Oh, Jesus Fuck.

These are Five reasons the movie will Suck.

If you can’t be faithful to the source material, make a different movie. The “corniness” was part of the charm of the original series. I don’t want to watch another boring, unoriginal film that rips off Batman Begins and/or Lord of the Rings. I want HE-MAN, and HE-MAN isn’t Bruce WAyne, nor is he all about vengeance.

The only people would like this pile of crap are people who hate He-Man. And screw them anyway.

this movie sounds boring and unimaginative.

It’s not the 90s anymore Heroes that are driven by their WANGST and and REVENGE are so over. Get with the program and somebody fire this fanboy before he can make any more stupid scripts.

I’ve waited for this for 25 years. I thought I was going to see this in ‘87 with the first movie, but obviously it never delivered. I have been imagining and writing my own version of a possible MOTU script, and amazingly enough it parallels Marks version. Its an amazing coincidence, and only means this has to happen. We need another kick-ass movie trilogy event like we got with LOTR. Star Wars dropped the ball, but with this script maybe MOTU will pick it back up and knock it out of the park! MAKE THIS MOVIE!!!

IDEAS THAT TRAVIS FIMMEL TO PLAY HE-MAN.

Do you guys have some ideas if Travis Fimmel to play the character He-Man in this film,but the story will take place in Eternia
and the characters Trap Jaw,Mer-Man,Evil Lyn Skeletor,He-Man ,Man At Arms etc.
Some people say that Tom Selleck should play Man at Arms so if Travis Fimmel will work on A list movies in the future he will play the lead as He-Man.
Will the He-Man movie get filmed in Australia and other places around the world?.Well lets go with the flow.
Thank You.
BRUCE ACOSTA
AUSTRALIA.

I was reading thrtough El Mayimbe’s review and it was mentoined that Joel Silver has the rights!!! I wonder if he gives it to Watchowsky’s!!! That would be freakin awesome… although, after (as much as I hate to say it) Speed Racer bombed I dunno…

but c’mon.. give it to the Watchowsky’s and ask for a R-rated Greyskull

ps. I remember even Watchowsky’s wanted to do a Conan movie back a few years ago

You know what? The fact of the matter is that they made a LIVE ACTION HE-MAN ENTITLED, “MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE”!!!

I really don’t care if you feel that it wasn’t that great…DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY WON’T DO A TERRIBLE JOB WITH THIS NEW ONE? Crap in the 80s is always 10X anything these days. Hell, I’d watch HOWARD THE DUCK over the crap they have today.

HERE’S A CLIP OF THE FIRST LIVE ACTION HE-MAN.

a live-action He-man is gonna be cool if they adopt my version, hehehe! Its almost like the same as “Lord of the Rings meets The Matrix meets Batman Begins” but in a wider range with a gigantic proportions. I turned it into a dark fantasy and a much rational events. I was planning it to make a trilogy because the story has 2 generations. The 1st and the 1st half of the 2nd book focuses on the story of Adam/He-man from his childhood to his fall and also facts and history of Eternia. The 2nd half of the 2nd book focuses on the 2nd generation, heir to Power of He-man and the rise of his greatest enemy, Skeletor. The 3rd one is the most exciting because of the its the final chapter. hehehe! (hehehe-man! ). Anyways, I haven’t finished the first draft of the 1st book so make the goddamn movie! just make it something we haven’t seen before.

I don’t know if any of us (those of age anyway) are overlooking the original “Masters of the Universe” flick with Dolph Lundgren (don’t forget that Frank Langella played Skeletor). But, I’m pretty sure those of us who grew up on “He-Man” and subsequently saw said Dolph flick were just about as disappointed as the first time we walked in on our parents having sex.

The only thing it had to do with “He-Man” were the names for Christ’s sake. Gwildor was an 80s Flock of Seagulls synth-wielding rip off of Orko (why rip off Orko…he blOws) and the casting, aside from Frank, sucked balls. It was a horrible movie and absolutely deserves to be remade. I remember liking it as a kid…but, then again, I WAS A KID. If I had to watch it today, aside from as slight zing of nostalgia, I’m pretty sure I’d contract SARS and die.

Forget Dolph Lundgren (unless you’re saying “I must break you”) and hope that today’s Hollywood does a better job. Granted, the word “hope” is key. Regardless, to hell with the earlier movie.

It was a great movie, and it was pretty spooky and exciting for a child. This new He-man cartoon is not as great as the original, but that opinion is subjective. If a “NEW” movie is made, I will see it out of curiosity. I just wanted to state that a live action He-man already exists, it was titled “Masters of the Universe”. You can probably find it at Bestbuy for like 8 bucks now, it was not very popular due to poor marketing budgets back then.

A “He-man” live action film already exists! Everyone is overlooking that blatant fact. I grew up on it, remember seeing it in theaters and it was quite awesome. To have an animated cartoon I loved made into a live action film was incredible(especially with only having my other franchises made into cartoon films, i.e. GIjoe and transformers)! The make up on Skeletor was great, there was no Orko(which as a child, was saddened by) and He-man himself was played by the original Punisher, Dolph Lundgren(that’s right, Ivan from ROCKY IV).

I like superhero movies and all, but an original script for once would be nice. Not an adaptation from an old movie or comic.

I’m Adam, Prince of Eternia, and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull. This is Cringer, my fearless friend. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my sword and said “BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!!!!”

Wait a minute… “fabulous” secret powers?!!? Is He-Man a gay super hero? They should totally make him gay.

Do anybody realize that Panthor is not in the He-Man cartoons.
Panthor is a ThunderCat.

Realize that you are wrong, and that panthor is skeletor’s beast on which he rides

After reading the full script review I say it’s a go from me but ultimately it’ll come down to directing and casting. It will definitely need to be a “go big or go home” production. I really hope they don’t half ass this.

Here’s a little checklist:
1. Find episodes of the original he-man cartoon (bittorrent, I’m sure)
2. Watch said episodes
3. Realize just how bad they were
4. Realize this movie was already done once (starring Dolph Lundgren!)
5. Forget this movie

needs merman, mekanek can die, replace him with man-e-faces (but ditch his acting background.)

That sounds like a promising script, but who will pick it up? I wonder if anyone owns the licensing rights to the franchise.
