Masters of the Universe

Masters of the Universe is a live action movie based on the 1980's cartoon He-Man. It stars Dolph Lundgren who most people know better as "Ivan Drago" from Rocky IV. Growing up watching He-Man, I have a somewhat biased opinion of this movie. I like it mostly because of its nostalgia value, bringing back old memories of when I watched the cartoon as a kid.

Other than the nostalgia value, Masters of the Universe is a decent action movie with cheesy special effects, but that is mostly due when it was made. Don't expect a thick plot or dynamic dialogue. If you were/are a fan of the cartoon, you will like Masters of the Universe. Other than that, most people won't understand what is going on, because there is not enough time to give a strong background on each character. I recommend catching this movie on television on a lazy Saturday afternoon, if you can.
