Masters of the Universe (2026)
Yeah...
So... this reminded me a bit of Thor: Ragnarok (and not just because of Idris Elba) in that there's a science fantasy realm being invaded. If, you know, Ragnarok was rubbish.
It tried too hard to be funny along with action. Which worked in Ragnarok ("He's a friend from work!") but in this it felt forced. It tried to lean too hard into the comedy, instead of letting it flow naturally. Skeletor was trying to be a hammy villain but couldn't pull it off. Especially as he looked like a man with a rubber skull mask and two LEDs on stalks. Which was probably what he was; it's just not supposed to look as if he is.
Not great and I can't see either sequel hook panning out into one.
