07/24/2021 ATTENTION: My rating is just for the first episode, "the beginning". It is a decent start to what eventually leads to a 5 out of 5 star series! For those of you that watched the '80s Filmation series, you have to go into this thinking it's a new telling of that familiar series. The characters are tweaked just a little in both their look and in their personalities, but not so much that they become unrecognizable. When you see Evil-Lyn or Duncan, you'll know EXACTLY who their Filmation counterparts are. This series is made with so much love for the Master of the Universe property that came before it. It respects it while diving deeper and expanding the lore. This series has just about everything you want.. except for more than just 2 seasons. This show deserves more episodes!

It had many of the same writers and actors as Beast Wars, and the writing, acting, and animation was much better than the Filmation series. There was real action, real plot, real character development, and it was all leading up to a much bigger story that never reached its conclusion. I hope the series is completed someday.

It was a shame that it never went beyond season 2. See more 03/31/2012 I remember when this show first aired. I was a big fan of He-Man as a kid and wondered what a new take on the show would be like. I found this in a cheap bin at Wal-Mart for $3 and just couldn't pass it up. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Beginning is the first ten episodes of the series, and it's not really that bad. It's actually much better than most people made it out to be. It's not perfect, but it isn't a pile of crap either. I liked it, and I might even watch it again sometime just for fun. I guess that's the best thing I can say about it.
