Masters of the Universe Ratings & Reviews
Michael Johnson
April 11, 2025
Recently watched this again, and it holds up. It's not the most fantastic movie, but it's a fun watch.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Perhaps the biggest fault to this picture is Lundgren's casting; he certainly looks the part, but he brings nothing to the table when it comes to acting.
Washington Blade
Betsy Pisik
Sure, Masters of the Universe is a movie based on a TV series that was developed to sell war toys to children, but it's a whole lot more: This is pyro-technical submerged sexuality at its intergalactic best.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a distressing misfire that mostly (and curiously) relegates He-Man himself to the sidelines.
Chicago Tribune
Johanna Steinmetz
Everyone knows how the battles will turn out. It`s what's between them that raises Masters Of The Universe ever so slightly above the mediocre.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
With Masters of the Universe -- the latest numbskull entertainment from the creators of Castle Greyskull -- He-Man makes the transition from animation to live action. Taking a live actor along for the ride might have helped.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
A misfiring, underdone epic that takes its inspiration not from life or literature, but from a toy line and the cartoon series it inspired.
Orlando Sentinel
Bob Morris
If nothing else, we can probably thank Lundgren for ensuring that there will be no more Rambo movies in the near future because he has obviously depleted the world supply of body grease.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
It is by no means a masterpiece, but it still possesses some keen schlock value for fans of eighties cinema.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
There are some decent special effects, but overall it's about what you'd expect from a movie inspired by a line of toys.
Variety
Variety Staff
The result is a colossal bore.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Goddard does a good job of bringing the characters to life....a treat for the fans
New York Times
Walter Goodman
Their weapons make a Fourth of July sparkler show, but they almost never hit anybody.

Scott Weinberg
I'm not saying He-Man deserved all that brilliant of a movie ... but this thing's a freaking disaster.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Little kids at play have come up with craftier plots, better characterization and conceivably more spectacular effects -- provided their mothers let them play with matches.
