So how many of you were in on Saturday evening?

I was.

And of you that were in, how many watched Masters Of the Universe?

I did.

And how many of you had a list as long as your arm of things that were either wrong with, or simply missing from this film?

All of you?

Anyone that remembers He-Man from the cartoonswould have to be disappointed by this film. There were so many characters left out of the film that made the cartoon great, and in their place, sub-standard characters!

Where was Orko? Where was Ram-Man?

More importantly, where was Cringer/ BattleCat?

And why was He-Man always He-Man? One of the most important things about He-Man, was the fact that half of the time he was just an ordinary guy!

Also, I don't remember that many guns in Eternia before! Man-At-Arms could fire lasers from his arms if I remember rightly, but there was more fighting that shooting!

And why take the story to Earth? The cartoons always portrayed Eternia as a beautiful planet! Maybe they just couldn't recreate it?

Mind you, it was funny watching a young Courtney Cox(? Not lately) run around saying "Look out He-Man, It's a trap!"

I thought that this was a complete waste of the He-Man license.

But I guess they know that people will flock to see it anyway, so why should they care?

Any other wasted licenses come to mind?

It could have been so much better had they followed in the footsteps of the cartoon. There were so many great characters who never got a look in - The only decent character to come out of the film was Blade!! Why He Man was always He Man we will never know.
It would have been great to see Eternia recreated in all its glory, from castle Greyskull to Skeletors place!!

Other wasted licenses, Im thinking along the lines of the latest Dungeons and Dragons movie - although I havent seen it yet I think they should have based it on the cartoon series!!
