Masters of the Universe (3.7/10)

It seems like almost every action movie these days earns strong reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, making those scores harder to trust. Lately, Letterboxd has become my go-to source for movie ratings, and even its 3/5 average for this one feels a little generous.

I found the acting to be atrocious, which made it difficult to stay invested from start to finish. While the overall storyline is serviceable, several of the characters are so over-the-top that it's hard to take them seriously. It reminded me of Mortal Kombat in the sense that it feels geared more toward a middle school audience than viewers looking for a more engaging fantasy action film. "The Sword of Power leads Prince Adam back to Eternia, a world shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor. Joining forces with Teela and Man-At-Arms, Adam must embrace his true destiny as He-Man -- the most powerful man in the universe."
