Masters of the Universe was a good, old fashioned fantasy romp, though it didn’t stick to its source material particularly well. Over the years it has gone on to have a bit of a cult following, in spite of initially doing very poorly at the box office.

Langella was a well-known and very well-respected actor so was a bit of a coup to get such a professional for the film. Langella has had a rich and varied career, appearing in Captain Fantastic, Parts Per Billion and The Americans amongst many other productions.
