3/10
Kevin Smith is a mediocre writer.

Warning: Spoilers
I don't know where to begin with 'Masters of the Universe: Revelation' other than the revelation is that Kevin Smith hates He-Man. Kevin Smith killed the main character in the very first episode, just so he could put the focus on a lesser character named Teela. He-Man doesn't return until the last episode where Smith kills him off again ... this time, it seems permanently. The writing surrounding this was absolutely ridiculous; Without giving away the basic plot - Teela (who this film revolves around) and a misfit collection of others, travel to "heaven" (Yes, that heaven) to bring Prince Adam back to life. There was an open field of junk that filled the story between these two points ... I don't really know what to say about any of it, because there's no character building. Other than the fact that Teela carries a grudge for a lot of years, because no one ever told her Prince Adam was He-man ("boohoo") Seriously, Kevin, can you make a mockery out of this sidekick character anymore? The artwork itself may have been an attempt to resemble the old TV series, as it succeeded in looking cheap. It was garbage to look at. All the vehicles looked like the terrible toys they sold during He-Man's time on television. It was more a celebration of the generic plastics Mattel pieced together for their 'Masters of the Universe' to ride in. Everything that can be wrong with an animation; Kevin grabs hold of with glee. This is just another complete failure on Kevin Smith's part, and frankly I'm glad people are calling him out for it. YET - rather than acknowledging fan criticism, Smith retorts against the negative press by labeling it "a bunch of Trump supporters who hate women". Get over yourself, Kevin. I didn't like 'He-Man and the Masters of the Universe' either. It was one long commercial. I did like the action figures though. Although, I don't like when doll companies sexualize the male anatomy to appease young girls ... See what I did there, Kevin? That weird wokeness thing you keep going on about? I used it as a joke, but it's just another way for aging celebrities to convince themselves of their self-importance. It's a long running joke that's grown quite stale. A person's ego should not be rewarded. I would fire whoever pats you on the back for this trash. Such people and your conceit are manufactured to help you look at yourself in the mirror everyday, and feel good about your undeserving fame. You have ruined a show that a lot of people fondly remember, and you'll continue to blame it on everything or everyone except the skin hanging off your sarcopenian torso. You, Kevin Smith, are an absolute hack.
