“I have the POWER!!!”
Masters of the Universe (2026) released in theaters on June 5th 2026. The action-fantasy film stars Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin and Idris Elba. It runs for approximately two hours and twenty minutes.
Fifteen years after being separated from his friends and family, Adam finally tracks down the Sword of Power, leading him back to Eternia so he can reunite with his friends to stop the evil Skeletor.
Here is the trailer:
Masters of the Universe brings this nostalgic world back to life again with effortless charm and fun action, making this the perfect watch for fans who grew up watching He-Man and She-Ra. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
So much fun!
I grew up watching both He-Man and She-Ra so I was excited to give this one a whirl and I’m really glad I did. It was so much fun, and I was smiling during the entire film. I loved the mix of action and comedy. It really made this such a great popcorn watch without taking things too seriously. This film recognized its predecessors and tried to do something nostalgic for fans while still giving new fans something to be excited about.
Bring on the sequel!
There will be no spoilers in this review, but make sure you stick around the for the end credits scene. I jumped out of my chair with excitement!
Awesome performances!
Skeletor is one of my favorite villains ever and I was a little nervous when I heard that Jared Leto was playing him, but he did a FANTASTIC job! The sarcasm worked and Alison Brie made a terrific Evil-Lyn. She deserved some more screen time though…
My girl, Camila Mendes (Riverdale) kicked ass as Teela, but I knew she would eat up this role.
Nicholas Galitzine did a fantastic job as Adam/He-Man and Idris Elba was such a scene stealer.
This was such an electric cast, and I loved the dynamic between all of the characters so much. It really enhanced the overall story and made me root for the characters that much more.
The Cons:
A little too long.
The pacing was mostly on point, but I do think that things felt dragged out a little bit in the middle. I would have preferred this film to be just under two hours, but I still enjoyed everything. Not all of the comedic moments hit for me, but I dug the campy vibe so this wasn’t a major con for me.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!!!
(4 out of 5 stars)
Masters of the Universe (2026) is an absolute blast to watch!
Overall, this film exceeded my expectations. It’s the perfect film to watch if you want to just lose yourself in the movies for a little while and travel to the world of Eternia!
I’m in the mood to watch Secret of the Sword now!

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…
It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
My supernatural thriller Girl Number Thirteen is out now! I hope you enjoy!
