I loved He-Man as a kid. I even had a lot of the toys, including the very cool Grayskull castle. But the idea of making a He-Man movie? It's really, really silly.

Look, there are some things that we are willing to accept in a cartoon that we are simply not willing to accept in a live action movie. And there are some things we were willing to accept in the 80's that we are no longing going to accept. And a guy raising a sword and yelling “By the power of Grayskull… I HAVE THE POWER!” is not going to fly.

Sure, maybe they will find an angle that will make this work. Maybe they will manage to cut out the silly stuff. But considering how much of the original was composed of "the silly stuff", I'm guessing it would be easier to just come up with an original movie.

Just in case you have never seen or don't remember He-Man, here are the opening credits.
