'As overseen by director and Laika CEO Travis Knight, whose last project was the similarly-minded Bumblebee, Masters of the Universe is eager to please, luxuriating in a joke-driven atmosphere in a bid to ease newcomers in. Trouble is, the film also draws heavily from the MCU’s Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy entries, striking while the iron is cold for an overlong, unimaginative adventure. What should be a launchpad for a new series, then, instead functions more roundly as a death knell for 1980s nostalgia.'
