Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Aug 18 This was not as bad as I expected but definitely not good. I mean it’s Cannon. Some of the acting is actually good including an outstanding Frank Langella who elevates this from trash. It is just too cheesy but it does have energy. It doesn’t sit still which is kind of good. This is way better than 1986 Howard the Duck but no 1980 Flash Gordon.

On rotten tomatoes I'd give it a 85% See more Vinicius M @Vini_Monteiro Aug 3 "Masters of the Universe" is a flawed adaptation crippled by budget cuts and a massive identity crisis. The film abandons its sword-and-sorcery roots, scrapping iconic characters for generic laser shootouts that shamelessly rip off Star Wars. While Dolph Lundgren physically embodies He-Man perfectly, his robotic acting leaves the hero feeling hollow. The biggest clash occurs when the gothic atmosphere of Grayskull is abruptly traded for a cheap California suburb. The plot wastes time on annoying teenagers and slapstick comedy, ruining the epic pacing. Despite terrible VFX and a lazy script, the practical makeup is actually solid. Above all, Frank Langella delivers an intensely theatrical and terrifying performance as Skeletor, single-handedly trying to carry the movie. Ultimately, it is a creative mess swallowed by its own limitations, but it retains an undeniable B-movie charm that makes it worth watching for historical curiosity. See more Joaquin U @Joaquin1 Jul 28 Very entertaining. Plenty of absurdity, but the kind of 80s absurdity that makes it fun to watch. A bit disappointing in terms of how little it resembles the cartoon and toy line. Even for its time, the effects weren’t great, and the acting leaned a bit over the top. The script and direction are mediocre, but the cast is decent, and there’s plenty of action—most of it unfolding in an empty city... Guess there was no budget for extras. Campy, yes, but spirited all the same. See more Kent A @RT98678750 Jul 27 Man I've been a fan of He-Man over 25 years, and I really got excited when I heard they made a remake. Thing is, this was an embarrassing C movie. Casting, plot, effects and well just EVERYTHING. If it's a thing t9 make a movie too American, this was certainly it. Big American speech, goofy and just plain stupid dialogs. Big thanks to the twonk who directed this for ruining a great movie. This guy needs to find himself a new job, cause he clearly don't know how to do this one. See more Read all reviews
