Masters of the Universe, in many ways, follows in the footsteps of many of the best superhero movies ever: It’s all about a new superhero finding his or her way. I have no problem with this film doing the same things we have seen before. In fact, Masters of the Universe, being such a standard superhero movie, reminded me how much I used to enjoy them.
Often, I would see Marvel films during their initial theatrical releases. Master of the Universe is like those movies, but it deviates a bit from the standard great Marvel movie. These differences make Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine)’s hero journey more interesting.
