ysabetwordsmithMasters of the Universe (2026) no-spoiler reaction (TLDR: It's fun!)
I saw Masters of the Universe (2006) at the theater light night. I had a lot of fun! I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I did not expect what they made, which is a joyous campy subtly-clever romp that got me smiling soon, and smiling more and more the longer it continued. Children and adults who never knew this IP can have a fun time fully as much as those of us '80s children who somehow still know, say, Queen Marlena's origin, or who Teela's mother is, or the name of every action figure in our brothers' and cousins' and neighbors' toyboxes.
Never has watching a movie felt so much like playing with action figures.
I have seen the trailer, and very much look forward to watching this movie.
