Masters of the Universe is the Best Flop of the Year
>>221790725One of the very few films I've walked out of the theater on. Not sure what I was expecting but it became one of the worst movies I've seen in my adult life from just the first half hour. The absolute epitome of slop.
>>221790725I enjoyed it a lot. I dunno why people on here hate it so much. The hate feels very forced
>>221790725It was way too silly they should have cut out half of the humor
Que trolazo
>>221792360it reminded me of wonder woman, only it was for men
>>221793034Queer eye for the all-inclusive guy humor
>>221792860>hate feels very forcedMovie is the very definition of corposlop.
>>221792360This. When they started making fun of pronouns and female HR office culture, I collected all my dildos and stormed out of there!
>>221790725Best cinematic flop of the year, best flop of the year across all mediums is Luna Abyss
>>221793270What movies aren't?
>>221790725Did they even play a cover of "What's Goin' On"?
>>221794214The music selection is a big indicator of just how little they gave a damn.
>>221794214>>221794262this song was the only good thing about he moviehttps://youtu.be/EwSpzK8rFl4?si=E9uNDnGUbINzpYyq
>>221790725I really enjoyed it. Felt like the perfect tone for adapting the 80s version. The action scenes were surprisingly well edited, and I liked the lead a lot. A shame it flopped.
>>221793034That's actually a good analogy. I was really laughing about how ridiculously over the top they went with how macho all of the king's guard and skeletor's minions are. Lost it at>that's the sword of power? I thought it'd be bigger>it just looks that way because my hand is so big
>>221792860Yeah I enjoyed it even if it had some flaws. Similar to the Dungeons and Dragons movie.
>>221794640Fight scenes were pretty good. The casting and acting was decent. It was just a by-the-numbers hero story, though, that we've see 100 times now. The music was cringe as fuck. >adam asks what's going on>what's going on starts playingThe Earth stuff was lame as hell and really slowed the movie down.
>>221794767>The Earth stuff was lame as hell and really slowed the movie down.The scene in the comic book store was great. I thought the flashback to Adam's youth was longer than it needed to be but that's all I would have cut. Well maybe the gym scene with Dolph. That felt gratuitous.
>>221794891Just seemed like a lame way to resolve him finding the sword. Some random dude calls him up and tells him where it is. I can't decide if it would have been better without it completely or if they should have spent more time on it.
>>221792860No one here watched it. Basically any praise or hate it gets is from people pretending to have seen it
>>221790725Should have gone full kids movie , like PG cgi cartoonor slashed the budget and gone R rated adult movie with blood/violence (have it be a throw back to straight to VHS 80s fantasy films)
>>221796120it should look stupid and funny like the cartoon but be adult and the actors play it straight
it was fun
>>221793275they didn't do that
>>221793027Sape
>>221790725I was really enjoying it, but once the chase scene in the ship starts, it really begins to feel like CGI slop. The only good scenes after it are when he hears his father's dying words and when Skeletor decides to go into Adam's memories.
>>221792360It was literal garbage. They should have taken the material more seriously, instead of endless stupid quips and jokes.
>>221796939I hated the movie when it opened and there was some stupid kid who couldn't act and some guy telling him cliched things like pick yourself up when you fall.
>>221797036>have taken the material more seriouslythe material being a fantasy cartoon for 5 year olds made 40 years ago to sell them toys
>>221794765Honestly thats probably the best comparison for what MOTU was. A very obviously flawed film where the script was mid but the actual work that went into designs and sound were genuinely done out of love and respect for the source material.Like fuck I expected MOTU to be absolute dogshit and came back surprisingly satisfied more than most capeshit and especially Supergirl, which might be the worst film I've sene in 9 years.
>>221797092hey, the 1990 Ninja Turtles movie and 1987 Masters of the Universe were aimed at more mature audience compared to their cartoon/toy lines. Any fan of He-Man is literally in his 40s at least, they should have made it fucking R-rated and Teela should have been naked.
>>221797201>Any fan of He-Man is literally in his 40s at least, they should have made it fucking R-ratedback in the day they would have, but now they have to apeal to everyone and thats why everything is dog shit
>>221796939>>221797036Spkepetor thinking Adam being in "human resources" meamt he was running a slaver's guild or something made me laugh.
Sadly yes it's a great film. It's going to be one a cult classic.
>>221797201>>221797246They wanted the middle aged he-man fans to take their kids to see it. There was clearly some of that at the screening I went to, but its just not that big of an ip to justify a $200M marvel style movie.
>>221797347I think it was bad timing.Put this out when MCU stuff was actually popular and it would have made 600 million.These type of films are a lot less popular than they used to be just a few years ago.>Its an old IPthe basic premise "buff guy fights weird monster men on an alien planet" is a basic enough premise that you don't really need to know the original toy line/cartoon to understand it
>>221790725is this the best movie this year? I don't give a fuck
>>221797499Best flick of the yaar so far. Maybe Odyssey will be the better flick but I doubt it
>>221794214Any he-man movie that doesn't use Snap!'s the power during he-mans during a fight as he-man doesn't deserve to succeed
>>221797499This and minions 3
>>221794726That seems funny.
>>221796887Did you skip the first 20 minutes of the movie?
>>221796887They literally did, though I guess comically obvious HR caricatures are too subtle these days
