Just came home from seeing Master of the Universe in theaters and it was SO GOOD.
Absolutely nothing in that movie was bad.
I got a sweet Battle Cat popcorn bucket too! Looks right at home next to my Castle Grayskull
Go watch Masters of the Universe in the theaters! This movie deserves all the love that it can get.
Stay through the credits... it is totally worth it!
Spread the word!
Masters Of The Universe:
Alright, I enjoyed it.
The race swap on Man At Arms being typical Hollywood as we all expected, Elba did do a good job. Acted his ass off even. Same with Ram Man.
They kept the corny nature of the plot and characters and openly leaned into it. And the movie took just about every opportunity to make fun of HR and woke retard culture. It uses this to point toward how good masculinity is needed to defeat evil. Which is great.
Jared Leto kept the quirky Skeletor we all love, though the voice being different took some getting used to; but all and all I didn’t hate it.
I’ll give the movie entire a 9/10.
SPOILERS:
Now, the only time I saw a hint of wokeness was what I’m gonna call the friend-zone scene. They could’ve went the route of hero gets the girl and saves the day, but okay.. whatever.
Seems like Teela is giving him signals to make the move, he reacts like a man should and starts to go get her, and then abruptly from her “we’re just friends” which is of course lame and gay.
I do like how Adam is kind of a doofus and slowly figures out that masculinity is both good and what needs to happen to defeat evil. He starts out doing the HR conflict resolution bullshit that he’s been brainwashed to do. But then as he realizes what he’s actually fighting against only uses the HR “let’s talk this out” shit to keep the moral high ground, after his enemies refuse it he goes the f🤬k off and destroys them like he should. I like that, very good writing and character development.
All in all it seems like the writers nailed it that Adam’s real enemy was himself and that he just had to defeat that weak little bitch that society attempts to brainwash into us. In my opinion there did need to be a scene of him pointedly moving on to a new woman interest to shed the simp vibes over Teela. Like, “okay, she doesn’t like me, let’s move on, her loss.” It’s a numbers game as every guys knows, ask, accept the answer, move the hell on.
I also like how Man At Arms has a redemption arc of moving from failure, to alcoholism, to getting his shit together and being a man again. That’s an important message that you never hear anymore.
I think I would’ve liked to see more of Sorceress, mostly because Morena Baccarin is hot, I refuse to explain further. She did do great with the screen time she was given though.
I did like the Dolph Lundgren cameo that was funny.
The music was an 11/10 banger mix, they even played the “What’s goin on” song from the meme. And “I’ve got the power!”, and any movie is immediately made better when Queen starts playing. Let’s hope the new Highlander keeps that last part in mind.
All in all, faithful to the cartoon but still tells a gripping story about moving from failure to a conquerors spirit. And anything making fun of woke retard HR brain rot immediately gets a thumbs up from me. Men are supposed to be reckless and goofy, but also destroy evil in the process.
And I especially like the focus on how evil cannot be reasoned with, only destroyed outright. 9/10 movie, not as goofy as Guardians Of The Galaxy, but just goofy enough to embrace the cheese of the cartoon while telling a serious good vs evil story.
Took my A-List family to see Power Ballad @AMCTheatres. Good story telling, an overall good movie. AMC was very busy - box office is back! Terrific variety of films welcoming many different ages from various backgrounds. Not sure what to watch, check out Power Ballads #AtAMC
Curry Barker confirms his next film ‘ANYTHING BUT GHOSTS’ is set in the ‘OBSESSION’ universe and features a One Wish Willow.
Starring Barker, Cooper Tomlinson, Aaron Paul and Bryce Dallas Howard.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but Jared Leto as Skeletor is a CAREER DEFINING ROLE. He absolutely NAILED IT. He was funny, self aware silly, but still menacing as hell. He was a blast every time he was on screen I was smiling cheek to cheek. ALL TIME VILLAIN worthy performance.
First theater experience in a long time where people were cheering and belly laughing. There’s a lot of fun to be had here. #Heman far from a perfect movie, but the main message is, “be a man”
…in 2026?
That was a refreshing surprise.
Review on @Criticless_inc soon 💪🏻
As an 80s kid, I’ve been waiting for this one. Ready to unlock some major childhood memories with Masters of the Universe on the big screen! Got the perfect snack setup ready to go. Let's do this ⚔️🍿 #atAmc South Bay #AMCNOTLEAVING#AMCApes
40 years ago my grandma would take me shopping for He-Man action figures…
40 years later we’re seeing the #HeMan Movie Together 💪🏼❤️
It’s The Circle Of Life
i loved masters of the universe, fuck any discourse, if you wanna have a good time, go check it out, as a younging i only know He-Man from Whats goin on and other robot chicken references, and i fucking loved this movie
Masters of the Universe. Noon at Saturday on the AMC.
First, I’m going to say when the movie was over there were some people cheering and clapping. Not common in my experience and evidence people enjoyed the film.
For an 80’s cartoon nostalgia reboot they knocked this film out of the park. Great action and fights, doesn’t take itself super seriously. Lots of laugh out loud moments, great costumes and sets.
I did not grow up watching he-man. I grew up watching it because my younger siblings watched it. Even as a passive viewer of the cartoon like that this film was very enjoyable and brought back a lot of good memories.
There will be sequels.
There are three end credit scenes to stay for. #MastersOfTheUniverse #AMC. $AMC
11:45 PM screening of Scary Movie @AMCTheatres. Basically every seat taken. The audience reaction was insane! Something streaming can NEVER replicate! #amc
@SanchoPanzy@SonRanto@richt0212 The poor pay for everything, it’s called hyper inflation. You probably believe money grows on trees.
“The tax code has been deliberately designed to not hit the poor very hard” lol Now I know you’re just a dumbass.
@RealEnfuegoMMA@CelinaBarajas1@GovPritzker Even then it isn’t enough to justify subsidizing them. The only thing this team has been good at is milking its fanbase. 🤷♂️ The research is there it’s a net loss for the state it only benefits a small area.
People like you are just flat retarded.
