He-Man and The Masters of the Universe movie


Midnight’s Edge did a great job with the story behind the strange and forgotten live-action He-Man movie.  

I really hated the live-action He-Man movie and even watched it in the theater way back in 1987.  I still remember watching it with my family and felt disappointed with the overall effort of the movie.  It felt like a cheap version of the He-Man movie.  It almost had nothing to do with the TV series.  Plus, it was 87, and Transformers and GI Joe were the ones popular at the time.  

What was the point of having the movie come out during the waning years of the toyline? Why did they cast Dolph Lundgren to play He-Man?  However, Meg Foster and Frank Langella were great choices for their roles.  Otherwise, the movie is a complete and utter failure, and even a young me felt that way.  

BTW, I had no idea She-Ra was supposed to be in the movie as well, but some legal reasons kept her out.  

That plan for Masters of the Universe Part II looked to be one of the worse ideas ever.  However, it did morph/mutate into Cyborg.
