      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 #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
