When the evil Skeletor finds a mysterious power called the Cosmic Key, he becomes nearly invincible, seizing Castle Grayskull and the surrounding city. The Sorceress is now Skeletor's prisoner and he begins to drain her life-force as he waits for the moon of Eternia to align with the Great Eye of the Universe which will bestow god-like power upon him. However, courageous warrior He-Man locates the locksmith inventor Gwildor, who created the Key and has another version of it. During a battle, one of the Keys is transported to Earth, where it is found by teenagers Julie and Kevin. Now, both He-Man and Skeletor's forces arrive on Earth searching for the potent weapon.

Nothing like the animated series, but a good cheesy 80s movie.

Just a funny, cheesy He-man live action. You get what you expect.

This is actually way more fun and consistent than the new one.

A movie made for the 80s with some silly production & references to other IPs that it good fun ride for fans, Cox shines while Lundgren good

Fun wild. He has the power. Young courtney coxs

The movie equivalent to an Egg McMuffin: it's trash, but sometimes you're okay with eating garbage.

I loved this as a child and the nostalgia overcomes all shortcomings - you are missing out if you first see it as an adult.

Super weird relative to the cartoon and on its own terms. Didn't like it at all.

Thought it’d be campy and fun. I was half right. Lieutenant Paris! Fun final fight! The rest was a joyless slog. New film is much better.

A guilty-pleasure of mine since 1987!A wonderful production for a He-Man movie!Sure its a bit overly corny& B-Movie-ish,but such fun! 6.5/10
