    This was a Fun movie to watch, I think any MOTU fan of the 80's cartoon will like this updated live action version. Don't listen to the negative haters and critics, form your own opinion.

    This is a waste of time and... we'll... I was going to say talent but there isn't any. Just skip it.

    The talents that had to come together to create such a fun spectacle of wonder and joy is truly rare and inspired. The set design of Eternia is gorgeous, the character design is genius, and the chemistry of the characters and the humor is laugh-out-loud funny. Anyone hating this movie is either being paid to or they're miserable souls who seek to stay that way and hate anything that could bring a spark of life to their dark & hopeless lives. This movie is glorious in every way. Genius is a team sport and this team delivered. It's amazing when you see it(whether you know the cartoon or not) and gets even better the second time. It needs to be seen in theaters for its grand nature. Go now, don't wait. You owe it to yourself.

    Don't listen to the haters! This movie is fun, feminist, silly, action-packed, and TOTALLY self aware! If you didn't like it, well, you're either a jerk, or kinda dumb.

    Nostalgic with 80's theme and music. The first He-man movie you can get behind! My children also loved it 18 & 12 yrs old

    Skeletor stole the show! Great portrayal. We had no expectations and were pleasantly surprised.

    Smiling The whole way through. Laughs and good action. This really is HE MAN. I can only imagine the budget Disney and Feminist groups have put towards giving this film deceptive malicious reviews. Face it! This movie is the latest victim of woke review bombing disguised as "unhappy fans". I can tell you honestly there is NO unhappy fans. Fans love this film. Disney and political groups are secretly reviewing bombing this picture. Disney doesn't like the competition to their MCU and Star Wars franchises sbd feminist LGB groups hate to see masculinity and real male power on screen. Don't fall for the negative campaign.

    I have no idea why people are sleeping on this film but they are missing out. Its made for the big screen not streaming! Its literally the MCU of Saturday Mornings! Its Dungeons and Dragons meets Star Wars and everyone loves that about HE MAN. I think they made two big marketing mistakes 1) they didn't say HE MAN in the title and not many people know "masters of the universe" they don't recognize the brand without HE MAN in the title. 2) attaching Amazon's name to it made it sound like it might be made for streaming and thus ok to just wait till it's on prime. Big mistake! This is a blockbuster retro hit! 3) they skipped the advertising budget to create awesome merch. But merch without advertising isn't going to move...same with tickets. Every podcast should have had interviewed about this awesome film. And finally I think the fans themselves are to blame. The target demographic of 35 to 45 yo males are far too comfortable pirating and watching things online. Its not the same bronies. Get up off your blind bums and go see this in theatres the way it was meant to be seen. !!! I saw it in screen X and yes its worth it! Its. HE MAN done right

    This was Mattels shot at getting kids into the line but it has plenty of sexual jokes and the final joke is just offensive for any parent with young children. I honestly don't know what they were thinking.
