Skeletor's speech is off the fucking scale awesome villainy. Just an EPIC speech. Watching this I can only imagine how good Palpatine becoming The Emperor in ROTS could've been. Damn you Lucas!!!!!!!!!!! This is the kind of speech Palpatine should've delivered. I was totally stoned watching ROTS but I could tell even then it wasn't working. DAMN YOU LUCASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an example of Hollywood getting Everything wrong. The movie had the right villain the right hero and supporting characters. Hollywood condescending to the public and shoe horned the whole earth storyline into it and fucked it up. If they had just made an ETERNIA movie with battle scenes and everything else this would be an all time classic..... Hollywood sucks...
@Rodney21a rodney sadly, and begrundeouly, like a child being forced to eat vegtables before they are allowed dessert, I must agree with you. I love this film, but even as a ltitle kid I wanted a movie soley on eternia filled with magic,muscles, beautiful women, and power.
Meg Foster is AWESOME as EVIL LYN!! AWESOME, SHE NAILS THAT ROLE!!! She looks so EVIL,And Frank Langella Kick ASS as Skeletor! His Skeletor can't be beat
Langella's Skeletor is easily on the short list of greaest villains of all time, up there with Ledger's Joker and MacDermit's Palpatine. He WITHOUT DOUBT saved the Masters of the Universe franchise, turning it from a corny cartoon with a short run that most of us would have felt embarrassed to admit we watched as kids, into one of the true Science Fantasy classics.
@actutus i....don't know anyone who would say they were embaressed to watch he-man as a kid. certainly not me. i mean if YOU didn't like it, fine, but speak for yourself. some of us liked it. ALOT.
@LamonicBomb I apologize for giving offense. Embarrassed is not the right word -- forgive me. I stand by the rest of what I said. Langella's portrayal of Skeletor is simply superb.
I'm studying Richard III right now. It is quite obvious that this Skeletor is completely modeled after him. "I demand of destitution, shame, and loneliness of scorn! It is my destiny! It is my right! Nothing will deter me from it!" Shakespeare would have been proud.
I loved this movie as a kid. Watching it as an adult the flaws are obvious. However Frank Langella's performance was epic. Theatrical and over the top and perfectly appropriate for this character.
I love the Darth Sidious moment he has toward the end: "The universe is POWAH! Unstoppable POWAH!" lol. Skeletor's character in this movie definitely made it worthwhile, and also those hundreds of troopers that suddenly make an appearance in the story.
I realized just now, Dolf Lundgren played the role of HE MAN; how versatile of him. He was also the one who played Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. One movie portays him as hero; the other one portrays him a villain. Balance roles, I say!! Good luck, pal!! B-)
@jouyenmae I don't think he's very versatile at all, he plays a strong man in every film he's in, plus, he can't act very well, especially in this movie.
Hollywood, this is how you craft a believable villain. Intelligent, evil but yet having character flaws that are realistic. Skeletor's was his obsession with defeating He-Man, seeing him broken and kneeling before him.
THIS is the true Skeletor. Dark, menacing, diabolical, cunning, sadistic, and poetic. Not like the campness of the original animated Skeletor. A pure personification of the lust for power and control.
Very very underrated movie. Facts is this was made 80s and even Steven Spielberg or George Lucas cannot make better Masters of the universe movies in 80s. Maybe now because CGI has take over and effects of movies are much more advanced than 1987 when this was made. This movie is not greatest ever but this is mediocre action and its worth watch even once because Frank Langellas performance as Skeletor.
Doohde it was over TWENTY years ago!!! And even still I think his facial skull appliances (makeup) look hot!! I think the did good! Now planet of the apes (1968) suc compared to today! U must b Gen Y to not appreciate it
When I was a little kid, it made me so angry when Skeletor lifted up the Sword of Greyskull and said it was his. I wanted to yet "Put it down, you bastard"
He-man is gay, his rag-tag bunch of misfits doesn't pull it off either. But Skeletor here is played rather good, and gives at least some credit to the movie.
