Great continuation of the original, not for young ones.

More adult-oriented than the original Filmation iteration, this continuation sees actual blood and violence, death and consequences. While it is not explicit, and the language remains pretty tame, this is not a show for young ones. If you are a fan of or grew up with the Filmation series, you might just enjoy this (if you are willing to let character development happen).

What's the Story?

In Masters of the Universe: Revelation, He-Man (Chris Wood), Cringer, Teela (Sarah Michelle Gellar), and the guardians of Castle Grayskull are once again put to the test as Skeletor (Mark Hamill) launches his latest attack. After the battle, the world of Eternia is completely changed, as magical power is depleted from the entire planet. Teela is sent on a journey to restore magic to Eternia, forging unlikely alliances and battling the members of an ever growing movement preaching the belief of technology over magic.

Is It Any Good?

This exciting and action-packed reboot gives a whole new perspective on the Guardians of Grayskull and the world of Eternia. Masters of the Universe: Revelation makes a smooth transition into a more female-centered cast by following a new journey led by Grayskull Guardian Teela. The redesign features an expanded view of the world and cities of Eternia, smoother and action-packed battle sequences, and costume changes more appropriate for tactical movement than some of the original body suits and loin cloths.

Teens and tweens may find the action of the series exciting. Older fans of the original He-Man series may like the expanding universe as well as the secrets revealed about some of their favorite original characters. The series is overall lighthearted, but the level of violence, character death, and gateway language may not be appropriate for younger viewers.
