Radio O By the owner of greyskull One of the best fantasy movies ever Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Audience Member For many of us, it’s a nostalgic blast from our childhood and fans of 80s sci-fi will get their money’s worth. Frank Langella steals the show as Skeletor and its classic heroes are the kind missing from much of today’s more socially-nuanced storytelling. He-Man rescues those in trouble, fights for those who can’t and treats his friends with respect and loyalty. He’s good for the sake of goodness, and as of this writing, I found it refreshing and charming. Courtney Cox also shines amidst a likable cast of sincere, good-natured characters fighting against the forces of evil. The villains are also pleasantly one-note, power-mad for the sinful pleasures of evil, and they pay for it. Skeletor and company don’t see themselves as the true heroes saving the universe, as many of our modern day movie villains do. They’re bad because they’re bad and they relish it, plain and simple. The movie is brisk, the practical effects are beautiful and the heart is big! Love this one!

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Allan C It's so bad, it's almost good. I enjoy it purely for the nostalgia. Frank Langella nails it as Skeletor. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Saint M Better Than MOTU: Revelations Eternia is a world where science and magic are infused. The evil forces of Skeletor have captured Castle Greyskull and are close to harnessing its power to conquer the world. Only one thing stands in Skeletor's way: a man...a He-Man. The creative team swung for the fences on this one. Unfortunately, it's a miss. What kills this movie for me is that most if it is spent on Earth. Instead of a fantasy/sci-fi epic that could have explored more of Eterina than the show did, we got a family drama with monsters and Principal Strickland. Where was Battlecat? Why replace Orco? Why did Skeletor choose the worst villains to pursue He-Man? Why couldn't the writers have trusted the audience to invest in Prince Adam's ability to transform into He-Man? Masters of the Universe is a good bad movie and worth watching if only to laugh at, or to dream about what it could have been.
