NOT another streaming Movie - Masters of the Universe

Masters of the Universe, follows Barbie as the next Mattel venture into film. 

It is the second live-action film adaptation after the 1987 film. Thirst trap Nicholas Galitzine is Prince Adam / He-Man, alongside Riverdale's Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Sherriff Country's Morena Baccarin, & mr can do everything Idris Elba. 

Masters of the Universe, follows Prince Adam as he returns to his home planet, Eternia, to take his destiny as He-Man, and save his home from the evil forces of Skeletor.

Principal photography (most likely, largely in front of a green screen) occurred in London, England, from January to June 2025.

Surprisingly this is an Amazon MGM Studios film, meaning I actually could have watched this for free in a few months.

So was it any good? Scroll below the trailer for my verdict.


Nicholas Galitzine is sex on legs as a blonde. I honestly never really saw him as a total babe before. But now as a bulky blonde in minimal clothes - YASS!

The plot is fairly thin. The ending feels a little rushed, despite it being a fairly long film.

Despite some post credits scenes, a sequel is not yet being discussed or offical, however I think this had legs for a bit of a fantasy, comedy, action nostalgia film series. It's not like Amazon is short on cash.

A lot of the characters were a little lost on me. Particularly the poorly aged named ones like, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Fisto, & Jon Xue Zhang as Ram-Man.

Fisto had some interesting jokes.

Overall I will pass this. It was fun escapism. 2.5 Stars.
