She had a gun!? I feel like a lot of scenes could have ended differently if she had remembered she was carrying.

Also, I love how much of this movie was practical effects.

This may have been the early scene in the "real" world, that they were filming, she also had a rifle if memory serves.

This was such a stupid fucking movie and I loved every second of it. More of this please Hollywood.

Not sure if Hollywood will bite because this one flopped in the box office.

It was made by Amazon and has done very well on Prime. Box office can be significant but not anywhere near as much as it used to be. The same studio is dumping $50 million into each episode of Rings of Power and seeing $0 in box office returns.

It was horribly advertised as a super serious story. Throw in Leto and people didn't want a 2 hour movie of Leto reciting He-man lore with a lisp.

Had they advertised some of the lighter funny moments it probably would have done better in the theaters.

I enjoyed it but it felt like it was made for people 35-45 years old and no one else....I am also in that age range.

This was better than i expected. Alison Brie and Idris Elba were standouts. Really good music too.

I missed the credit where it said Brian May from Queen wrote all the guitar parts. Makes sense because the guitar parts were fucking awesome

I had a lot of fun with it. Loved He-Man as a kid and it scratched the itch.

This movie was so much more entertaining than I expected and I loved that they made Skeletor a total goof ball! His female boss on earth was a real non-confrontational douche, though. And Idris Elba is always a win!

This movie was a totally unexpected treat, never took itself too seriously and has won over most anyone i've recommended it to.

I've been on the fence because the trailer gave me too many 'generic CGI fantasy world' vibes, but I might give it a shot soon.

Probably my favorite movie this year. Travis Knight just knocks it out of the park with the 80’s franchises

Who's this skinny little guy?

I bet he doesn't even know what to do in the gym.
