Freed from the burden of contemporary relevance, "Masters of the Universe" succeeds by doing something refreshingly straightforward: telling a rousing fantasy adventure with conviction, humor and heart.

The film is tons of fun, especially for 14-year-old boys. There are more sword-based double entendres than one can shake a whatever at.

The movie might have worked better if it had just gone full Saturday morning cartoon with fewer self-deprecating jokes. But that would have required more conviction about what everyone was making in the first place.

The adaptation of the toys-turned-cartoon instead joins the ranks of knowing IP films that play on nostalgia to serve up something fun and a little meaningful in a candy-coated shell.

Nicholas Galitzine’s Prince Adam/He-Man and a scene-stealing Skeletor help make Masters of the Universe a crowd-pleasing space fantasy adventure.

This version of Masters of the Universe has enough goofy, self-aware comedy to please existing fans and win over new fans of this fantasy action franchise, which is deliberately campy. Nicholas Galitzine leads the cast with appealing charisma.
