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.

The Travers Take

55m

2/4

A better than it should be reboot of a 1980s relic that still falls far short of deserving a hero’s welcome, though He-Man Nicholas Galitzine and scary Skeletor Jared Leto add just the right tone of mocking irreverence.

Wall Street Journal

3h

A two-hour-plus comedy-and-effects bonanza whose fantasy images are more notable for their quantity than quality, like a digital Golden Corral.

...a summer blockbuster that revels in breaking rules, mocking conventions, and fully committing to making the conventions of an '80s-inspired fantasy film work in 2026 theaters. [Full review in Spanish]

I really enjoyed this movie. Being a fan and watching Masters of the Universe as a kid I couldn't help but smile at some of the scenes. This movie is funny, sentimental and has great action scenes. Anyone who was a fan of the 80s cartoon will love this movie.

Raucously funny at times. Good fun, good humor, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Lots of fan service and some fresh takes. Family thoroughly enjoyed it.

The characters seemed to be as close to the early 80s cartoon as could be hoped for. Story line was ok. Looking forward to atleast 2 more sequels to make making this movie worthwhile to those of us that grew up watching He-Man in the 80s.

A He-Man sized shot of sugar to the brain, this movie is the movie Masters fans like me have been waiting for since were 7 years old. There has been a He-Man cartoon or show or spin-off every few years for the last 40 or so, each of them a little different or spinning this character or that, but this one finally sets the bar really high for who they are telling the story for: not 7 year old, not 50 year old, but visionaries who can believe in a world of ideals and heroes and not taking everything so seriously. Great movie!
