Huge applause to @DANIELPEMBERTON , whose music plus Brian May’s guitar really set the tone for the whole movie— a dynamic, driving energy that really delivered key scenes. And Jared Leto channels his previous performance as the Hatbox Ghost to be the scene-stealing Skeletor.

また、この映画の脚本家や監督に、可能な限り「本物」かつ「楽しい」ヒーマンの物語を伝えようとすること以外の意図があったとは、私には到底思えませんでした。

ヒーマンの玩具シリーズは男児をターゲットにしており、子供の想像力につきものの、健全な「力への憧れ（パワー・ファンタジー）」を存分に謳歌するものでした。

この映画は、そうした要素を覆したり批判したりしようとはしていません。

むしろ、もし何らかの批判が込められているとすれば、それは現代社会が、男らしさや少年の想像力を抑圧するような構造になっていることに対してでしょう。

ヒーマンの玩具で遊ぶ喜びとは、悪党や怪物を思い切りやっつけられる点にあります。

そしてこの映画は、観客をそうした単純明快な空想の世界へと誘い、楽しいひとときを過ごさせてくれるのです。

この映画に一つ難点を挙げるとすれば、マーベル映画によくあるように、せっかくのドラマチックな場面が安っぽいジョークで台無しにされることが何度かあった点でしょうか。

とはいえ、「ヒーマン」の世界観には元々コメディ要素や独特の奇妙さがあるため、映画にユーモアが取り入れられていること自体は、それほど問題ではありませんでした。

この映画は最高にクールでした！
「ヒーマン」について全く知らなくても、何の問題もなく楽しめます。
キャラクターや世界観の紹介は分かりやすく、物語のテンポも非常にスピーディーでした。

ブライアン・メイによる音楽も素晴らしかったですし、惑星エターニアの映像も豪華で見応えがありました。

ジャレッド・レトのスケレター役の演技は強烈で、彼が映画全体をさらっていったと言ってもいいくらいです。
もちろん、他のキャスト全員の演技も素晴らしかったですよ！

I generally agree with @TheCriticalDri2 which gives me hope for this movie.

@WriterRevenant @RollingStone @jondelarroz Here's hoping. If it's good my daughter deserves to go to a She-Ra movie in a couple of years.

I can't authoritatively speak on #MotU until I see it tomorrow with the family but here are facts:
D&D and #TransformersOne were tanked by PR and review "influencers"

Both @RollingStone and @jondelarroz are telling their respective oppositional audiences to avoid the movie.

Hope nobody minds if I screenshot this on Friday at 19:15 and revisit it Monday.

Masters of the Universe has officially flopped at the box office.

The $170M-plus He-Man reboot opened with just $31.1M domestically, landing at the bottom of expectations and below the warnings.

The previews already pointed to trouble. The full weekend confirmed it.

I didn't know Rolling Stone had become a PR firm.
MGM should give them a raise.

‘Masters of the Universe’ Is He-Mansplaining at Its Worst

This attempt to make 'Barbie' for Eighties-nostalgia–loving dudes is not a movie. It is extremely bad brand management.

How about you combine "The Demon With A Glass Hand" about a 'man' sent back in time that will save the human race and "Soldier" about a future war/warrior ends up in modern day bringing his war with him, both by Harlan Ellison you could call it--

[Patrick Johnson @chickensith]

I could be wrong, but an awful lot of people seem invested in this film failing.
Guess we'll see this weekend.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Shadiversity on Masters of the Universe: "This film CELEBRATES masculinity. Skeletor is a classic unrepentant villain. Man-At-Arms says 'Poets don't save people,' 'You win with muscle,' 'Protecting and saving your family is what a man does.' This film is BRILLIANT."

Tom Connors of Midnight's Edge: "It's one big fat meme. He-Man is a fool and a bimbo soy boy. They turned it into a big gay allegory. This is a f---ing Taika Waititi movie. They gave us Barbie 2."

Director Travis Knight told Empire in February: "Skeletor's kind of the embodiment of toxic masculinity."

The film is tracking toward a $25-30 million opening on a $200 million budget.

Who do you think is right in this debate?
