The last cartoon they did a couple of years ago was a bait and switch.

All I remember from the cartoon network reboot was them constantly pointlessly spinning and juggling their swords

At least everyone looked like they were on super roids tho

shockingly..

I've not watching these reviews outright. too long for a movie I don't care that much about..
but, Shad liked it. Now, shad has terrible taste. and its not a great movie reviewer. But you'd expect him to go off on woke bs if it was that.


Az as well.



Neither are calling it a masterpiece. "dumb fun" more like.

I'm sure efap will still rip it apart. it doesnt sound like their kind of movie at all.

From what I understood, is that the whole on-boarding human portion of the first act is just ass.. it's a clear "hey kids!" moment.. and then once it gets to Eternia bits; it gets closer to the fun. Somewhere I heard someone say the words along the lines of early 2000s comic movies where they were too afraid to lean into the absurdities, but would constantly make nods and jokes toward it. Selfaware, but too afraid to go too far into it.

Just a reminder, this is directed by Travis Knight, the guy who also made the 'better reviewed than you expected' Bumblebee.

He's also the kid of Phil Knight, the (mostly-Republican-leaning) founder of Nike. Travis isn't making these for a paycheck, just nostalgia.

My complaints aren't about the possibility of it being good, but the financial wisdom of spending $170M on a decades old franchise no one under 40? maybe even 45? really cares about.

Big difference between 170m total and 200m pre-marketing. People keep citing 170 in this thread but that doesn't make it true.

This is over 250m spent easily after the Los Angeles drone show.

this movie won't apparently release on PVOD (so no early 4k torrents), its gonna go straight to amazon prime end of July. Not sure why its skipping PVOD, kinda weird but maybe they figure they get more prime subs than money from people renting/buying.

From what I have heard you have to frame it with a similar take to the MK movie. What , at it's core, are you expecting exactly from a He Man movie? Are you looking for some rebuke or embracing of some cultural side you're fighting for? Or are you looking to see He Man end up fighting Skeletor?