Langella's Skeletor was the best character, hand's down. But I think Man-at-Arms did a fairly decent job portraying a grizzled war veteran, and his daughter Teela wasn't exactly bad looking.....
saw this in the cinema as a kid & loved it! langellas version of skeletor was unbelievably good. his voice and delivery of lines is INCREDIBLE!
1:59-2:09 "all the powers of the universe will be invested in me...ME! and you will cease to exist" EPIC!
I'm in my late 20s now but i'll never forget 6:47 "KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER!" nothing special about the words but langella just nails it. to this day its one of the greatest movie lines i've ever heard! thnx 4 posting
Surely you must be kidding. If it was your intention to get attention by saying that comment then job well done.
But for a moment presuming you're serious in what you said, then I'd like for you to tell me what you based your extensive research over to give you that unrealistic conclusion.
George PUCAS has fucked up star wars HARD,the originals were awesome,no doubt,BUT PUCAS tampered with them & made those all so terrible presequals,MOTU has outshined star wars since PUVAS fucked it all up!!!!
I've never understood why so many people are highly critical of the new Star Wars films. I think explaining the origin of Darth Vader was brilliant. Everyone has their own reasons I guess for disliking it. Most reasons I've heard/read are silly to me.
Either way, you can't possibly compare a piece of shit film like this to the legend of Star Wars on any level. This movie on NO LEVEL did anything to outshine the past movies or more recent ones. Be realistic.
Original star wars,YES,kicked arse,the preseuals are fucking dreadfulthe over the top special effects did not make up for the horrid acting & made the originals look dumb,presequals,LOLOL
In regards to the special effects, Lucas kept up with the times in what he could do in film. If he could have applied this technology to the original thrilogy that he did with the newer thrilogy back then, he would have done it and you wouldn't know what sucked from what doesn't.
As for the acting, I've never regarded Star Wars, original trilogy or not for having top tier acting display per se. They're just films of above average acting displays.
That still doesn't change the fact that the presequals are total rubbish,all PUCAS had to do was transfer the original trilogy to dvd & thats that,uh NOOOOOOOO he had to fuck it all up!!!
If you don't like the prequals that's your business. I don't really care. But to think this cheesy movie outshined them is unrealistic. You want to talk about horrible acting, this movie personifies that in spades.
Fact is separately as well as combined all the Star Wars prequals made ten times more money than MOTU could ever imagine. A lot of people don't even know this movie was fucking made. Everyone knows the prequals for Star Wars was made though. So MOTU outshined nothing.
Oh & the star wars presequals acting is better than this,LOL,since when?When the star wars pesequals came out NO 1 I knew said they where any good,they where laughed at hard at how pathetic they're!
What's your point? When the MOTU movie came out it didn't exactly get high positive ratings that went through the roof either. None of the critics liked it really.
Even Dolph Lundgren said this movie sucked and he had the lead role in the movie. I think much like others you saw the new Star Wars movies with an unrealistic expectation of it. Lucas was never going to satisfy everyone when making these films. People bitched about the incessant love angle in it and how extensive the story was.
Yes MOTF got bentched quick & who cares what Dolph says,most of his movies are write offs anyways!This movie is alright & is definetly better than al the star wars presequals put together!!!
Dude, you're a fucking idiot. Dolph Lundgren is a legend in the action movie genre. Ivan Drago is the second most memorable character in the Rocky movies. Anyway, since he was in the movie and had the lead role what he says about the movie means a lot.
You can live in your fantasy world all you want and prefer this steaming pile of monkey shit of a film that was made on a budget of probably one thousand bucks, but sales and impact on pop culture it will NEVER be in the new Star Wars league.
Yeah right, he's such a lemon fucking actor. But the mere fact he was advertised for being in this movie was one of few big selling points that made people want to see it. Movies like The Punisher, Rocky IV, Universal Soldier and Showdown in Little Tokyo grossed more money and popularity than this fucking film could ever imagine.
