Masters of the Universe Reviews
Perhaps the biggest fault to this picture is Lundgren’s casting; he certainly looks the part, but he brings nothing to the table when it comes to acting.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 2, 2025
…a derivative, mad splice of Back to the Future prom anxiety and Terminator’s time-jumps, with added 80’s garnish…
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 13, 2023
Sure, Masters of the Universe is a movie based on a 온라인카지노추천 series that was developed to sell war toys to children, but it's a whole lot more: This is pyro-technical submerged sexuality at its intergalactic best.

Sitting somewhere tonally between Star Wars and Flash Gordon, Masters of the Universe demands to be taken on its own terms and remains an enjoyably kitschy lark throughout.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2022
...a distressing misfire that mostly (and curiously) relegates He-Man himself to the sidelines.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 24, 2022
The story is a little hokey, but then again, was there a truly great episode of the television series?
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 27, 2021
The movie, whose only contribution to the genre is its recreation of famous characters, goes by unnoticed in front of our eyes without even provoking outright rejection. [Full Review in Spanish]

If not for the superb villainy of Frank Langella, who plays the evil Skeletor, Masters of the Universe would be as barren as an asteroid.

Everyone knows how the battles will turn out. It`s what's between them that raises Masters Of The Universe ever so slightly above the mediocre.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 11, 2014
With Masters of the Universe -- the latest numbskull entertainment from the creators of Castle Greyskull -- He-Man makes the transition from animation to live action. Taking a live actor along for the ride might have helped.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 11, 2014
A misfiring, underdone epic that takes its inspiration not from life or literature, but from a toy line and the cartoon series it inspired.
| Jul 11, 2014
It is exceedingly difficult to make convincing live-action versions of cult cartoon strips, and this big-screen version of the momentarily popular 온라인카지노추천 series is one of the least successful attempts.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 11, 2014
If nothing else, we can probably thank Lundgren for ensuring that there will be no more Rambo movies in the near future because he has obviously depleted the world supply of body grease.

It is by no means a masterpiece, but it still possesses some keen schlock value for fans of eighties cinema.

The first film to be based on a line of toys, this might not be the last, but it'd take something awful to replace it as the worst.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 13, 2008
There are some decent special effects, but overall it's about what you'd expect from a movie inspired by a line of toys.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 13, 2008
The result is a colossal bore.
| May 13, 2008
There are lots of flashes and bangs, but the effects are neither special nor camp enough to be more than vaguely amusing.
