He-Man and The Masters of the Universe, better known simply as He-Man or X-Man, is an animated series created by the Filmation company, which was divided into two cycles of 65 episodes each. The duration of the series was from 1983 to 1985.

The story concerns Prince Adam of Eternia, a planet that the treacherous Skeletor hopes to conquer, using cunning schemes and a group of powerful submissives. Adam, in order to protect Eternia from these plans, uses his magic sword, which has been entrusted to him by the Witch of Castle Grayskull, in which the secrets of Eternia are kept. Using this sword, Adam transforms into He-Man, the strongest man in the universe. Like Skeletor, He-Man has a variety of friends and allies who help him foil the plans of Skeletor or other villains.

Princess of Power, was produced for girls.

I think it's safe to say that He-Man was undoubtedly the most popular toyline since G. I. Joe and, perhaps, the first kids' television show that became a phenomenon.

Let me start by saying that He-Man is one of the most creative properties I've ever seen. As a fan of many science-fiction/fantasy franchises, He-Man is the only successful property that blends science-fiction with fantasy. The beautiful, odd, and imaginative worlds spice up a group of characters that can also be described using the same adjectives.

Speaking of characters, He-Man falls into the Category of making their heroes, in most cases, look like "regular" human beings while the villains are mainly made up of deformed, animal-esque humanoids.

Skeletor has to be one of the most iconic villains in American pop culture. Sure, his head is a skull-a frowning skull, but his powers, abilities, and personality make him standout from his fellow villains.

He-Man is a series full of wonder and excitement. This show still fascinates me and captures my imagination. I believe part of that, including my enthusiasm for many other franchises that include strange characters, creatures, and worlds, is the likely fact I'm a big kid at heart.

The stories tend to be a lot of fun, but lose some of their flare in the first half of the second season-although younger children will love those episodes. The series begins to recapture its first season magic in the latter half of the second season.

The animation is stock in most cases and can get a little frustrating at times, but it's very detailed and serviceable. Most cartoons, anymore, don't pay this much attention to the level detail on the characters or their backgrounds. It's great to see a studio, and a period in time, in which people took tremendous pride in their work.

For those who love science-fiction and fantasy, I suggest giving this show a try. I think there is plenty here for most people to enjoy. The creativity behind this series is extraordinary; most cartoon series, today, don't even come close to capturing some of the imagination that shows, such as He-Man, implemented.

It's one of my all-time favorite shows and I think it'll be definitely worth your time!

He-Man is highly recommended!

John Carpenter's remake, which basically the only connection it has with the '51 film is that they are based on the same book. In fact, Hawks was based on Campbell's book "Who going there?", while Carpenter is the one who brought it to the big screen.

Our story begins like this. A husky is being chased through the frozen mountains of Antarctica and is being chased by two people who are chasing it in a helicopter, trying to kill it. The dog manages to reach a camp where a group of people come out to see what's going on. In the panic they kill the two helicopter crew members, injuring one of their own team. The dog is saved and the footage showing it roaming freely in the camp and socializing with the team members makes us believe that the dog...Carpenter foreshadows what is to come. We soon learn that the dog is a carrier of a deadly alien virus, which takes the form of the organisms it invades until it changes into its true form to kill whatever threatens it When the team members find out, they begin to doubt each other and whether the one seeing is healthy or infected by the murderous alien. What follows is a peculiar sci-fi psychological thriller, with the elements of "whodunit" mutated in the case of "whoisit".

The research team consists of 12 people. 12 actors on one set - every director's nightmare. But Carpenter handles his characters with characteristic mastery, giving, with the help of Bill Lancaster's amazing screenplay, his excellent cast the space and time to develop them and give them depth and substance, thus helping the viewer to enter himself. In the impasse where the heroes are and to feel their despair. Kurt Russell stands out in the lead role, who gives here perhaps the best performance of his career.

He avoids the bad scene of the pompous and arrogant fake brat, playing the reluctant hero, who doubts his ability to handle the situation and the humility he brings to his character makes him all the more believable. Worthy of mention are the mechanical effects used to make the alien monster, perfectly rendering its form: And it is a sample that a science fiction film can be very scary and effective without the use of digital effects. The gray photography, the narrow corridors and claustrophobic rooms, the heroes isolated from the world and thus cut off from any hope of salvation, combined with the evocative music by the great Ennio Morricone, give a dark atmospheric thriller, a modern classic, always unsurpassed . For me it will always be right up there with the pioneer Alien.

A trully masterpiece!
