Review Time

Warning: there will be flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/shooting/stabbing/impaling/disintegrating/regeneration/animal cruelty/robotics/disfigurement/squashing/burning/rainbow community. There will be some censored adult language references in this content; yes it is very rare I do this as it relates to rating content, but in this case; by doing this I am trying to make the content shorter in theory, because man we have a lot to get through and on top of that at some point I am not in the slightest being actively racist, but I am allowed to be observational.

15 years later Prince Adam returns to Eternos: briefly; Prince Adam/Adam Glenn/He-Man [Younger: Artie Wilkinson-Hunt/older: Nicholas Galitzine:] he/him returns to Eternos with the Sword of Power after this heavy chunk of exposition character developments on basically finding the sword; he gets assisted to go back to his native planet by  Teela [Younger: Eire Farrell/Older: Camila Mendes:] she is now Captain of the Royal Guards of Eternia and is the adopted daughter of Duncan/Man-At-Arm [Idris Elba:] he once was a proud heroic warrior/mechanic inventor and science, but nowadays is a drunk. Prince Adam gets to see first-hand what devastation Keldor/Skeletor [Jared Leto:] he is a incredibly powerful warlock which has ruled this planet will a fist of a tyrant and villainess anger as he searches for this sword.

Generally speaking: I'm not going to lie we honestly have so much to cover; it is ridiculous so let's start with the storyline/script; it feels like it has been written by a 16-year-old boy either drinking too much alcohol or smoking too much marijuana or quite possibly both at the same time that has also recently found masturbation on whatever level that the film has positive there is so much negativity to quickly bring down as you will see throughout this content after a while you just come up with one question of; basically what the hell were they thinking? The framework and pacing of this roughly 140 minutes film is good, because we have so much to get through and it really does help when the music has been done by Brian May [Queen; guitarist: as the person I watch some others contend with pointed that out to me.]

Art, action and comedy; look art as it relates to landscapes and scenery such as Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain and other locational places or costume designs minus He-Man, Cringer/Battle Cat [Younger voiced by: Fletcher Glenn/Older: Tom Wilton:] he is Prince Adam's best friend and He-Man's right-hand ally against the forces of evil; fully grown Cringer doesn't exactly move the most fluently or when Prince Adam first touches him: or anything to do with Skeletor is a big fat no from me; but other than that they are absolutely fantastic.

The action is for me very hit or miss; the conflict sequences are very hit minus the juvenile commonly references as it relates to fist or/and head or pretty much any reference to the use; I mean once is fine, but as it relates to fist it really does get boring after a while, also do we have to remind the viewers how dumb stupid He-Man is because not only as an action, comedy but also character developments this is pretty much all horse manure really and no surprise I will be bringing up this again soon; but for now I digress; the very hard-hitting indicated by stop sequence like knockout punches by He-Man on Skeletor are very cheap and tacky and uninspiring and the best bit of comedy; in this film by some distance is when we have Cringer doing the job of the MGM Leo the Lion and Cringer does have other comical bits and pieces.

Character developments, performances and voice performances; well I am going to give you one more warning to start off with; this is where in this content is going to get really uncomfortable actually I have just realised from here on in this content is probably actually I lie with 100% certainty going to trigger most of you out there in Internet land.

So let's begin with the elephant in the room; this film is woke, I don't care what anyone has to say it is woke, but conveniently yet again not using equality strange.... That isn't it? The female characters are how you expect them to be with well rounded versions of what they are meant to be with yet again conveniently got their business altogether and giving it boss babe energy.

Meanwhile we have key male characters that are flawed or very poor versions of what they are meant to be and the uncomfortable truth again by definition culturally appropriated [I hasten to add; I don't have a problem with this, but the fact is; this film made it a problem, because as I have just indicated the female characters are as you expect them to be, so consequently it sticks out like a sore thumb; so yet again consequently by their own actions I am not actually being racist or racial, I am being observational, again consequently I am not being racial or racist.]

Prince Adam/Adam Glenn/He-Man; as I referenced earlier man he is so dumb it hurts, including but not limited to Prince Adam and He-Man not being seen as separate characters, but then again the writer torpedoed that concept as soon as Prince Adam went through his metamorphosis into He-Man in front of a good selection of characters and then repeatedly have characters referred to him as Adam and the cherry on top of this manure cake just to nail it home how dumb he is; they made reference to why does he have to go and change in secret when we all know he is He-Man and the answer is; to just let him do his thing; so basically they have completely undermine and buried He-Man even before the ending credits.

