UGghgh.what a dissapointment!īut The Man In The Iron MASK is DEFINITELY a movie worth giving a try.Michael Andrew Jace (born July 13, 1962) is an American convicted murderer and former character actor, best known for his role as Los Angeles Police Officer Julien Lowe in the FX drama The Shield. It was SOOOO much better than that "OTHER" more RECENT musketeer movie that came out called "THE Musketeer". I really don't know why people dogged this movie so much. I STILL can't believe that this movie was his FIRST film!! Very entertaining movie. It really tells the director's vision for the film and all the behind the scene info. I have both the VHS (older) and the DVD version (hey, it was on sale for 9 bucks!! lol) of The Man In The Iron Mask, and the DVD version (although not a whole lot of extras) has a nice directors commentary. John Malcovich was perfect for his role of Athos too. I almost had to ask myself if this was the SAME actor playing Phillipe! The plot was good (eh.might have been predictable, but eat), the cinematagraphy was awesome, the music was moving, the sword fighting/action was cool! I absolutely loved Gabriel Byrnes in this movie. At first I thought it would be cheesy, but Leo delivered it well! He played both roles of Louis (bad king) and Phillipe (good king) so diversely! I liked how he had you loving one king, and totally despising the other! Someone also mentioned the way Leo totally changed characters with his "eyes". All such a WONDERFUL cast, with good acting. I mean, have you seen so many good actors in one film? Byrnes, Depardieu, Malcovich, DiCaprio, and Irons. It may not be a "masterpiece", but it's surely a great, fun, entertaining film! First of all, the cast is great. Well, let me tell you.from the opening scene to the ending credits, I was hooked with this film! It grabbed my attention, and was just pure fun!! I don't know why this movie got such a low rating on IMDB. Plus, I had seen the previews, and they looked interesting. Since I love sword fighting movies/3 musketeer flicks, I just had to give it a try. I never saw this movie in the theaters (it seemed like another Leo-mania "no REAL talent" type of film), but I remember a friend recommending it to me one night about 5 years back.
