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.

It’s got the right cast and the right director; now it just needs to surrender to its cheesy outrageousness.

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

...where "Masters of the Universe" fails – and where so many franchise films of late often fail – is blending its humor with its earnestness.

... a spiritual sequel to 1981’s Flash Gordon... credit going to Leto’s scene-stealing Skeletor... when everything clicks, it’s a kind of magic.

This Masters is a classic case of a very busy movie that feels like nothing of interest happens. I wasn’t feeling any of it. Or perhaps more accurately, not having any of it.

This was a fun one! Cheesy and ridiculous just like the cartoon was and it hit all of the nostalgic moments you could have wanted. A good trip down memory lane with a new and fresh look. Although this wasn't marketed well and my theater was pretty empty and only filled with a few living fossils from the Gen X crowd, It was very enjoyable. Not to be taken too seriously.

Wife and I really enjoyed it. And she went in not expecting to like it. It was fun and quite funny, we laughed hard several times. Good action, good ending. No complaints.

This movie felt like rediscovering He-man as a child all over again while coming to grips with the process of growing up. A heartwarming experience with a comedic deliverY.
