neutral · AI labelView post →Inspired by Sean’s memory of the 1987 MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, what was the movie you saw as a kid that made you realize it was possible for movies to be bad? For me I think it was THE ICE PIRATES (1984).

neutral · AI labelView post →We know the Masters of the Universe movie is gonna be bad, because it’s He-Man. But I’m worried it’s also gonna be no fun, because it looks like every superhero movie and Jared Leto is not Frank Langella.
negative · AI labelView post →Very similar choice to hiring Jared Hess to do A MINECRAFT MOVIE but I feel like it's the same problem as MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE where the GI JOE property's sell-by date is already pretty decisively past.
neutral · AI labelView post →Christ on a cracker, ONSLAUGHT rips. The bastard child of John Carpenter and James Cameron, this is a the movie that should have played third at a Drive-In in 1987 after ROBOCOP and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. And that’s the whole point. Bonus 80s points for Reginald Valjohnson! So much brutal fun!

neutral · AI labelView post →One thing about Masters of the Universe is people keep talking about how weird it is the film performed so badly when the reviews were “so good” So I checked the reviews on rotten tomatoes and it has an average of 6/10. Which is about right tbh.
neutral · AI labelView post →Back to the Future? Yes! Top Gun? Absolutely. But, for me he will always be Lubic from Masters of the Universe. This guy knew how to commit. RIP James Tolkan 🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

positive · AI labelView post →Nicholas Galitzine & Camila Mendes explain how ‘MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE’ honors the original cartoon. “The Filmation cartoon always ended with a morality message that was super sincere, so I feel like you can't make a Masters of the Universe film without tapping into that.”

neutral · AI labelView post →New Projector Review! Masters of the Universe finally returns to the big screen after decades of development hell, but is it too late to revive a property that is so tied to the 80s, no matter how good it is? And can a He-Man movie, in fact, make too much fun of itself? youtu.be/CxhqZowucVo

neutral · AI labelView post →I bring word from Gay Eternia. The He-Man movie, Masters of the Universe, is absolutely phenomenal. It is the queerest film I have ever seen. Everyone needs to go see it immediately. This is the movie of Pride.
positive · AI labelView post →MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE seems to be catching people off guard that it’s actually pretty good. I spoke its director, Travis Knight, about all of this, “If I heard this was coming out, I’d probably be a little bit cynical.”

negative · AI labelView post →I appreciate that Masters of the Universe knows what it is, a fantasy movie for guys who have always wished they could punch really hard.
positive · AI labelView post →Masters of the Universe feels like if they tried to make a blockbuster movie about Howdy Doody in the 90s.
negative · AI labelView post →I totally get why it flopped at the box office, but I had a really good time watching the new Masters of the Universe film. Surprised me. It's almost aggressively silly and that made for a lot of fun. Travis Knight is good imo.

neutral · AI labelView post →A thing which is surprising about this film is that its heavy delusion that the Masters of the Universe toyline is intimately known by most people, and that the last film was some kind of beloved institution…actually sort of work for it?
neutral · AI labelView post →I was wary of a new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE movie. I was burned before in 1987 (and I am not on board with it being a “cult classic.”) Surprisingly, I had a great time watching the new movie. Trap-Jaw rules www.thehardpass.net/masters-of-t...
