Movie Reviews of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Season One, Vol. 1
Movie Review: I HAVE......................GOOD MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Too bad I don't have a big magic sword too.
I have the power!!!!!!!!!!
I actually bought this and expected to like it as much as I did when I was a kid.
Um.........didn't happen.
I bought the original Scooby Doo's on DVD and I still love those just as much as when I was little.
Hmmmmmm.......
Apparently He Man didn't age as well as Scooby.
He Man was definitely for children of the 80's.
Unlike Scooby which is timelessly zany and fun.
He Man........I wonder what he would look like now?
Probably like Arnold Schwarzenegger, in dire need of some botox and a little lipo where all those sagging muscles once were.
The dialogue is horrendous but funny to listen to.
The animation is......meh, so so.
And I agree with another reviewer who said the whole cartoon has a ton of overt homoeroticism.
I'm gay, so maybe it's He Man's fault I turned out gay, you know the religious right and their brainwashing theories!!!!!!!!
Then again.......Evilyn and Shera were pretty immorally dressed, so why didn't I turn out straight?
Oh who cares!!!!!
He Man is a fun stroll down childhood memory lane.
If you have kids, and show this to them nowadays they'll probably just roll their eyes and go...."CORNY!!!!!"
I recommend He Man for 80's kids.
Just don't expect to fall in love with it all over again.
You'll laugh, you'll laugh A LOT!!!!!!!
And that's always a good thing.
Recommended.

Relive the excitement as you enjoy the adventures of the universe s greatest warriors. The power has returned!System Requirements: Running Time 710 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: NR UPC: 787364649495He-Man and the Masters of the Universe makes its debut on DVD in a robust collector's set, filled with extras any fan would enjoy. Part one of season one contains a whopping 33 episodes, following the hulky, well-tanned muscleman who masquerades as the irresponsible, goofy Prince Adam by day. The secret of He-Man's dual identity is only shared by The Sorceress (who's only powerful so long as she remains near Castle Greyskull, where she lives), Man-At-Arms (the king's gadget specialist) and Orko, a floating creature whose backwards magic spells often leave everyone with egg on their face (literally). He-Man's legacy was also its focus on family values, illustrated at the end of each episode through a moral lesson given by one of the characters. They range from the useful (Don't judge people by their looks) to the somewhat trite (When you're sad, sing a song). He-Man's nemesis, the wizard Skeletor, remains a fan favorite, accompanied by his motley crew of sidekicks: Beastman, Evil-Lyn, Merman, and Tri-Clops. There's even a little room for romance, though any flirtation between Adam/He-Man and the overeager captain of the guard, Teela, is usually restricted to jealous looks when the other receives the attentions of an outsider.
Memorable episodes include "Teela's Quest," in which she discovers her real mother is The Sorceress; "A Friend in Need," a drugs allegory where an insecure (and very scantily-clad) woman becomes addicted to a potion that makes her confident; "Song of Celice," where a woman's powerful singing voice is exploited by Skeletor to conquer Greyskull; and "Prince Adam No More," in which Adam struggles with seeking approval from his father, King Randor. A new behind-the-scenes documentary reveals insight into the series's launch as the inaugural first-run syndicated cartoon; the creators's encounter with a fresh-off-Conan-the-Barbarian star Arnold Schwarzenegger at a convention ("He looked at our drawings … and was ticked off," recalls creator Lou Scheimer). There's also a featurette in which producers and animators discuss individual episodes, animated storyboards, and scripts. Best of all, the spine of the DVD box (along with seven other He-Man and She-Ra related DVDs) creates a mural of Castle Greyskull and the Crystal Castle. --Ellen A. Kim
