Masters of the Universe

Barbie for the boys

The action/fights are phenomenal, and 90% of the time it’s beautiful to look at. That’s about as far as the compliments go.

This movie is made for 40-50 year old lobotomised man children, there’s absolutely no sense of logic and nothing makes sense, the movie makes no effort to explain anything that happens, things just happen and you just go along because you don’t expect this movie to try and make you understand it, it’s colour and fights and who cares about the rest.

I nearly walked out many times, I couldn’t stand how unwatchable some scenes were, it’s so cringe. Every single character right down to skeletor himself is joking or is the butt of something humerus, and humerus is used very loosely, its millennial throwaway unserious stupid stuff that nobody should be laughing at. But apparently all the 40 year olds haven’t had much experience with genuinely funny comedy because the most embarrassingly stupid slapstick thing could happen and all of them would start chuckling like they’ve never done before.

All the characters are so undefined, one dimensional and forgettable that it makes me think about why I should care about anything that’s going on.

Could you tell Amazon distributed this movie? I could, exactly when the monster that came to earth that was tanking hits from Teela had the most damage done to him by an Amazon delivery truck. In a masters of the universe movie? Smh

I also don’t know what age group this was made for, they make jokes about fisting, giving head and other stuff I can’t remember that’s not appropriate for kids, but everything else about the movie makes me think it’s just a kids movie? I don’t get it.

I just couldn’t with this movie, nothing about it makes it a good movie, as an action movie it succeeds but as anything else it’s an embarrassment. It’s just so stupid.

My score: 4/10

Loved it. Mix of Flash Gordon and John Carter. Right up my alley. Best score I've heard in a long time.

8/10

The Master of the Universe is packed with campy action, colorful costumes, and a memorable performance by Frank Langella as Skeletor. Dolph Lundgren looks the part as He-Man, and the film has a nostalgic appeal for fans of the original cartoon and toy line.

It was okay. I remember zoning out a bit.. wouldn’t watch again. Would watch a sequel.

Give it a 4:5
