Critics Consensus

By the power of Grayskull and with a little help from its self-deprecating script and spirited cast, Masters of the Universe is a delightful adventure that finds the humanity in He-Man.

Audience Says

A glossy, action spectacle that wears its heart on its jacked sleeve, Masters of the Universe is a stud of a film.

It’s got the right cast and the right director; now it just needs to surrender to its cheesy outrageousness.

3.5/5

In a very smart move, director Travis Knight gleefully pays homage to the kitsch factor of this sci-fi sword-and-sorcery franchise, especially its operatic 1980s origins.

I really enjoyed this movie. Genuinely looked beautiful and great action sequences. Wish it wasn’t as goofy as it was, but I was still very happy about how it came out
