I think the Daredevil director's cut is a pretty good movie.

Masters of the Universe was an underrated 80s sci-fi classic. Yes, it did a lot of Star Wars riffs, but it also deeply paid homage to Jack Kirby's "Fourth World" saga (the portal the Cosmic Key opens up to other worlds is, essentially, a Boom Tube; Skeletor being a pretty clear Darkseid stand-in, etc.). That was done on purpose, and I think when people take that into account - which, admittedly, not many would think to without knowing to look for it, but still - it adds a new angle to the movie. I think people got way too hung up on how different it was from the cartoon. I'm so mad we never got that sequel. People forget, that was one of the first movies to have a well-known "stinger" at the end of the credits, teasing the sequel (which, sadly, never got to be). I still remember that going over huge in the theater when I was a kid.
