Amazon MGM Studios The Masters of the Universe reviews are here. The live-action movie from Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Studios , based on the iconic franchise, will hit U.S. theaters on Friday (June 5). Here’s the official synopsis: “In Masters of the Universe , director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam ( Nicholas Galitzine ) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor ( Jared Leto ). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela ( Camila Mendes ) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms ( Idris Elba ), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe. But what are the critics saying about the new movie? Masters of the Universe has a 73% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes The movie currently has a 73% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Los Angeles Times says: “ Leto ’s grumbling Brit-inflected baritone is an unrecognizable concoction of trilled r’s and plummy vowels — and the best performance he’s done in years.” Slant gave it 1.5 out of 4, writing: “The film buries its heartening Barbie-style deconstruction under every terrible action-comedy instinct plaguing modern blockbuster filmmaking.” The New York Post gave it 3 out of 4, saying: ‘No, this decidedly summer flick, directed by Travis Knight , was made solely for your amusement.

A film made with this much love would have been right up my alley when I was 13. Alas, I’m no longer a teenager.” Guardian gave it a 2 out of 5, saying: “There’s just too much distracting confusion here — from Galitzine ’s unsure performance to the script’s swirl of competing tones to the very question of why this needed to exist — for it to transport us as we both hope and expect.” USA Today gave it 3 out of 4, saying: “There’s enough infectious energy and heart to give this sugar-bombed throwback a mainstream appeal more sizable than Galitzine ’s impressive deltoids.” Variety says: ‘ Travis Knight ‘s film is so lo
