Masters of the Universe
Directed by Travis Knight
After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam back to Eternia, where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor. To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela and Duncan/Man-At-Arms, and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.

negative · AI labelView post →Very similar choice to hiring Jared Hess to do A MINECRAFT MOVIE but I feel like it's the same problem as MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE where the GI JOE property's sell-by date is already pretty decisively past.

positive · AI labelView post →Christ on a cracker, ONSLAUGHT rips. The bastard child of John Carpenter and James Cameron, this is a the movie that should have played third at a Drive-In in 1987 after ROBOCOP and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. And that’s the whole point. Bonus 80s points for Reginald Valjohnson! So much brutal fun!

neutral · AI labelView post →One thing about Masters of the Universe is people keep talking about how weird it is the film performed so badly when the reviews were “so good” So I checked the reviews on rotten tomatoes and it has an average of 6/10. Which is about right tbh.

Masters of the Universe finally returns to the big screen after decades of development hell, but is it too late to revive a property that is so tied to the 80s, no matter how good it is? And can a He-Man movie, in fact, make too much fun of itself? youtu.be/CxhqZowucVo
