Watch Masters of the Universe For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sadly Over-hyped

Good movie but grossly overrated

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Now we all know Dolph Lundgren is not best know for being in many box office hit movies, Rocky four not included that is. However I think its more then safe to say Masters of the universe has to be one of them. A poor budget movie with poor effects, acting, storyline & just about everything else. In one word the only word I can find to describe this movie is poor!

I saw this film for the first time 30 years ago, when it premired in my country (Portugal) in July 1988. I was 15 then, and for a teenager in the 80's this film was a treat. It had everything: a great hero, a great villain, a lot of fantasy, great fight scenes, hot chicks (Chelsea Field looked realy hot in that tight outfit of hers), awsome special effects. It's no wonder I loved it, no wonder it became one of my favourite fantasy films. Of course, when we're young we tend to overlook the flaws of our favourite films, either because we're so invested in the story and with the fate of the characters, or simply because we're young and not that experienced as moviegoers. The fact is that this film has flaws. The screenplay is very unbalanced, there is no character introduction, the writers simply assume the audience knows these characters and their world, and that's a mistake. I and most kids my age knew the comics this film is based on, but a lot of people in the audience didn't and some kind of introduction would have been nice. The pace is also very uneven, first you have about 10-15 minutes of very fast fight scenes in Eternia and then the action is transfered to Earth and the pace becomes rather slow, taking the time to introduce all the earth characters and their motivation. It's only when Skeletor decides to come to Earth himself with his army that the pace picks up again. The acting isn't remarkable, but it isn't bad either. The best of them all, unsurprisingly, is the great Frank Langela as Skeletor - he manages to make a rather bi-dimensional and un-interesting character into a tri-dimensional person, a real evil-doer that you would hate to meet in person. Lundgren looks the part, but is acting is a little wooden. Still, he looks great swinging a sword and is awsome at kicking @ss, so we forgive him for not being that great an actor. The rest of the cast are adequate in their parts, which they play competently. There are a lot of cheesy lines in this movie, as was typical in this kind of flick in the 80's, but that only contributes to it's charm, even 30 years later. The special effects, though acceptable for 1987, are clearly dated, the film hasn't aged well in that department. Skeletor's makeup, though, is pretty good, even by today's standards. The direction is adequate, Gary Goddard did the best he could with what he was given to work with. Given a larger budget and a better screenplay he probably would have made a much better movie. Still, it's a very entertaining movie and it brings back good memories from my youth. If you ignore the somewhat dated special effects and the overall cheesyness of the film, you're in for a lot of fun. I give it 6 stars out of 10.

It's better than Transformers, better than Blade Runner, better than Backdraft.Dolph Lundgren IS He-Man. There are lots of lasers blasting guys that look like Stormtroopers sort of.Frank Langella IS Skeletor. He always gives a great performance and this is his best, better than Frost/Nixon, where he played one of those guys.The girl who plays Teela IS Teela. Her outfit is awesome, and she is gorgeous. I would marry her, but I'm not really ready to commit at this point in my life.That little dude IS Gwildor. He made me believe that a small dwarf could make a thing that creates portals to other worlds.Special effects are awesome, no Battle-Cat but I heard it's cause they had a big cat but he ate an extra and whatever they had to fire him. The cat, not the extra, he died of blood loss from massive head trauma cause the cat ate part of his face.Great movie. Dolph Lundgren rules now and forever. You should also check The Punisher, which is the greatest film ever made.999/99

A prince turned warrior named He-Man battles against the dark lord Skeletor on the planet Eternia. He-Man and his comrades arrive on Earth and discover two teenage lovers to find the magical Cosmic Key.Now, the strange thing about this is that the film was in production based on the toys and not on the cartoon. This results in two very different visions of the same characters, and probably results in plenty of confusion from those who expect the cartoon and get something with lasers and Courteney Cox.But taken in its own right, it is not bad. Not great, but not bad. And it certainly is better than what they tried to do with the Super Mario Brothers. (Although, even that one is fun now that we can look back and laugh.)
