    I want the power to turn my head and hear dramatic music. :(
  • Shadowcat671
    dont we all man dont we all :( , nice review tho NC
  • williams22  - w00t, second comment
    great review, i always love wathcing these. do not stop making new nostalgia
    critic.
  • Gene
    I never knew they made a live action He-Man movie... oh god... what were they
    thinking?!?
  • makani
    $$$$$$$

    ...and not much else.
  • Ghostmayhem
    By the way, what's with all the Gay and Mccain jokes?
    Yes, we get that you're for Obama...
    Funny video, though.
    One of the best parts (IMO) was the dramatic head-turning montage.
  • Oatmeal  - The essence... of blasphemy
    How dare you call it gay. He's a guy with very little armor and furry underwear,
    so what? That kickass sword more than makes up for it. No, Masters of the
    Universe was religion back in the day. At least it's better than that robot
    cartoon, Transvestites or whatever.
  • Kurvos  - ... right.
    You know, mr "Oatmeal"; it's really pathetic when you try to make a show
    look good by comparing it to a great show by make fun of the name. And the sword
    is just a stock sword. And a sword can never make up for a fucking bad designed
    character. Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds? "Yeah, He-Man might
    look like a muscular sissy with a gay haircut; but at least his sword is
    cool."

    You know; fanboys like you should just hide under your bed til you get real.
  • T5seconds
    The sword is obvilsy compinsating for somthing...
  • grande42xcom  - I can't believe you forgot...
    Critic, that was a great review, but you forgot the best part! The film maker's
    left it open for a sequel!!!! I think you need to make an addendum to this
    episode. How do I know this? Because I saw it in the theaters...when I was SIX
    YEARS OLD.
  • kevin_video
    Yeah, I hated this movie as well. And no, He-Man's not gay. Possibly incestuous
    for his sister She-Ra, but not gay.
  • Ghostmayhem
    Great quotes:
    M. BIson: "OF COURSE!"
    NC: "Mr. Clean" (referring to the bald cop-guy)
    Dark Helmet: "FOOLED YOU!"
    NC: "A gay-metalla Chiquita-Banana-nator...!"
  • kevin_video
    OMG grande42xcom, you're completely right. I totally forgot about that too. It
    wasn't a bottomless pit, and Skeletor rises up from it's depths for the sequel
    that thankfully never came.
  • ThatFellowInTheCoat
    That was more of a chuckle-worthy Nostalgia Critic, but the head-turning montage
    definitely made me laugh really loud.

    And the John McCain running gag was a highlight as well (and I like him as
    well).

    Well, I'm off to put this film on my rental queue now. :)
  • Ren Fraggle
    This was one of the first movies I remember seeing where you were supposed to
    wait until after the credits to see the movie's punchline.
  • Underqwertyuiop
    That was such a great review. I think it's one of my favourites now.
  • TylerDirty529  - Woot!
    Great episode, Nostalgia Critic. The dramatic head-turning montage was awesome.
    xD
  • chakotay24  - THAT WAS DA SHIT
    I never say that piece of shit and I'm glad I didn't. The only thing good about
    that conan reject is having Robert Duncan Mcneil as the boyfriend.
  • Meta
    Well, what really surprised me was that they didn't stop the show after that
    point. They actually went on to make a renewed version of the original cartoon
    series, only except the story was told differently. But what do I know, I
    haven't seen the 80's series, I've only seen the series that came out in the
    2000's later on.
  • bleed0range
    "Fooooled you!"

    Funniest part for me! haha.
  • spiceninja
    I've never understood the appeal of He-Man. He's so stupid and this movie is
    awful.
  • Sephiroid  - Oh come on...!
    Ok sure, the cartoon was Conan The Homosexual, but the movie, it was ok back
    then. And you gotta admit, Sceletor was much better than his "I'm He-Man's
    little bitch" cartoon counterpart. I liked it that they made somewhat darker
    than the cartoon.

    There are worst sexual imlications in a cartoon. Like the Smurfs.. 100 male
    smurfs and one female, Smurfette. Is this screaming gang-bang or what? Okay,
    Blue gang-bang. Whatever... You get my point.

    Now if you want a gay cartoon, that would be SpongeBob Squarepants. Or Chris
    Crocker...
  • KiloWattKid
    This was a pretty good NC one, the McCain jokes were priceless but the gay jokes
    went overboard


    anyway, it was nice
  • drachenfels
    I'm just wondering - would you have been happy if they did call Gwildor OrKo?? I
    mean if they did call him Orko you'd just say that they didn't make him look
    anything like he's suposed to. I think with this type of thing it's better to
    introduce a new character instead of fucking up an existing one.
  • vonFiedler
    Even the the remake series was better than the old one, and who played He-Man in
    that?

    Cam Clarke.

    He-Man, gay as hell.
  • nsonic79  - the M. Bison quote shall never get old...
    When I saw your releases I thought you'd be talking about the cartoon series.
    Little did I realize what you've created. It helped me see the movie in a
    different light. Never realized how it appeared to be. I feel so dirty
  • Punky  - lol
    damnn I remember watching this movie and thinking he-man can be my girlfriend.
    I'll better invite him to a pijama party. Good times ;D
  • TyVulpine
    Heh, there's the (quick) scene from Star Trek: Generations when the planet blows
    up...
  • D.Glover
    Quality review as always.
    Good to see somebody knocking this film for what it is. :P
  • OuijaSlayer  - Very good as always xD
    I wish I had the power of dramatic head turning. ;D
  • Goldenbane
    NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I was wanting this to be old fond memories of the He-man cartoon show, not that
    stupid god-awful movie! C'mon, Critic, the He-man cartoon was awesome, why
    didn't you review that? This movie is best left forgotten forever!

    And He-man was NOT gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) he was
    Bi-sexual!!!!!
  • MrM  - Holy crap.
    I just suggested you review it, didn't think you'd actually go for it. xDDD

    Thank you so much , that was amazing.
