He-Man: Masters of the Universe Review - He Does Have the Power!

Following the success of Project Hail Mary and The Sheep Detectives, Amazon Studios took a gamble on an '80s icon: He-Man. While the box office was unforgiving to Masters of the Universe, the cast gives it their all—delivering a fun, nostalgic ride that will hopefully spark a few more Eternian adventures.

                                

Nicholas Galitzine and a solid supporting cast—including Jared Leto’s Skeletor—give it their all, but the movie isn't without its flaws. The 2-hour-20-minute runtime feels 15 minutes too long, and over-reliance on weak CGI gives the production a not so clean finish. Even so, fans of the '80s show will find plenty of pure nostalgia to make the journey back to Eternia worth it.

                                                               

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe offers a fun, nostalgia-fueled journey back to Eternia. Despite its pacing hiccups, drawn-out action scenes, and weak CGI, the earnest performances and pure '80s charm make it worth the trip. The Bollywood Elephant rates it a solid 3 elephants.                                                          

If you would like, watch it in Hindi, Javed Jaffrey as Skeletor is the BEST.
