Review by @screenjournal · 12d · of Masters of the Universe

This blog is a personal journal of all the movies, Tv-Shows, & Games I consume during a year which enhances my overall experience. The ratings that I give are fully based on my personal preference and enjoyment at the time of watching and I'm writing spoiler-free reviews. (All liquid earnings are used to get extra Hive Power Delegations!)


I have been away from home since Tuesday 26th of May to the Thai Coastal city Hua Hin to do Muay Thai Boxing and aside from the series I had not watched anything until I ended up going to the Cinema at Bluport Mall to fill my Sunday afternoon. I had a movie date with a girl on Wednesday to go see Backrooms so I kind of wanted to test it out in advance and I'm glad that I did. The ticket only cost around 5.8€ which is 1/3 of the price in Belgium while the theater and the technology is qually as good. The one things I underestimated though was how hard the airconditioning was on as it felt like a fridge there and it was kind of annoying during the movie. The temperature outsisde is quite hot and I dressed to that along with how it is in the mall. So it was useful that I tested it out in advance and it either was Masters of The Universe or the new Star wars movie. Since Masters of the Universe got a 7.1/10 on IMDB, I picked that one.

Superhero Movies

Personally, I'm just not into superhero movies generally even though I have seen most of the MCU movies until I think avenegers Endgame. The only reason I went to this one was for some mindless entertainment. I'm a 90s kid and He-Man is something I only know by name while I never have seen any of the cartoons.


Masters Of The Universe (6.5/10)

Well, what to say about this movie other than it's the most generic superhero movie that you can imagine. There is a main story of good and evil and the good protecting something that gets taken by the bad gut who is some time of skeleton figure. There is a hero who starts as an underdog and doesn't know his powers. Eventually he does unlock them and beats the bad guy in a fight late in the movie to restore the balance.

On top of this, every other minute there is some kind of an attempt of a joke of which 95% of the time it simply doesn't land. The only ones that I kind of liked were the nicknames the kid gave the all the characters and also to himself (He-Man). The visuals were quite CGI-centered but most of the time it didn't bother me that much.

Conclusion I don't regret having watched this movie as the ticket price was only 5.8€ while it filled my Sunday afternoon. I also got to learn how the movie theater here in Hua Hin works to give the next movie (which was Backrooms) a better experience. I didn't like Masters of The Universe but it had its moments so I'm still give it a 6.5/10 Score. Not worth the watch unless there is a good situation to see it.
