The Man in the Iron Mask Reviews
Long in the tooth and unfocused and wastes its bang up cast.

As aging musketeers, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gérard Depardieu and Gabriel Byrne-each sporting a different accent-all look faintly embarrassed, like serious actors stuck performing at a kids' birthday party.

[UPDATED 2024 4K + BLU-RAY REVIEW] It's an irresistible story, but the movie suffers from clunky dialogue and a barrage of mismatched performances that represent just about every school of acting known to man.

[There's] just too much great stuff here for this version of the Dumas story to be summarily dismissed.

To these nonteen ears and eyes, the kid is no more real in either guise than his phony flowing locks. And the romantic scenes fizzle next to Titanic's steamy roll in a Rolls.

The Man in the Iron Mask needed more of a jaunty twinkle, more wolfish grins, less thinking and more doing.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 11, 2010
Leonardo DiCaprio times two. What more could you want? Perhaps more thrilling swash and buckle.

...this version of The Man in the Iron Mask owes more to Star Wars than Star Wars owes to Dumas.

Though a fine actor, DiCaprio is no Errol Flynn. With his choirboy face and chess-club physique, he is scarcely fit to play swashbuckling hero or villain.

A laughably flimsy remake of a frequently told adventure.

Para sorte de Randall Wallace, o material com que ele trabalhava era bom demais para ser estragado. Alexandre Dumas salvou o filme.

One big advantage this film has -- now brace yourselves -- some of the actors actually speak with French accents!
