Spoooiiilleerrrrrr







Big spoiler












He’s at the end for 5 seconds. I was disappointed he wasn’t in it as much because in the show, he was there all the time. He was a pillar. Even in the intro of the cartoon….only three know about Adam’s secret….

The Sorceress, Man-At-Arms, and Orko.

So they detoured from that a little bit and everyone knows in the movie.


If you’ve gotten this far, I took a picture of him at the end if anyone wants to see it. took it to show my older brother because we were knee deep into He-Man growing up.

So fkn fun. What a great nod to my childhood. Loved how they payed homage to the cartoon and kept the politics out of it. Fkn great!

This is all one side ever wants and the other side wants politics shoved into movies.


This was such a fun and great movie that made my childhood so amazing growing up.I don't see how anyone could complain about this movie. My only negative is no gwildor.

Damn I just saw it with my boys and we all LOVED it, but I didn’t stay until after the credits. What I miss?!

I heard one reviewer say they forgot to give Evil Lynn a personality, and she is just ends up being Skeletor's "Yes Man"

True?

He basically threatens and abuses her all movie and she just takes it, and then in the end credit scene...{spoiler below}

she goes back to Greyskull to pick up his skull which seems to foreshadow that she wants to bring him back to life.

Yeah pretty damn disappointing as far as box office. I’m wondering if Amazon doesn’t care that much about the receipts and is willing to spend on the franchise to develop future fans for toys etc?

Because Travis Knight was already talking sequel like 2 weeks ago ( and they already had projections by then). Plus the post credits tell us what is coming in a sequel.

Maybe Bezos really likes MOTU lol

This review coming from someone that was a little old for he-man but did watch it a tad bit as a kid. I went with a huge Masters of the Universe guy.

Some spoilers ahead:

He loved it BUT.. as someone not very familiar with the cartoon it seemed a lot woke with him being a conflict resolution HR guy, offerings Skeletor a chance and talking about what could be causing his anger, trying to talk about his feelings all the time, the constant sexual innuendo and how many times can you make a fisting joke. apparently a lot… funny the first time but eye-rolling after the 5th,6th etc.

I will say this. For fans of the original I think they will absolutely love it. For people not as familiar with the property, I don’t think they will watch it again or watch any sequels. They won’t pick up many new fans with this movie.

Also Evil Lynn was not as hot as I was expecting.

I blame Gen Z's. They would rather go watch some loser youtuber movie than Masters of the Universe or Mortal Kombat. Miss the 80's and 90's

I would respond to this claim by saying, that is what a classic masculine man would do. We only resort to violence when necessary—and He-Man tells him the time for talking is done and beats the absolute shite out of him since he proved to him he was irredeemable

Yep, Luke was the one that came to mind first for me too

This movie is awesome

And I am a toxic heterosexual privileged white male

It’s obvious whoever made this loved the source material
