I'm not sure why people seem to be so hard on this movie, but I'm glad to see several of you out there who aren't.
I think that a lot of the folks that criticize this movie just take He-Man way too seriously.
I loved (and still love) He-Man, as a cartoon, a toy, and yes, a live-action movie.
And while I can agree with those of you who say that this movie didn't tie-in to the cartoon enough, or that it was too 80's, or didn't feature enough of the characters from the cartoon and line of toys, it's He-Man for crying out loud, and it's not a movie that I feel needs to be disected.
What it all comes down to is how much you enjoy watching the movie, and I personally get a kick out of watching this movie nearly 20 years after I first got a kick out of watching it.
I think it's an underrated film and I dare anyone to sit down with an open mind and not enjoy this movie.
At such a cheap price, I think any He-Man, sci-fi, or action/adventure fan needs to see it, and while the DVD isn't oozing with special features, I'm grateful that someone took the time to put it out there for us to enjoy all over again!

First off, why are alot of you reviewers upset about this film taking most of its place on Earth. I mean, if not Earth, we'd be seeing nothing but people fighting in the desert. Becuase, that's pretty much what Eternia is, it's a desert type of land. So, in saying that, I think that Earth was a cool idea. Also, the interior and exterior of Castle Greyskull were very nicely done. The acting is a bit "meh," but the action is awesome, especially the whole hoverboard scene. Also, one reviewer was saying how the hoverboard scene was taken from Back to the Future Part 2, but, you're actually mistaken. I watched an episode of He-Man on Masters of the Universe Season 1 Part 1, and the bad guys were riding around on hover-like devices. So, I'm pretty sure the hoverboards were from the cartoon, not from BTTF 2. Also, the special effects were nicely done. EX: That laser-like whip that Blade had, the plasmic energy stuff that came out of Skeletor's hands, the cosmic key, the laserss from the guns, etcetera. Another thing, He-Man, Man-At-Arms, Skeletor, Evil-Lynn and Beastman all did a good job looking like their cartoon counterparts. The Sorceress and Teela's costumes were a bit altered, but, still, they looked cool also. So, all-in-all if you really think about it, this movie did stay true enough to the cartoon, though it did have some alterations to it. The score, also, was amazing. That theme to this film really gives a heroic promise. I loved it. And, when Eternia was filmed, it looked like that of the cartoon. And, lastly, watch this movie on DVD, not on television or VHS, because the picture and sound quality are at its greatest when watched on DVD. I mean, it makes Masters of the Universe a 10X's better film when the pic. and sound quality is this awesome. But, even if you have the VHS, it's still an awesome film. So, make sure to watch it.

I love He-Man & She-Ra the cartoons, They were awesome cartoons when I was a kid & now Im nearly 22 years old & still love them.
The cartoons were doing so well that they released this movie which I really do like but yeh its not exactly like the cartoons.
In the cartoon u have Prince Adam who transforms into He-Man, In the movie No sign of Prince Adam.
In the cartoon u have Cringer Prince Adam's pet Tiger who Transforms into Battle Cat, In this movie no sign of him.
In the cartoon u have many villans like Trap Jaw, Mer Man & so on in this movie there is Beast Man, Evil Lyn & Skeletor but all the other villans r new for the movie.
In the cartoon The Evil Skeletor was always losing his battles against He-man & always looked like a bumbling fool, In this Movie he is evil, he is mean, he is tough & he is SO NOT A FOOL which is a GREAT change from the cartoon. They made Skeletor amamzing in this movie.
It is a enjoyable movie BUT if ur a HE-MAN fan of the cartoons JUST expect a few changes from the cartoon & the movie.
I still like this movie VERY MUCH THOUGH.

I might love the music of the 80's, but the decade did churn out some pretty cheesy works in the realm of cinema. This film highlights that fact pretty well.
I loved the Masters of the Universe action figures, but this movie just doesn't link with those great toys at all. It spends too much time on a pair of teenagers on Earth who no one is interested in. If the script would have replaced both of them with Moss Man, then maybe the movie could have been somewhat redeemed.
Why did there have to be a fight in a music store anyway? That's not what Masters of the Universe is supposed to be all about. Fight in a place that's awesome, darnit! This ain't Roadhouse.
The performance of the guy who played Skeletor is the only thing that saves this movie from getting one star.
