He-Man Goes All-In on Camp, But Jokes Outpace the Hero

The Hollywood Reporter’s review finds Masters of the Universe leaning hard into camp and fan service, with Nicholas Galitzine delivering earnest humor as Prince Adam turning into He-Man and Jared Leto delivering some entertaining moments as Skeletor; however, the nonstop jokiness often lands as cringey rather than funny, resulting in kinetic action that lacks real stakes and makes the film more of a nostalgia-driven entry for fans than a strong doorway for newcomers, with post-credits teases suggesting sequels.
