Okay, this is pretty spot on.
Huge MOTU/POP fan as kid and still am. I saw this at the theater and I was like "What the hell?" Where's Orko and Battlecat and why is the whole movie taking place on Earth!? Don't get me wrong I do have a lot of affection for the movie and it has grown on me. But I still have to admit it would be close to unwatchable without Frank Langella's Skeletor. He really does make the movie and to be totally fair, Meg Foster as Evil-Lyn is also pretty good. I know Dolph gets a bit of criticism for his acting in this but I honestly can't think of any other actor at the time that could really have done the character. He certainly looks the part.
I also do find a bit of dark humor in that any new MOTU movie or reboot will more than likely even be less close to source material than this one was.
