.
There are truly bad movies that deserve taking
Trashing. Those get ignored because no one wants to discuss a universally disliked movie.
Look at the Predator Badlands posts. Most of the ones who hated it didn't see it.
People were hating on this movie until the YouTube critics said it was good.
I miss when everyone just formed and shared their own opinions and not just repeated Nerdrotic or Critical Drinker.

Watched it, hated it.
I gave my review on this before youtubers released theirs as I saw an early screening.
People were not hating on this movie until "youtube critics said it was good" for no reason. Some were hating on the marketing where I believe the actress and director were talking about toxic masculinity, then the critics tried to say it was a "deconstruction" of the toxic male.
Besides, several of the Nerdrotic crew hated on this quite a lot actually.

Hell, the 80s movie had Skeletor popping his head up from underwater in a (then very rare) post-credits scene. Obviously nothing came of that either.
Posted on 6/13/26 at 8:41 am to Proximo
But are we going to get some fresh Skeletor meme material?
Posted on 6/14/26 at 9:06 am to Proximo
I didn't bother with reviews before going to see this last night, I just wanted to take the wife out to a fun movie.
Remember the Game of Thrones horse?
Now imagine those different levels of artistry checkerboarded, that's He-Man. It was as if lots of people with different takes on the character, theme and quality control were trading off who would be running the editing at any given moment.
The early scenes of Adam's childhood and the fall of Eternia were solid (you can do only so much in portraying the powers of Ram Man and MechaNeck in a serious manner). Man-At-Arms fighting Trapjaw was a fun contest, the fighting choreography made sense and allowed both characters to shine. Driver's Skeletor and the CGI for him were really good throughout the movie (except for one time when the glowing eye points looked like they were floating over the blackness instead of being within it).
Adam's time on earth was humorous and most of the action involving Beastman and Teela was well done (CGI and choreography). They did a really good job of making Teela look like a warrior but not overpowering her.
Adam's "welcome" was an unexpected change. Instead of all of them bowing and scraping because Prince Adam had returned, they were all rightly skeptical.
Once they escaped from Skeletor's crew, things changed.
Any CGI of Adam flying in the jungle was shite. I'm not talking "that looks a bit off," I mean it looked like he was performing in front of a TV screen and it was for every single scene he's not in the ship with Teela and Man-At-Arms.
The fight between He-Man and Skeletor's crew in Snake Mountain wasn't bad, but the bit at the end with his father? What the frick was that? The moment as his dad died dragged on like Deadpool's death in Deadpool 2 and then he wanted to tell his father something but then instead of fricking telling him he spends the time begging his father not to die before he tells him. And what the hell was it? At no previous point during the movie was there ever some personalizing speech from Adam about something he wished he could have told his father before fleeing Eternia, but now we have a big pivotal scene based on this thing which never happened?
The speech in the cell was as if competing writers were fighting over making it inspirational and making it a humorous jab at stereotypical HR speak culture and then failed at both. Miserably.
The big fight scenes with all the heroes fighting Skeletor's minions wasn't bad, except for the bully-girl. Why was she even there? Her spinning knife thing was on par with the spinning gunfire scene at the end of Argylle with the poor execution being topped only by how poorly the idea was for such a background character in the first place.
The final fight (sans the mind trick flashes) wasn't bad, the attempt to reach out to Skeletor by empathy was actually fairly well done and was very much in alignment with Adam's character. The essence of Skeletor's response was beautiful and should be noted by upcoming writers: sometimes a character is just evil.
The ending was pure dreck. While the rest of the movie spent time making the movie it's own take, the end tried too hard to throw back to the cartoon. The laughing circle was forced and lasted far too long, making it go to a quick amusement to just uncomfortable. The thing about Adam and Cringer running off to secretly change was a useless throwback in this remake, but I did like how the other characters noted the ridiculousness of it.
In the first credits scene we finally get Orko (who would not have fit well within the rest of the movie) and his message was that what we learned was that muscles don't make you strong... except that was exactly what we learned. Smaller Prince Adam didn't beat Skeletor, the power of a beefed up He-Man did. Sure, he had to learn guts and determination but he wasn't winning without being stronger (both physically with magic) than Skeletor.
The She-Ra post credit scene was done well, but was only a minute or so, so you can't really critique it.
Overall, the movie had its moments and had potential, but it seemed to wander more and more as time went on taking it from "good popcorn fare" to feeling like phoned-in shlock.

There are a few very vocal posters here that let YouTube decide whether they should like a movie or not. I tend to ignore those people because they frick this place up. If a movie interests you, go see it. If you enjoy it, don't feel bad because retards have to have a YouTube guy/gal tell them how to think

Allied to its 46.7M cume at US #BoxOffice, the live-action with a 170M production price tag not including marketing hits a timid 86.1M Global cume. Eyeing a 115M-135M Global run
“But Luizzzzzzz, what about the 170M price-tagggggg?”. Should be common knowledge by now, but as we always remind people, Amazon and Big Tech in general see theatrical just as extra money and a way to add pedigree and cultural relevance to their titles before those titles hitting their domains. Big Tech’s endgame will ALWAYS be what the movies will bring to the table once they debut on Big Tech’s own platforms, including subscriptions, sales, time spent exploring the platform and the juicy personal-targeted ads! In 2025, #Amazon generated $68B from ad revenue alone, a +22% growth from 2024 (and 2x what the Global #BoxOffice made over the same period)
They definitely don’t rely on theatrical money financial-wise, nor greenlight movies accordingly to theatrical #BoxOffice prospects. They do rely on eyeballs seeing and watching ads in their apps and websites, and the more culturally relevant content they have to keep increasing ad-watching, the merrier.
Deserves to have at least made Black Adam money, I think the Obsession/Backrooms fever couldn’t have helped.

Saw this Thursday. Really enjoyed it. I really liked how they fit in the silly names. Also, Skelotor's little hints of gayness towards He-Man were hilarious.
It was a silly sword and sandals film. Very entertaining. Leto and Idris killed it.
I just wish they had more scared Cringer moments. The part I laughed most at was Skelotor in Adams head and being gym bro and asking wtf is an HR office.