And I NEVER said because a movie had a ton of money spent on it, it obviously made it better. But the money spent for making this movie was ill spent.
Oh whats that,4 movies profit compaored to this,LOL,well of course it would gross more dickhead,LOL.Oh & the star wars presequals did a good job linking the original star wars,WOW,I never heard that 1 B4!!!!!
You should try reading what I say closer, because when you reply you just make yourself look like an idiot that is eager to speak that has nothing of value to say. I didn't say all four films combined made more money than MOTU the movie. I meant and said pretty clearly that separately compared each one to it grossed more money than it did.
Dude, face it you're fighting a losing battle here. You and dumbass dowling1981 are the only fucks in the comments post that likes this movie.
You want to like this movie, that's fine. I sure as hell have my batch of films I like that no one else does. Just don't have an unrealistic viewpoint of this films importance and "power" combined to movies that are legendary (whether you like them or not). This movie did nothing in the theater to prove it had value and was worth remembering, aside from Langella's portryal of Skeletor.
You can talk it up all you want, but it didn't deliver on its end for itself to most people that saw it.
Maybe if they had spent the budget more wisely sticking to a more authentic approach to the movie every knew and loved from the comics and cartoon the movie might have been worth a damn.
MOTU was a completely cheestastic movie, but the guy playing skeletor did a amazing job. He elevated this movie from utter 80s fluff to something halfway watchable.
Skeletor was awesome but he seemed a bit long-winded while accepting the powers of the universe. lol Even the Sorceress, Evil-Lynn, and Karg seemed annoyed by his babble from 6:32 - 6:45.
I can't say much that hasn't already been said about this movie. I always loved the cartoon but hated the live action movie for it. Frank Langella's take in portrayl of Skeletor was awesome, and proved one time that you could truly polish a turd of a movie and make it shine bright at moments.
LmAO, you thought this movie was brilliant? You don't get out much do you? There was NOTHING brilliant about this movie. Reasons are as follows. #1. No Battle Cat. #2. The movie didn't take place on Eternia the majority of the time. #3. No Prince Adam (that's like making a Superman movie with no Clark Kent.). #4. Lack of characters from the cartoon/comic in the movie.
Those reasons right there made it suck. It was a cheesy wannabe futuristic flick more than anything.
By the way, I was not being a smartass. You asked if I thought the movie was good and I had already said in a previous post that I didn't. Now if you wanted to ask me something differently your lack of ability to convey your thoughts on the keyboard is not my fault.
I didn't call you a 'smartass', I called you a 'smartarse'. Perhaps you should others' comments more closely yourself. Now to the main issue; Do you not think that this movie was good for its time?
Spare me the semantics lesson. Smartass and Smartarse are the same word. Okay, you wanted to be an Aussie and be clever and use a different spelling for the word. I'm real impressed. I responded applicably to what you said.
Anyway, for the 100th time for the cheap seats I HATED THE MOVIE. I HATED IT THEN AND I HATE IT TODAY. IT WASN'T BRILLIANT AND WAS NOT EVEN GOOD FOR A 1980'S CHEAP SCI-FI MOVIE.
What part of that statement is hard to understand? I gave reasons why it was bad.
'Smartarse' is actually British. Anyway, saying you 'hated the movie' in capital letters does not constitute a specific reason, it is just a general statement. For example, do you not think that the soundtrack in the movie was quite atmospheric and powerful?
The origin of the word is irrelevant, the fact Smartarse means the same thing as Smartass because they're the same word is what is important. And I already told your dumbass several reasons why I hated the movie. The fact you can't read and keep up and comprehend what I'm saying is not my fault.
And yes, the music had atmosphere. Then again two week old trash in the kitchen does too.
this could/should have been the whole movie

saw this in the cinema as a kid & loved it! langellas version of skeletor was unbelievably good. his voice and delivery of lines is INCREDIBLE!
1:59-2:09 "all the powers of the universe will be invested in me...ME! and you will cease to exist" EPIC!
