Jared Leto as Skeletor and the Supporting Cast
Critics are comparing the film’s tone directly to the first Thor, fun and earnest with real heart underneath the spectacle.
- Leto’s Skeletor is getting called campy in the best possible way, which is really the only way to play a blue-faced skull villain with a floating castle.
- Camila Mendes as Teela and Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms round out a cast that clearly understood the assignment.
- Alison Brie and Kristen Wiig also show up, and the ensemble gives the whole thing a sense that everyone involved genuinely wanted to be there.
Should You See the Masters of the Universe Movie?
If you went in skeptical, you’re not alone, but this one appears to have earned its confidence. Reactions describe it as nonstop fun, a Saturday morning cartoon come to life, and a love letter to He-Man fans who’ve waited a long time for this. The first half reportedly takes a little while to find its footing, but once it locks in on its themes it doesn’t let go.
For fans and families looking for a big, loud, joyful blockbuster, this looks like the real deal.
