Masters of the Universe - Drunk Monk - 06-01-2026

This is surprisingly better than expected. Not that much was expected. Come on. It's He-Man. It's a lot like Mando, a roller coaster ride of effects and sword fights, with a lot of Easter eggs that might not make sense to the uninitiated. Rollicking action parsed by humor, some of which lands, some falls flat. But don't think about it. It falls apart as soon as you think about it. Honestly, if you're thinking about a movie based on a Saturday morning Filmation cartoon...
Teela steals the stage from Adam. Skeletor needed to be more whiny and it could've used more Cringer. Morena looks aged from the Sorceress, but carries the role with class. There's a great nod in a gym scene, and Fisto is played out well. The action is the funnest - lots of physics defying superhero fights. The ending is totally predictable, as are the end credit scenes which tease sequel ideas, all of which I am down for.
Only D00M recommended if you know the franchise and can recognize the Easter eggs.

Did I mention they gave me a free sword? A Sword of Power!
Now I have two.

You can never have too many swords. At least that is what I've been told.

Especially swords of power
I HAVE THE POWER!
