Masters of the Universe

JPV852

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. The action scenes were well done and special effects were quite good. I'll probably watch again once it hits home video ( 4K). **3.5/5** Side note: I saw this at the Cinemark Screen X (guess their version of IMAX). Interesting concept with not only the giant screen but visuals on the sides for certain scenes. Not sure I'd pay for that upgrade but I have become accustomed to the D-Box seats if only to have some separation from people beside me.

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. It respected the cartoon, it respecte the IP, it respected the fans, it really didn't shout politics, it didn't pull a Kevin Smith and insult He-Man for being masculine.... ... in short it was just a fun and entertaining film that was made for the nostalgia seeking fans. However, some of the jokes didn't work, they didn't fit, they felt too MCU, especially in the first half. It was a little too long, especially for what it was, and took forever for the plot to really set in. But who cares, He-Man seems like a PRIME target for the anti-male, anti-white, anti-straight, anti-everything crowd to target.... and IT DIDN'T. It was pretty fun and politics free and I honestly was SHOCKED. I went to hate watch it. Watch it, it's just entertaining. You don't get lectured. It's refreshingly not woke crap.
