So it's going to be a Dungeon & Dragons cartoon thing? He gets sucked into the other world? I was hoping they'd follow the Lore from the actual cartoon.

When I was a kid, I used to love watching He-Man. I even had a Mumm-Ra figure in mummy form that I got for mailing in cereal box tops. That was some good shit.


...and this was the Cereal.

First things first: The decision to go with the OG look for every character and not try to make them look different/new is an S-tier decision.

But I'm still torn. There are some obvious things that make me think it is going to be a "modern audience" movie; but then there are some things that make it look like they may have learned their lesson and that this is made for boys/men?

Why does this dude have a dad bod? Either the CGI stuff isn't in this, or they are trying to make men feel normal and not have to be 1% body fat to be a hero?

OK, so we're getting the Aquaman "I had to hide you somewhere safe" trope... Good enough. I just hope they don't spend 2/3rds of the move getting him to the point of getting the sword and back to Eternia.

I don't know how to feel about Idris Elba as Master-at-Arms. I enjoy Elba as an actor, but why that role?? He's supposed to be Teela's dad, but she is clearly white. Also, we have to get Man-E-Faces, right?

This looks like a steaming pile of Battleship. That’s the vibe I get from this movie; Battleship.

Problem is…

I actually like that horrible fucking movie.

I am so conflicted about this movie.

I don't remember Masters of the Universe being quite so spaceshippy.

It really sucks that we've gotten so used to raceswaps that we're like "eh its just Man At Arms". Why not just cast actors that look like the fucking characters? Are there no white dudes with mustaches left?

Bro… Battleship was good. Embrace it.

There is a decent possibility this isn’t utter dogshit, but my son and i are not going opening weekend. We’ll wait for reviews.

i'm with Juv if this was the trailer back in the 80's - the ~18 yr old me would be in line for the movie opening day, and the boys 8-12 would be wanting to see it.

looks like it MIGHT not suck...however, trailers do that. it MIGHT be good, it might be great, however it might flat out suck.

and i liked Battleship. the getting the old battleship running scene is awesome. esp with the ac/dc song.

and he-man didn't have spaceships per se. they did have flying ships/cars

Skeletor looks GOOD.

Skeletor looks GOOD.

Dude, he does. And they showed brief shots of Beast Man and Trap Jaw that were instantly identifiable because they look like they did in the cartoon. That is the best thing that trailer had going for it.

He/him on the name plaque... We'll see if they play that for laughs or totes serious.

Design is great but the only way to do He-man is put somebody like Jay Cutler in the role or CGI up the wahoo.
