Title: Frank Langella Makes This Movie
Review: Certainly, parts of this movie were lacking: too much of the action was just shoot-em-up; He-Man's dialogue was weak, but kept mercifully sparse; and that Karg character should have been put out of his visual misery instead of the reptilian mercinary (Saurod, was it?). BUT... Frank Langella has given a performance which makes Skeletor, in my opinion, one of the best movie villians ever (right up there with Jack Nicholson's Joker, Darth Vader, and General Kaal from Willow). He made lines which from a run-of-the-mill actor could have been cheesy really resonate ("Then let this be our final battle!"). Plus, the skull make-up was pulled off very nicely. Oh, did anyone else notice that the Sorceress's line toward the end -- about evil men looking back over the mistakes of their lives and calling it destiny -- was just a really good line for this type of movie? Anyway...
Is the review positive or negative?
