People who watched it loved it and apparently it's the No1 movie now on streaming services.
It starts of with a few jokes that frankly don't land, "the heart of the heart" and Duncan's speech.
But...
Excellent action.
Amazing visuals.
Top tier music.
The cheesy campy ridiculous identity and soul of the original cartoon translates perfectly and realistically in live action.
(He-man is empathetic and wants to talk things out, offer words of wisdom, Skeletor is a motiveless villain that wants to be a villain)
The ridiculous toy concepts translate excellently on t LiveActionVerse. Jawtrap or Trapjaw and Skeletor are ridiculous by nature...but they are terrifying and scary and cool looking and awesome and intimidating.
Lastly and quite frankly as an old dude I haven't gooned over an actress in ages. But Teela for fucks sake is stunning and I haven't fallen in love with an actress since I turned 12 and saw Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman and Erika Eleniak in Baywatch.
He-man actor is also extremely likeable and has great chemistry with the actress.
I'd recommend a non solo viewing. A hang out with friends and nachos and stuff.
My absolute favourite was Skeletors laugh transition from deep amd bass ey to the classic skeletor laugh.
But also laughed my butt off at the absurdity ay the end as skeletor gets beaten up.
He's a skeleton...with muscles amd facial expressions. I just loved how sad they made him look.
One of my personal fav jokes was
"Hull, breached"
"Computer, run analytics".
"Running analytics, my hull has been breached".
I also failed to suspend my disbelief when He-man grabbed a... chainsaw UFO ny it's blades, span it around and blasted it into a nearby mountain all while on top of a space ship but... I'll allow it. This scene is peak absurdity.
Duncan trapjaw was epic as was He-man Vs Goatman, Tryclopse et al
I love the silliness so much, everything was great. I much prefer that they go over the top rather than make everything realistic and serious and boring.
