DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD 1d From Saturday morning cartoon to the big screen in one muscle-bound leap, by the power of Cannon's mounting debts, Masters of the Universe was born of financial necessity and raised by compromise, demanding to be taken on its own terms. A beautifully flawed relic, visibly fighting its own limitations at every turn, I can't hate it. For the film that was supposed to be the crown jewel of legitimacy for the legendary studio, there's ambition, sincerity and a sense that everyone involved was trying to make something special, even as the ground collapsed beneath them. All this gives Masters of the Universe a beautiful lease of life; it truly does have the power, and I will not be apologising for loving it so.

However, it is important to remember that it is about He-Man . . . it is not trying to keep up with the nominees for Best Picture. See more Robert V @WheelchairZombie47 May 5 I love this movie. It’s great. It’s absolutely a cult classic. The action is awesome. The scene with them eating chicken is hilarious. James Tolkan from back to the future is funny it’s a must see cult classic See more Irate T @IrateTyrant Feb 26 CONAN or He-Man? It's a toss-up... I grew up as a child with VHSs of Conan and Master of the Universe. I loved them. As I had become an adult, I considered the descending list of best to be Conan the Barbarian, Masters of the Universe, and Conan the Destroyer. Now, I have to say Conan and He-Man are about equal for completely differing reasons. Conan of course takes itself seriously. But MotU is non-stop crazy action, the entire run-time. Arnold has always been great, but young Dolph is great too. What MotU has is 23-year-old Colleen Cox. I also recently watched Leprechaun with Jennifer Aniston. Cox is better in this earlier role. Everyone in MotU takes the basically decent dialog and action and gives 300%. It still manages to be intricate and interesting, mostly due to production values. I loved it, whereas I felt compelled to be forced to love Conan. I highly recommend Masters of the Universe, it's way better than you'd expect for an 80s action movie.

Not sure why He-Man is shooting with a gun more than showing his physical strength. Weird how him being Prince Adam is left out. See more Read all reviews
