Masters of the Universe was in developmental hell for a long time. Its one to develop an animated series surrounding He-Man cause ultimately its a property that started out being made for the sake of selling toys much like alot of cartoons that came out in the 80s. Over the years though, the He-Man lore started gaining traction especially on the comic book side which lent itself to more semi-serious endeavors like the early 2000’s Animated series and the recent Netflix show.
In comes this movie which takes some of the silly aspects of the 80s show and mixes it in with the serious material and gives you a very fun and straightforward movie that is very unapologetic in what it is. Its a film thats very confident with the source material and it shows top to bottom from the performances(especially Jared Leto’s Skeletor) to the world of Eternia. This is a movie that comes alive with its energy. Its definitely worth the watch even if you aren’t a big He-Man fan.
