      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Castle of Grayskull brings the powers to those who are The Masters Of The Universe He-Man (Lundgren) continues to lead the resistance against the evil Skeletor who desires the power of Grayskull. This battle between good and evil is based upon a favorite 1980s cartoon. Includes audio commentary, character introductions, waste-of-time cast and crew section. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits images that are generally sharp, but details often appear smeared. Colors are rich and well balanced, with generally accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. There is some pixelization evident, as well as shimmering details, but edge enhancement is infrequent. Film grain and artifacts are revealed from the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #130 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review contains the most comprehensive information available on new products, market trends, and emerging technologies. Your detailed analysis of display and recording technologies sets the standard by which other industry publications should be measured. I purchase millions of dollars of A/V gear yearly, and Widescreen Review helps me keep up-to-date and ensure that the technologies that I am purchasing will not be obsolete in a year. New product reviews in Widescreen Review are both accurate and honest. If a product performs poorly, I want to know about it. Unlike other trade publications that give glowing reviews on every product, Widescreen Review can be counted on for the real story.
