The New He-Man Movie FLOPPED — But Is It Actually Bad?

Hollywood has once again reached into the toy box, grabbed a beloved childhood franchise, and thrown a massive budget at it. But was Masters of the Universe actually worth the power?

In this spoiler-lite review, Jim heads back to Eternia to discuss the 2026 Masters of the Universe movie starring Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Camila Mendes as Teela, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, and Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn.

Jim wasn’t even planning to watch this one—until a Fantasy for the Ages viewer asked what he thought about it. Apparently running a fantasy channel means you should probably watch the giant-budget fantasy movie featuring a muscular guy waving a magic sword around. Who knew?

We’ll cover: ⚔️ Jim’s history with He-Man—including his inexplicable affection for the wonderfully corny 1987 Dolph Lundgren movie ⚔️ A spoiler-lite look at the story ⚔️ Five reasons you might actually enjoy Masters of the Universe ⚔️ The surprisingly committed cast and polished production ⚔️ Jared Leto having WAY too much fun as Skeletor ⚔️ That Dolph Lundgren appearance! ⚔️ Three reasons you might want to skip it ⚔️ And the biggest question of all: Did we really need another He-Man movie?

Have you seen Masters of the Universe? Were you a He-Man fan growing up? And do you think this new version deserves another trip to Eternia—or should He-Man head back into the toy box?
