Did you see the Masters of the Universe movie in a theater back in 1987? If yes, what were your lasting impressions of seeing the film on the big screen?
"We must always value life. Even the life of one who opposes us." ― He-Man
It seems to be that the 1987 movie finds alot of love on the new He-Man forum, which is in stark contrast to the overwhelming posts of ridicule and hate it seems to get from 'the other board'. Wonder why that is?
Sadly, I missed the MOTU movie in theaters, but saw it as a kid on TV. I fell in love all over again.
I did see the movie in the theatre. My lasting impressions were confusion. As a 7 year old kid I was going into it thinking more toy look stuff. It just seemed off to me. But as an adult I do appreciate the movie. My kids like it so I guess that's good. But they also had the same comments too. Like "that doesn't look like He-Man." My personal favorites were Skeletor & Evil Lyn by far.
I saw it at the theatre. I remember they were showing it again around Christmas in 1987. The movie blew me away. I still remember missing certain characters like Fisto and Orko, but overall I thought it was great. A shame that it never got a sequel.

I was lucky enough to see it in the movies the week it came out. I read any and every magazine article I could about the movie before it came out. I wasn't such a big fan of it as a kid, not sure why. I remember I was really disappointed that it mostly took place on earth.
I saw The Power Tour at Radio City Music Hall a few months earlier, if I remember right, so maybe seeing all that awesome MOTU spectacle live gave the movie an unfair benchmark to pass. Also I was deep, deep into GIJOE, as were most nine year old boys in 1987.

I Was lucky to see it in theater ... Back then no one wanted to go watch it with me so I took my little sister
I loved all the characters of the movie, But Skeletor was my favorite.
