Honestly, the trailer was better than I thought it was going to be. Looks like a fun, no brain type of film with a nice homage to to the cartoon.

I honestly thought we had a thread... I mean hell, I saw it somewhere....
Anywho...this is one that I really support getting a modern upgrade. Looks like it will be a solid popcorn flick that has the legs to rewatch on TV for years.

Oh, man. Can't wait for this one. I know the first one was pretty cheesy, but I really liked it. Dolph wasn't a very good actor. My youngest son had all the He-Man character figures.

This looks to be pretty solid movie from what I've heard. We'll see if it actually makes coin though. Will it suffer the fate of D&D?

Welp, got my tickets for me and my son on Sunday...

This movie is going to be absolutely horrendous, so this is more about my curiosity than anything. Hope it will at least be fun. I remember watching the trailer and the sword pretty much was a stick. Not cutting into things but just slamming enemies away from him. Plus I think the lead actor might look the part, but what little acting we've seen looks terrible.

Enjoy every minute of it.

I saw the film on Monday. My employer produced the movie so we had a day of special screenings for the company at Culver Studios.

I'm happy to say, IMO the flick isn't horrendous. Not gonna win any Oscars, but I think you'll likely be entertained at least. It surpassed my expectations, but to be honest I am not generally a fan of super hero and comic book movies so I was expecting dreck. It's a little long at a tick over 2 hours, and the fight scenes got tedious for me.

There were some humorous parts, and if you are a fan of the franchise you'll find a lot of hidden tips of the cap to the legacy. And like the Barbie movie, there is a section of the film where our hero lives in the real world which I liked.

Enjoy!

Maybe you can at least enjoy the popcorn?

So how did it go? Did your son enjoy himself?

My son liked it.

A lot more humor than I thought there would, and it was moderately entertaining. But there was a lot of dumb stuff and the acting was not the greatest. Best acting in the movie was probably Jared Leto and he was unrecognizable. lol

So is it "horrendous"? Maybe not, but it wasn't good.
