Dolph Lundgren as He-Man is gold already. He is the newest genius to the Immortal Lord List and he proves himself worthy in this family science-fiction movie. The swordsman battles Skeletor (funny face) for a key that will control the universe. The key drops on Earth and is held by Julie (Courtney Cox) and the world is in her hands! Well, forget the plot because you know what happens. Let's get back to divinity. Dolph Lundgren is comedy when he talks and especially the moment when he yells, "I have the power!" Yes, you do. You're a deity now and it's up to you to entertain me. You are truly underrated. The battle scenes are decent and the battle between He-Man and Skeletor is obvious. This movie is a cross between "Star Wars" and "Conan the Barbarian." Dolph Lundgren laughs at an evil midget. Yes! This movie is fun for all ages.

First of all, let me say that I LOVE the Masters of the Universe/He-Man cartoons. So I rented this movie one time thinking it would be at least half as campy, and goofy as the cartoons. Wrong!
This is one of the few videos I have ever rented that I actually fast-forwarded through because it was so boreing!
Dolph looks nothing like the cartoon He-Man, and the Skeletor was absolutley HORRIBLE!!!! I don't know how this movie could be any worse. The acting is terrible, and so is the action.
This looks like an after-school special He-Man style. Don't waste your money on this one...

Why does Castle GraySkull look like a cheap copy of the Palace in the DarkCrystal movie, Why is He-man never prince Adam, Where is Eternia, and all of He-man's friends? He-man(who lives in and protects eternia and eternians) never fires a gun nor uses his sword on living things, so why did he in this movie? We tried to tell our parents that he wasnt violent (well) until that director got the job to make this movie, HE-MAN wasnt violent...But then came this movie, This movie isnt He-man, where is BattleCat, RamMan, TrapJaw, KingRandor, QueenMarlena,or for that matter where is Eternia?!! This movie even tries to be a RipOff of StarWars, but fails miserably, this movie should have been called "StarFight that didnt" a B-movie Title like "Masters of the Universe 2:the cyborg" became "cyborg" Starring VanDamme...But, still this is supposed to be He-man, and its still kinda entertaining in a "Wish it were He-man" way. so i gave it 5 stars for wanting to be He-man and being the only He-man released on DVD,Where are the animated Movies of He-man/She-ra:Secret of the Sword/X-masSpecial-DVD's??? Well,if you like corny, watch this DVD. HE-MAN this was supposed to be, not a bad StarWars RipOff...

When this movie was released in 1987, the He-Man franchise was crumbling, in no small part due to the abandonment of Filmation's legendary cartoon.
If you're looking for the cartoon, please don't buy this movie. Filmation's contributions to the toyline (Orko, Prince Adam, King Randor, Cringer, and Queen Marlena) are gone for obvious reasons, and the new characters are even less inspiring than what Mattel was coming up with for He-Man and She-Ra. While the producers could have still done the Barbarian He-Man treatment, they obviously went for the quick and dirty "Star Wars ripoff" route that has doomed tons of movies before and since.
The plot (such as it is) is completely destroyed by the super-cheap shift to Earth (specifically Southern California, no less), and downright poor acting. Dolph Lundgren looks vaguely similar to the Most Powerful Man in the Universe, but lacks both the diction and the on-screen intelligence that made Filmation's cartoon version so popular. Some praise Frank Langella's performance, but it's severely lacking the sheer enjoyment that Alan Oppenheimer brought to the role. Series staples Man-At-Arms, Teela, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man, and the Sorceress simply take up space, reminding us just how much personality Oppenheimer, Linda Gary, and John Erwin gave the characters.
With appearances by Courtney Cox (Friends) and Robert Duncan McNeill (Star Trek: Voyager), plus a faint connection to Cyborg (the lifeless Jean-Claude Van Damme film), this movie is better remembered for its trivia than its merit as a production.
How this got on DVD before Filmation's landmark cartoon is a mystery to me.
