I loved this new iteration. I watched the first series as a kid and have had the complete series, the New Adventures, and the Cartoon Network version since the early 2000s. I loved the first series like everyone did but it was a nonsensical mess quite often. The CN version did a great job of creating a backstory and a logical progression through a series, not a hodge-podge show that was put together to sell toys. This version does a good job of expanding on the first series while giving the depth of the CN version. I've seen a lot of whining from the usual suspects, but as always, they've proven they never paid attention to the source material in the first place. Quite a few episodes in the first series DID NOT center around He-Man; EVEN Orko had his own episodes. So the BS complaints about it being a Teela show are stupid & show they clearly never watched the first He-Man & ***The Masters of the Universe*** i.e. his friends, which was what the show was about. They even explicitly SAY IT at the end of a few of the episodes that told the moral of the story... Teamwork, friendship, etc. The show was NEVER solely about He-Man & it's clear these poor reviews are from people without the wit & emotional intellect to actually pay attention to something & glean what you're supposed to. Probably, the same people that had issues in English class doing a simple book report because it always went over their heads and failed because they completely missed the point. Enjoy the 1st part of the new series, you'll see many of the Masters of the Universe all getting their chances to shine.

It was fun, I like the little change up in the history. Overall a good movie.

I read the book shortly after it came out and hoped it would eventually be made into a movie. What we got stayed true to the spirit of the story. I can understand the reasoning for the decisions they made on what to alter to fit a movie experience. It was really good, I thought, with great performances. Loved Rose, Crow, Abba, and Dan's portrayals. The ending homage to what Stephen King wanted in the first movie was also nice. I am sad to see that not many people have gone to watch but it seems like it was a slump in movie sales in general, the past couple of weeks. Hopefully, people were just saving up for Thanksgiving because this is a great movie worth seeing in the theater.
