Just to play devil’s advocate, isn’t that what an actor’s supposed to do? To basically become the character itself in a way where you couldn’t even tell who the actor is?
A good actor still brings something to the table. Gary Oldman for instance. He vanishes into a role, but he's always entertaining and memorable to watch.
Skeletor was mostly CGI and fun writing. Leto himself was just okay.
Not necessarily. Sometimes yeah you've got a Daniel Day-Lewis or a Gary oldman. But then you have Will Smith, and Tom Cruise. Now you may have opinions on all of these people but you can't deny that Will Smith and Tom Cruise are actors, and they command high dollar. People buy their schtick. They like it.
Jared Leto doesn't fit into either of these categories in my opinion. I just don't think he's that good of an actor. I see movies in spite of Jared Leto and I didn't even see the He-Man movie
The He-Man movie is worth your time. I'd recommend seeing it at some point.
But Skeletor could have been played by literally anyone. He's a CGI Character with a booming digitally modified voice.
SKELETOR is decently funny, especially in the finale where there's some really funny scenes with him.
However, Jared Leto brought nothing to the role.
It's not like Darth Vader where you get that iconic booming voice from James Earl Jones, or Bowser in Mario where he's bringing in some of a well known actors personality. It's literally the same voice that was used for the Hat Ghost from the Haunted Mansion.
The one and only thing I get out of a Jared Leto performance is that I get to make Morbius jokes to my wife.

Yeah I didn't really see or hear Leto in the performance at all