I'm in my late 20s now but i'll never forget 6:47 "KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER!" nothing special about the words but langella just nails it. to this day its one of the greatest movie lines i've ever heard! thnx 4 posting

MOTF has proven that over time it has outshined star wars,well done!!!!
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
Surely you must be kidding. If it was your intention to get attention by saying that comment then job well done.
But for a moment presuming you're serious in what you said, then I'd like for you to tell me what you based your extensive research over to give you that unrealistic conclusion.

George PUCAS has fucked up star wars HARD,the originals were awesome,no doubt,BUT PUCAS tampered with them & made those all so terrible presequals,MOTU has outshined star wars since PUVAS fucked it all up!!!!
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
I've never understood why so many people are highly critical of the new Star Wars films. I think explaining the origin of Darth Vader was brilliant. Everyone has their own reasons I guess for disliking it. Most reasons I've heard/read are silly to me.
Either way, you can't possibly compare a piece of shit film like this to the legend of Star Wars on any level. This movie on NO LEVEL did anything to outshine the past movies or more recent ones. Be realistic.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
Original star wars,YES,kicked arse,the preseuals are fucking dreadfulthe over the top special effects did not make up for the horrid acting & made the originals look dumb,presequals,LOLOL
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
In regards to the special effects, Lucas kept up with the times in what he could do in film. If he could have applied this technology to the original thrilogy that he did with the newer thrilogy back then, he would have done it and you wouldn't know what sucked from what doesn't.
As for the acting, I've never regarded Star Wars, original trilogy or not for having top tier acting display per se. They're just films of above average acting displays.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
That still doesn't change the fact that the presequals are total rubbish,all PUCAS had to do was transfer the original trilogy to dvd & thats that,uh NOOOOOOOO he had to fuck it all up!!!
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
If you don't like the prequals that's your business. I don't really care. But to think this cheesy movie outshined them is unrealistic. You want to talk about horrible acting, this movie personifies that in spades.
Fact is separately as well as combined all the Star Wars prequals made ten times more money than MOTU could ever imagine. A lot of people don't even know this movie was fucking made. Everyone knows the prequals for Star Wars was made though. So MOTU outshined nothing.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
Oh & the star wars presequals acting is better than this,LOL,since when?When the star wars pesequals came out NO 1 I knew said they where any good,they where laughed at hard at how pathetic they're!
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
What's your point? When the MOTU movie came out it didn't exactly get high positive ratings that went through the roof either. None of the critics liked it really.
Even Dolph Lundgren said this movie sucked and he had the lead role in the movie. I think much like others you saw the new Star Wars movies with an unrealistic expectation of it. Lucas was never going to satisfy everyone when making these films. People bitched about the incessant love angle in it and how extensive the story was.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
Yes MOTF got bentched quick & who cares what Dolph says,most of his movies are write offs anyways!This movie is alright & is definetly better than al the star wars presequals put together!!!
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
Dude, you're a fucking idiot. Dolph Lundgren is a legend in the action movie genre. Ivan Drago is the second most memorable character in the Rocky movies. Anyway, since he was in the movie and had the lead role what he says about the movie means a lot.
You can live in your fantasy world all you want and prefer this steaming pile of monkey shit of a film that was made on a budget of probably one thousand bucks, but sales and impact on pop culture it will NEVER be in the new Star Wars league.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
NO your the fucking idiot,Dolph is a lemon actor & just because a movie has alot of money spent on it doesn't mean its a decent movie dipshit!
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
Yeah right, he's such a lemon fucking actor. But the mere fact he was advertised for being in this movie was one of few big selling points that made people want to see it. Movies like The Punisher, Rocky IV, Universal Soldier and Showdown in Little Tokyo grossed more money and popularity than this fucking film could ever imagine.
And I NEVER said because a movie had a ton of money spent on it, it obviously made it better. But the money spent for making this movie was ill spent.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
Oh whats that,4 movies profit compaored to this,LOL,well of course it would gross more dickhead,LOL.Oh & the star wars presequals did a good job linking the original star wars,WOW,I never heard that 1 B4!!!!!
