Review of Masters of the Universe (1987) by Erick F — 03 Jan 2016
I really liked this movie. I have no idea who these people think they are giving it a 17%. Skeletor looks awesome. The costume and production design are fascinating. Even some of the more campier stuff.
The practical effects are also part of the fun, and not in an ironic way. I watched this movie twice recently, and there is so much to like about it. Skeletor is a rotten bastard the entire time. He-Man has amazing feathered 80s hair.
The music is great. The action is great. The story structure is typical 80s, "CHARACTER FROM ANOTHER TIME/OR UNIVERSE COMES TO THE PRESENT AND ADVENTURES ENSUE". But seriously, rewatch it if you haven't in a while.
Also, the bald headed principal from Back to the Future, plays a pissed off cop with a shotgun because "I SWEAR, THEY WERE HERE, IT WAS THE DAMNDEST THING I EVER SAW". All good stuff. Good concept, good execution.
