It was directed by Gary Goddard and produced by Yoram Globus, Menahem Golan, and Edward R. Pressman from a screenplay written by David Odell (The Dark Crystal, Supergirl) based on toys by Mattel. Bill Conti provided the score. Cannon Films released it back on August 7, 1987.
Rated PG for adult situations, language and violence Masters of the Universe has a 17% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: “Masters of the Universe is a slapdash adaptation of the He-Man mythos that can’t overcome its cynical lack of raison d’etre, no matter how admirably Frank Langella throws himself into the role of Skeletor.”
