He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: the Complete Series Remake

Hilarious from beginning to end, this series keeps you intrigued & entertained. The characters display a wide variety of personalities so everyone has someone to relate to. A first I wasn't thrilled with (SPOILERS!) everyone sharing the Power, but I made sense with the story. It's nice that it got wrapped up in a nice, neat bow in the end too. First Masters series to get to do that (New Adventures got to complete a story arc, but had more story ready for a part 2 before it was cancelled).

I grew up watching He-Man in the 80s. As an adult looking back at those 1980's episodes, they are extremely corny almost to the point that they're unwatchable.The 2002 version of the show is a great new take on this classic story. The creators stayed very true to the original canon, which will satisfy your nostalgia. The animation is better, the story line has better continuity, and the character development is much more in-depth. This whole series is geared toward the adults who watched the 80's version as kids. They even kept the "life lesson" part at the end of each show.The "secret identity" is a heck of a lot more convincing than the 80's version, as here Prince Adam is a teenage kid that lacks many of the admirable qualities of He-Man. As such, he struggles with his role as Prince Adam when the fighting starts, which adds an adult layer to the show.I don't usually submit reviews but I saw that there were a couple low-scoring ones. Frankly, this shocked me enough to submit my own. This series is outstanding.Yes, there are anime-style action shots.Yes, the overall theme of the show is slightly darker than the 80's version, but the old shows were too over-the-top happy anyway.This discussion is all relative, of course; the 2002 series was a Saturday-morning cartoon and is very kid-friendly.They managed to keep it kid-friendly while targeting the young(ish) adult audience.My kids love this show and so do I. You will too.

Amazing show and what a price! Under 11 bucks, are you kidding? Worth thrice that at least. Action packed, a perfect homage to the beloved 80's show and a darker, better animated revision to boot. I love how they explore the origin of not only several key characters but Eternia as well. This is non-stop entertainment and a lively animated He-man show that should have gotten more episodes during its run. A clean, fantastic look to this show highlights the obvious upgrades to every character from the original Masters of the Universe.Every episode is jam packed with heavy pathos and heart-wrenching developements. Every twist and story thread matters, every character plays a role and real peril is at every corner. These are writers that know drama and the original characters and show very well. As a huge fan of the 80's incarnation, I was blown away by this. Top-notch all the way.

I've watched the show from start to finish a couple times on Netflix and decided to purchase the DVD. They are for my collection not really for watching. So I can't comment on the disc's since I won't be opening them. But it's a good show. Good price. Fast delivery.

i heard of this series a while back but never cared to check it out,thought there is no way they could do anything but down grade a near perfect show(i was a child of the 80`s and got he-man and beast man almost as soon as they came out).passed it a few times in target and best buy.then i read a customer review on here.so i decided i would hop on over to you tube and check it out.i`m watching it and thinking well it`s o.k. but the more i watched the more i got drawn in.this show is amazing from the story telling to the beautiful art.i didn`t think it was possible to top the original.the original has 2 things over this.the morals at the end of the 80`s version are better explained and really fit the story,they kinda suck here.most people will not care about that,but when i was young i loved that part of the show also.no telling the effect it may have really had on me.the other thing better in the original is he-man himself.that version will alway be one of my favorite all time heros cause you knew when he-man showed up he was going to do the right thing and make everything ok again.again my childhood perspective.the transformation in the 80`s version is way better more dramatic.Now that being said,i will start by saying this version of he-man is very good also(the 80`s he-man is just such a strong character it`s hard to follow up after him,but they did an excellent job)i agree with the one perosn who complained about adam being whinny i felt this way too but now i understand why he was potrayed this way.the adam from the 80`s has been doing this for awhile and is a bit older than this adam.THE ABSOULTE BEST PART OF THIS SERIES HAS TO DO WITH 2 THINGS.1 ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS ARE AWESOME YOU GET ALOT OF ORIGINS,SO IT`S JUST NOT RANDOM PEOPLE APPEARING.AND ALL THESE CHARCATERS HAVE A GREAT BACK STORY AND DEPTH.IT`S LIKE THE IMAGES YOU MAY HAVE HAD AS A CHILD WHILE PLAYING WITH THE ACTION FIGURES.OUTSTANDING STORY TELLING.2 IS JUST A RUB OFF OF 1 IN THE FACT THAT THE STORY IS ONGOING AND NOT DISJOINTED LIKE THE 80`S VERSION,THE WHOLE 39 EPISODES(AND IT`S A SHAME THAT IT ENDED THERE,THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE TO COME.READ THE WIKIPEDIA)ARE CONNECTED.THE BONUS MATERIAL IS VERY GOOD.My only problem so far is the dvd case is cheap and is falling apart,close it gently.lol.and one of the episodes skips but it acts diffrently on diffrent players so it may be something i can fix.highly highly recommened if you grew up with it,if you have kids,or if you are a fan of good anime

This is the best series of Masters of The Universe since the original in the 80’s.Great story and animation,a little campy.But the show is meant for younger viewers.Still amazing to watch for older viewers