BigBozSicenunow 2 years ago
You should try reading what I say closer, because when you reply you just make yourself look like an idiot that is eager to speak that has nothing of value to say. I didn't say all four films combined made more money than MOTU the movie. I meant and said pretty clearly that separately compared each one to it grossed more money than it did.
Dude, face it you're fighting a losing battle here. You and dumbass dowling1981 are the only fucks in the comments post that likes this movie.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
You want to like this movie, that's fine. I sure as hell have my batch of films I like that no one else does. Just don't have an unrealistic viewpoint of this films importance and "power" combined to movies that are legendary (whether you like them or not). This movie did nothing in the theater to prove it had value and was worth remembering, aside from Langella's portryal of Skeletor.
You can talk it up all you want, but it didn't deliver on its end for itself to most people that saw it.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
Maybe if they had spent the budget more wisely sticking to a more authentic approach to the movie every knew and loved from the comics and cartoon the movie might have been worth a damn.

MOTU was a completely cheestastic movie, but the guy playing skeletor did a amazing job. He elevated this movie from utter 80s fluff to something halfway watchable.

Skeletor was awesome but he seemed a bit long-winded while accepting the powers of the universe. lol Even the Sorceress, Evil-Lynn, and Karg seemed annoyed by his babble from 6:32 - 6:45.

AsheIsTheRaven 2 years ago 4
I can't say much that hasn't already been said about this movie. I always loved the cartoon but hated the live action movie for it. Frank Langella's take in portrayl of Skeletor was awesome, and proved one time that you could truly polish a turd of a movie and make it shine bright at moments.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
Do you not think the movie was good?
dowling1981 2 years ago
I already answered that question. Read the second line of the comment I posted that you replied to.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
Ok smartarse. Why didn't you like it then? I thought it was brilliant at the time.
dowling1981 2 years ago
LmAO, you thought this movie was brilliant? You don't get out much do you? There was NOTHING brilliant about this movie. Reasons are as follows. #1. No Battle Cat. #2. The movie didn't take place on Eternia the majority of the time. #3. No Prince Adam (that's like making a Superman movie with no Clark Kent.). #4. Lack of characters from the cartoon/comic in the movie.
Those reasons right there made it suck. It was a cheesy wannabe futuristic flick more than anything.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
By the way, I was not being a smartass. You asked if I thought the movie was good and I had already said in a previous post that I didn't. Now if you wanted to ask me something differently your lack of ability to convey your thoughts on the keyboard is not my fault.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
I didn't call you a 'smartass', I called you a 'smartarse'. Perhaps you should others' comments more closely yourself. Now to the main issue; Do you not think that this movie was good for its time?
dowling1981 2 years ago
Spare me the semantics lesson. Smartass and Smartarse are the same word. Okay, you wanted to be an Aussie and be clever and use a different spelling for the word. I'm real impressed. I responded applicably to what you said.
Anyway, for the 100th time for the cheap seats I HATED THE MOVIE. I HATED IT THEN AND I HATE IT TODAY. IT WASN'T BRILLIANT AND WAS NOT EVEN GOOD FOR A 1980'S CHEAP SCI-FI MOVIE.
What part of that statement is hard to understand? I gave reasons why it was bad.
MainEventMafia4Life 2 years ago
'Smartarse' is actually British. Anyway, saying you 'hated the movie' in capital letters does not constitute a specific reason, it is just a general statement. For example, do you not think that the soundtrack in the movie was quite atmospheric and powerful?
dowling1981 2 years ago
The origin of the word is irrelevant, the fact Smartarse means the same thing as Smartass because they're the same word is what is important. And I already told your dumbass several reasons why I hated the movie. The fact you can't read and keep up and comprehend what I'm saying is not my fault.
And yes, the music had atmosphere. Then again two week old trash in the kitchen does too.
