In MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, Director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man -- the most powerful man in the universe.

Critics Consensus

By the power of Grayskull and with a little help from its self-deprecating script and spirited cast, Masters of the Universe is a delightful adventure that finds the humanity in He-Man.

Audience Says

A glossy, action spectacle that wears its heart on its jacked sleeve, Masters of the Universe is a stud of a film.

Masters of the Universe belongs to no one — a project engineered at enormous cost from the needs of IP.

4.5/5

Was totally swept away by this super vibrant, weird and gleeful romp. It's downright ridiculous but ridiculous works when the cast and crew wholly get the kind of movie they're making and are enthusiastic about going all out to bring it to life.

Masters of the Universe is no masterpiece, but it is a worthy summer blockbuster.

It was such a fun movie! I had a smile for most of the movie. The fights were great and I think all the actors did an amazing job at their roles. Nicholas Galitzine was such an endearing Adam.

Loved the 80s feel, plenty of action, waaaaaay too long! This should have been 90 minutes or slightly less, not the 140 minutes… the writers and producers dragged this and I think a shortened version would have made this movie better.