But then again deep down we already know that the damage had been done way before then anyway, with his virtual signalling horse manure and at no point does Prince Adam/He-Man grew into the ideals of what He-Man should be even with his HR training from his time on earth, in fact when it comes down to which this version shows he is no better than Skeletor; so in essence this may look something like He-Man but in no way shape or form is it he; that is why I made reference to in the art bit minus He-Man; because in theory yes he may have the costume on, but he doesn't wear it or become it; in fact he may as well be a little boy with way too much power and responsibility; but doesn't know how to deal with either responsibly.

Keldor/Skeletor; well as I was already deeply concerned about this interpretation as I made individual content on it; to be brutally honest yet fair this interpretation is by am far the worst interpretation I have ever seen and yes I have even seen The New Adventures of He-Man 1990-1991; 1 Season; 65 Episodes, but I digress; every time he opens his mouth, he just reminds me this is not Skeletor in the way he speaks, unnecessarily trying to be funny, don't get me wrong Skeletor is/can be funny, but and this is a massive but which they completely missed, was his comedic timing it was always spot on an authentically natural, but this interpretation feel so contrived, uninspiring and nauseating; he just isn't nowhere near the standard of Skeletor it is that simple and this entire image needs to go as well whilst we're on the subject.

James Purefoy as King Randor, the ruler of the Eternian kingdom of Eternos alongside his Queen; Queen Marlena [Charlotte Riley:] she is an ex-astronaut from Earth that rules alongside her husband and is the mother of Prince Adam and another: but this interpretation of King Randor sucks lemons; he would be disappointed in Prince Adam yes, but never like this and on top of that what they decided to do with him in this movie is also insufferably dumb.

Duncan/Man-At-Arm; I don't mind Duncan being drunk or let's put it more kinder a recovering alcoholic; they obviously went with the concept of making him a high-ranking long-term soldier, that took it incredibly hard when things went side with and by taking this route; they wanted to give him more of a authentic real edge would makes him more three-dimensional other than just being this virtuous intelligent character; we get knocked down we get back up again; moving on, Jon Xue Zhang as Ram-Man; another heroic warrior for the forces of good and known for very powerful head-butts  and Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops; one of Skeletor's minions while known for having a turning optical vision system depending on the task is depending what optical vision system he will use, this interpretation is a Bounty Hunter/Sniper based on those skills I have mentioned, but broadly speaking he can also be a scientist type of character as well.

Before I continue I'm going to make this crystal clear; yes I have gone on record saying that unless it is a cultural character or a character such as gender required such as Batman then pretty much it is open to interpretation, but then again I don't think I have ever been in a position where such as this; where it clearly sticks out that these female characters have been perfectly designed in every way shape or form yet the male characters by comparison are problematic, I have just remembered the thing that comes close is the entirety of Marvel's/Netflix's Iron Fist [2017-2018:2 Seasons; 23 Episodes.] But as it relates to this film I feel really sorry for these three characters in particular, because it does feel like they have been hanging out to dry, because this film isn't that good and then on top you have this; I mean I have already seen one person make a reference to black appropriation and Zhang is Asian-British so I'm guessing here sooner or later people are going to have a problem with that as well.

I don't have a problem with this as I keep referring to, but it would be stupid of me not to point out or discuss this thing that sticks out like a sore thumb and just for the record these three put in good performances; we could have done with more Tri-Klops in this movie, but that's by the by.

So the performances and voice performances; on the whole range from let's be completely honest here, minus the character developments I really have problems with which conveniently equal to some absolute steaming pile of horse manure performances, the character developments, performances and a voice performances of those that; really took what was given to them and ran with it and strangely enough made these characters/interpretations and versions their very own; put in very good performances.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I would have given something slightly higher if in short Prince Adam/Adam Glenn/He-Man and/or Keldor/Skeletor weren't complete and utter dog's diarrhoea; I will make a bold statement right here and right now both performers should have never been given these roles, I mean the person I go to watch some of this content with, by comparison really wouldn’t have minded Patrick Stewart as the voice of Skeletor, I mean if they were going to go this way I say why not at least Stewart would have given this role some depth and very much needed class and sophistication, I also need to point out this person minus Skeletor was actually a good movie. But one thing is for certain they are going to absolutely transparently clear... they are without question going to clean up at the Razzie Award when they roll around and other negative award events/ceremonies and there are some colourful ending credits, with two extra scenes to watch out for and I have just realised I have failed at my attempts to keep this content short or at minimum less; so if you have read the entire content; well done, thank you it is really appreciated.
