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

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.

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

It reminded me of an early phase MCU film. A fun time

3/5

Unfortunately, toy-movie history likely won’t repeat itself here because, for all its qualities, the final spark to detonate this superficial retread beyond the groan-worthy norms of the blockbuster epic is completely missing.

This new movie is very well cast and looks great, plus has a lot of heart and a valuable lesson. But it just never SOARS. Still a good time though, especially for fans of the original animated series. Here's hoping for a better sequel...
