He-Man and Skeletor come to Earth for their final battle and prove singularly unable to stage a decent slug-it-out in a guitar shop, a school hall or a scrap yard, let alone convince us that either of them could master the universe. A five year-old, armed with a DoP and the action figures that inspired the film, might choreograph something more exciting.
Dolph Lundgren looks as buff and as plastic as the action figure and Skeletors features are admirable gaunt, but, aside from obsessive nippers, this film, which borrows from but fails to add to the sci-fi spectacles of recent years, will struggle to find an audience.
