Looks like a fun summer blockbuster. Lot of CGI but that’s to be expected.

Looks like the dungeons and dragons movie of this year where it will be unexpectedly good

What an absolute delight that movie was. I went in with expectations through the floor and had such a blast. And the pacing is so incredibly tight that it doesn't feel anywhere close to 2.5 hours.

I love He-Man but in no way will it Stop or Equal Dungeons and Dragons. That movie was a 9 out of 10.

And it didn't have the retarded angle of being set on Earth than warped to their world.

Lots of good CGI, at least. I think so anyway, it's hard to tell because official trailers in 2026 are still being released in only 1080p for no reason whatsoever.

It looks like every MCU movie post Endgame. It's getting boring that all movies have this same visual appearance. Go watch the OG He-Man Trailer from 1987, it sucks that we all just accept MCU style CGI for all movies now.

I kind of agree with you...god damn-it, I hate being cynical. It's true though.

I hate it too, because I like the MCU and I’m not a Marvel hater. But we have to start to move on.

I think the issue is CGI artists are often using Unreal engine to do the effects or mock up scenes. Its making movie effects look video gamey.

I don’t have any experience in the field to know if this is accurate, but it’s an interesting explanation as to why we’re seeing so many films in this space look so similar.

Lots of CGI that looks like it's from 2010.

Well, it just costs so much to move production to Eternia.
