I choose the fourth, hidden answer, Bob. Having my brain liquified and gouged out through my nostrils.
But seriously, there simply was no saving that movie. They tried, but they did not succeed. Whether they're from another planet, or time travelers. They were both really bad ideas.

Skeletor gets the prize for being perhaps the coolest licensed bad guy ever brought to the screen, simply because he was so much better than his cartoon counterpart. He's got some of the best lines ever.
"Tell me about the loneliness of good. Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?"
"I am not in a giving vein this day."
That whole sequence before the Eye of the Galaxy where he gives his big monologue is just plain awesome. Frank Langella is my hero.
There absolutely no one else who could have pulled off Skeletor so perfectly and not come off as uber cheese. He's the best part of that movie.

Ten points for getting that one. I didn't even realize that it was him until I picked up Masters on DVD a few years ago. I did remember Courtney Cox though, there another who had to pay their "dues" before.
