I have to say that in a way this movie is half good and half bad.The actors did a great job but the story wasn,t mostly based on the popular cartoon.Movies like Ghostbusters are super spectaular.If I were to grad this movie I,d give it a C+.But it can be entertaining in a different sort of way.The ccastle greyskull looked very different and there were a lot of characters missing.So I have to give it a thumb up and thumb down.

fist of all the special effects were bad even for the eightys second the script bit i dont know what they were thinking on that one 3you call this a kids flick ? they left out almost all the characters its been a long time saince ive seen it but as far as i remember they only left in skeletor he-man of course but thats it they didint even have all the origanal veaicles as far as i remember. first time i saw it was prabably 17 years ago anyway who ever directed it i dont mean to sound immuture but they should get thier you know what. kiked and frank langella hes a great actor superb in fact he should of just stayed away from it but he probably needed the money either way ill stay off his back.

What to say? We're not sure how to describe the absolute atrocity that was this film. Film? We meant tragedy. We're not even sure what made it so bad - but we want our two hours back. We did think Skeletor had a nice float in the Masters of the Universe parade, though. We guess that's worth a star.

I love Master of the Universe. I'm 19 years old and worshipped the cartoon show. I did the see the movie when it premeried back in the 80's and have owned it on VHS for a long time. I was glad when I saw it on DVD two years ago and I'm so glad I own it.
Masters of the Universe tells the story of He-Man. He-Man is the champion of Grayskull and it's up to him to stop Lord Skeletor and his armies from Snake Mountain from destroying the lands of Grayskull.
Dolph Lundgren was the perfect He-Man. He wasn't the original choice as He-Man as Orion wanted the part to be played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm glad Arnold didn't get the part because Dolph was so perfect. He looked like the cartoon He-Man. He had the hair, the swagger, and the build. Dolph has always been a great action actor. This is one of the better films he has ever made.
Frank Langela is a perfect Skeletor. The make up and effects they used to make him look like Skeletor are fantastic. He has the swagger and personality that Skeletor protrayed in the cartoon and it's great to see it by a real person. It's a great sign of great acting.
I liked Courtney Cox a lot in the film. It was like love at first sight for me. It was great seeing her become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and it's awesome seeing her humbling start in a film like this. Julie is a great character for her and I can't think of anybody else I would have rather seen play the part.
I like the score from Masters of the Universe a lot. It was done by Bill Conti and it is good enough to rival a John Williams score. The brass in the score is fantastic. I'm a trumpet player and as one I dream about playing something like that medley.
The special effects in Masters of the Universe are great. They remind a lot of Star Wars. A lot of people have been critical about how much the blasters and stuff compare to Star Wars. To be a realist though why wouldn't you want to copy Star Wars one of the greatest special effect movies of all time. The ships and gateways and explosions are great in Masters of the Universe. If you like special effects it's definetly a movie for you.
I love this film. It's one of my all-time favorite films. I loved it as a child and I love it as a 19 year old young adult. It's a great film. It has action, humor, special effects and a great story. It's a must see for all He-Man fans. It's a great family film.

First, it is important to understand it could be and should be a children's movie. Second, if must understand you should watch any other children's movie from the 80's, this has to be on my list of 10 movies that should never be watched again. I did enjoy Skeletor's performance, and I believe Frank was the voice of Megatron in Transformers, who was the greatest villian ever. Indeed, I recommend watching Transformers the movie before this.
The plot is certainly not existant. Eternia is under attack and Castle Greyskull is taken over by Skeletor. First, He-Man has the muscles for the part, but he seems out of place with his sword and shoots more with laser guns than uses the Sword of Power, perhaps the coolest weapon ever next to the Power Ranger Gold Ranger staff. What you are allowed to see of Eternia is hardly anything, a deserted plain and a cave of a dwarf who sends them to the Masters of the Universe to Earth to escape the onslaught of Skeletor's forces. I don't want to say anymore, because already, as soon as they get on Earth, present day, it was just dumb. If they ever decide to make another Masters of the Universe movie, they should first have it on Eternia, where a world of magic and fantasy meets technology and use familiar characters. He-Man has to say a lot more and the special effects have to be amazing. All of this was lacking.
