“When I raise my fist like that, I’m done!” says evil warlock Skeletor (Jared Leto), and his second in command and in-house sorceress, Evil-Lyn (Alison Brie), deadpans, “Noted for the future, my lord”.Based on Mattel’s eponymous Masters of the Universe franchise, which started with a 5.5-inch action figure toy line in 1982 and blossomed into comics, animation series, feature films, video games and more, Masters of the Universe keeps the playful tone of Filmation’s animated series, He-Man and the Masters (1983 to 1985).While Skeletor undoubtedly has some of the best lines and insults (“beefcake barbarian”, “muscle-bound milquetoast”), and Jared Leto seems to be having the most fun, the others have their moments too, starting with Prince Adam’s (Nicholas Galitzine) slightly self-aware narration at the beginning of the film.He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (English)Director: Travis KnightCast: Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Kristen Wiig, Jared Leto, Idris ElbaRuntime: 140 minutesStoryline: A young man meets his destiny as the prince of a fabled land, which is under the grip of an evil warlockWhen one realises Adam is telling the story of Skeletor taking over his home planet of Eternia, the loss of his parents, King Randor (James Purefoy) and Queen Marlena (Charlotte Riley) and the Sorceress (Morena Baccarin) sending him and the Sword of Power to Earth, to a date who merely asked Adam where he is from, one cannot help but chuckle.So Adam works in HR but is obsessed with finding the Sword of Power to get home, and when he does find the sword at a comic store (“everyone here looks like they could have the sword,”) portals open and all sorts of wild, weird things happen. Adam gets home to Eternia to face his destiny, defeat the villains, and much else.
