Masters of the Universe film debuts in Brazil amid mixed critical response

Masters of the Universe film He‑Man Nicholas Galitzine Jared Leto Travis Knight

The live‑action adaptation "Masters of the Universe" opened in Brazil on 4 June. It stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He‑Man, Jared Leto as Skeletor, with supporting roles for Camila Mendes, Idris Elba, Allison Brie and Morena Baccarin. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios in partnership with Mattel Films and directed by Travis Knight, the movie aims to re‑introduce the 1980s toy franchise to a new generation.

International critics describe the film as a blend of fantasy, humor and 1980s nostalgia, drawing comparisons to recent toy‑based adaptations such as Barbie, Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor. Reviews note heavy CGI, self‑referential jokes and an attempt to balance action with political and emotional conflict, while a video‑review highlights the expanded scope of Eternia and the modernization of the source material.
