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.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” Part 2 on Netflix: Something to be Excited About!

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“And where did that power get you?”

Masters of the Universe: Revelation is a continuation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983). The new series premiered on July 23rd 2021 and was written by Kevin Smith. Part 2 released on November 23rd 2021 on Netflix. The show stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lena Headey, Chris Wood, and Mark Hamill. There are five episodes in part 2 that run for approximately 25-28 minutes each.

Eternia is in grave danger after a new power threatens to destroy everything and everyone, but does anyone have the ultimate power to stop it?

Here is the trailer:

Masters of the Universe: Revelation part 2 doesn’t hold anything back as it continues a familiar plot while creating something new and relevant in the process. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Necessary character arcs are explored.

I thought that part 2 did an excellent job with this. Each character went through an important journey of self-discovery and we even got to learn more about their past, which helped me connect to them even more. It wasn’t just about them defeating the great evil. It was about them embracing who they are, realizing that they still have time to make an impact on their own terms.

The humor continued.

There was a lot going on in these episodes, but I appreciated that the dry humor was still present because it really elevated the series and kept it truly fun and entertaining. Mark Hamill was fantastic as always and I was so beyond impressed with Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn. It’s like she was made for this role!

Reveals worth the wait!

There were some really great reveals and twists in part 2. I was so excited for some of them and they really emerged with perfect timing to keep us fully invested. Even though this is technically a series, it felt like a movie and I loved every second of it!

The Cons:

A lot jam-packed into part 2…

This isn’t necessarily a con, but maybe we could have benefited from six episodes to give enough time to everything. I didn’t really mind it because the pacing was done really well and it felt like a movie, but there was a lot going on and a lot to paying attention to.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

Part 2 blew part 1 out of the water and then some! I could not stop watching this show and I had to watch all five episodes in one sitting. It was that good!

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Masters of the Universe: Revelation (Part 2) in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” Part 1 on Netflix: Who has the power?

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“I have the power!!!!!!!”

Masters of the Universe: Revelation is a continuation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983). The new series premiered on July 23rd 2021 and was written by Kevin Smith. The show stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lena Headey, Chris Wood, and Mark Hamill. There are five episodes in part 1 that run for approximately 25-28 minutes each.

The new series brings us back to the world of Eternia as He-Man and Skeletor face off once again.

Here is the trailer:

Masters of the Universe: Revelation seems like a dream come true for fans of the original series, but there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the new series. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

All star cast!

It’s no secret that I absolutely love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Game of Thrones so to discover that both Sarah Michelle Gellar (Teela) and Lena Headey (Evil-Lyn) were on the show was a dream come true. Plus, Mark Hamill is just fantastic with whatever comes his way!

Well placed humor.

Even though this is a reboot of sorts, this show is clearly meant for fans of the original series. I thought the dry humor was genius and I appreciated the fact that I was watching a show basically made for me and everyone else in my generation who grew up watching this show.

Supporting characters get to shine!

I am a fan of the original series. My brother and I are very close in age so we both watched He-Man and She-Ra growing up. She-Ra even came to my birthday party in the first grade!

I know all of the characters, but I always used to wonder more about some of the supporting characters and Kevin Smith really allowed them to reach their full potential in this new series.

I’d love a spin-off featuring Evil-Lyn though! As much as I loved SMG, Lena Headey was pure magic in this role!

The Cons:

Jarring first episode…

There will be no spoilers in this review, but I was completely shocked at the end of the first episode. This isn’t necessarily a con because I think it was a bold decision, but I guess it made me question what I was going to actually watch during this show. There have been many reactions to this and I find myself somewhere in the middle, but I was definitely thrown for a loop as well…

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

I thoroughly enjoyed my watch of this series and I’m looking forward to part 2 after that major cliffhanger! This series brought me back to my childhood, but it also created something new and different and gave other characters a chance. It’s not often that we see a reboot that still speaks to the original audience and I think that this series accomplished that.

It wasn’t just about having “the power.” It was about finding out what that meant for each and every one of us.
