Guilty Pleasures – Masters Of The Universe

  Growing up, plenty of comic books and cartoons got the big screen treatment. Most of them were crap, because they looked nothing like the source material. Except for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Somehow, a studio managed to make that cartoon look as real as possible. Which of course meant that the film bombed at the box …

Before Filmmakers decided to give cameras to crew with epilepsy conditions and then flash bright lights at them, fighting choreography in a film was one well rehearsed dance of spin kicks, wires, and a touch of CGI later in the 1990s. And of course, China ruled that scene. That led to big name stars such as Jackie Chan and Sammo …

Not every comic book movie released is an instant treasure. When life gives you Iron Man in one hand, you’ll often find Superman IV in the opposite appendage. But sometimes, you get a movie which just doesn’t gel properly with audiences, thanks to some last minute tinkering from studio execs in order to maximize profits. You see, most times, directors have to …

I’ve watched a hell of a lot of bad movies. More than any one person should have to for a single lifetime. I’ve chortled at the too bad to be serious nature of the FP, managed to find humour in Freddy got Fingered and think that Hercules Returns is an Australian masterpiece. But I’ve neglected some really, really good films …

Batman, Superman and The Avengers, these are all great films starring iconic heroes. But they aren’t the first heroes to ever appear. No, there were men risking life and limb in colourful spandex outfits long before Bruce Wayne developed daddy issues, heroes like the man who cannot die. The ghost who walks, a spectre of Africa… The Phantom! Last Updated: October 17, …
