	1939 The Man in the Iron Mask - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills
		DiCaprio mostly acts through his expressive eyes--cold and steely for Louis, doe-like and imploring for Phillippe--to carry his performing end, although a few actorly flourishes, notably his poignant unveiling from the mask, suggest that his many admirers are on the right track for embracing DiCaprio as a James Dean-style icon for the millennium.
		Iron Mask's real pleasures come from its old-pro ensemble, with Gabriel Byrne heading the roster as a properly brooding D'Artagnan who eventually reveals why he's so devoted to Louis' louse ("Fatherhood is a blessing I can only imagine," he foreshadows).
		The Man in the Iron Mask boasts enough sturdy storytelling to get by, although it's obvious that this remake's raison d'etre is to entertain the female legions of DiCaprio's titanic fan club.

	Willamette Week - Movie Review: The Man in the Iron Mask - March 18, 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Man in the Iron Mask completed Alexandre Dumas' Musketeer trilogy, which was serialized in the press and immensely popular between 1844 and 1850.
		Therefore it is with a heavy heart that I tell you that the movie aiming to jump-start this exciting genre is the miserably deficient The Man in the Iron Mask.
		Neither the novel's theme of the fear of shedding what simultaneously shields and torments you (the mask) nor his thrilling sequences of action (the musketeers) are present.

	THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK
		The people of Paris, however, are starving and that and a mysterious prisoner encased in an iron mask in the Bastille may prove to be the throne's undoing.
		That's Leonardo DiCaprio to you and me, and this new twenty million dollar man is now such a star that he may knock his other movie from the top of the perch in a cinematic game of king of the hill.
		The initial, brief glimpses of the man in the iron mask (a literal description) might be unsettling to very young viewers, as might the scene where they finally take the mask off (and he looks somewhat like a mangy werewolf with long matted, and scraggly hair).

	Images - The Man in the Iron Mask
		Movies such as 1987's wonderful The Princess Bride are the exception and not the rule.
		So The Man in the Iron Mask is something of an endearing anachronism, a movie not afraid to deliver comic-book-ish fun while grown men wear frilly shirts, swing swords, and fight valiantly.
		The Man in the Iron Mask takes its time getting to the action, mixing equal parts mystery (as the truth behind the iron mask is revealed), melodrama (as King Louis XIV attempts to bed Christine), and comedy (as Porthos becomes bored with inactivity and contemplates suicide).

	The Man in the Iron Mask \| Movie Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		Sneaking Philippe out of prison, the Musketeers remove his mask and discover, under layers of gritty matted hair, a milky-skinned waif who has known the tortures of the damned yet somehow clung to higher goodness.
		It was a real mistake to put Philippe back in the iron mask for the action climax, as if he were some damaged 17th-century superhero called Mask Boy.
		In The Man in the Iron Mask, though, all he can really do is put his best face on a swashbuckling potboiler.

	THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK movie review, In Film Australia
		The Man in the Iron Mask is one of those indulgent, corrosively funny films with one liners that send cheers from the audience and genuinely pointless scenes that receive sniggers and snorts a’ plenty.
		Three of the four main musketeers (Irons, Malkovich, Depardieu) that faithfully served his father decide that they have had enough of Louis’ evil ways, and devise a scheme to replace the King and bring justice to the people of France.
		The Man in the Iron Mask is at times a reasonably entertaining film, and if you’re excited about the promise of musketeers in shiny uniforms then you perhaps you will enjoy it a little (or a lot) more than I did.

	THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK
		Aramis has become a priest and is an advisor to the king while Athos is content to be the proud father of a son (Peter Sarsgaard) who wants to follow in his footsteps.
		With the inestimable acting talents of its first- rate cast and a script that allows for action, emotion, and humor in proper proportion, "The Man in the Iron Mask" is a far cry from the smarmy "Three Musketeers" movie released a few years ago by Disney.
		Irons, Byrne and Malkovich are at the top of their form in this engrossing period piece, but Depardieu deserves special mention for his particularly vivacious performance.

		Prisoner number 64389000, the Man in the Iron Mask." And so begins the movie that will be bringing young girls to their knees.
		After pulling the switch at the king's royal costume ball they almost escape before d'Artagnan (Gabriel Byrne), the Musketeers old friend and knew Captain of the Musketeers, realizes that Philippe is too kind to be King Louis and foils their plot.
		For the most part, however, The Man in the Iron Mask is and entertaining movie and isn't a waste of you money to go see, unless you were expecting another Titanic, in which case you will be dissapointed.

	The Man In The Iron Mask, 1998 movie review
		The Man In The Iron Mask, 1998, stars Leonardo DiCaprio as King Louis XIV and his twin brother Philippe.
		Philippe, separated from the royal family at his birth and raised in secret, does not know who he is. His father did not want his two sons to fight for the throne, so he sacrificed one by sending him away and pretending he never existed.
		Later on, Philippe is locked up in Bastille, with an iron mask permanently affixed onto his head so that nobody ever sees his face and his striking resemblance to the king.

	The Man in the Iron Mask - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		With Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich and Gerard Depardieu as the trio of swordsmen, Gabriel Byrne as their pal D'Artagnan, and Leonardo DiCaprio as both King Louis XIV and the title character, no one can be accused of holding back in the casting department.
		The closest "Mask" comes to a unifying tone is, unfortunately, one of raunchy comedy, with numerous crude jokes about sex and bodily functions intended to appeal to who knows who.
		The ramifications of both events lead directly to that unhappy masked man and all manner of swordplay.

	Internet Archive: Details: The Iron Mask
		While still a fun movie, it should be noted that this is not the 1929 original "Iron Mask," but a reissued version created in 1952.
		This is an interesting and fun movie, and the story more believable than many of today's rehashed versions of the alexander dumas classic (there's even a shot of all four musketeers in bed together like sardines - which caused a chuckle considering that the scene in todays Hollywood would have been excised very quickly).
		I'd say the movie was released about the same time as sound recording emerged, and the movie re-edited to contain Fairbank's ongoing monologue - a voice that is still unique today.

	Movie review: The Man in the Iron Mask
		"Iron Man" is as complex as its conflicted protagonist.
		The first movie self-financed by Marvel Studios, it combines the thrills of a summer popcorn spectacular with the craftsmanship of a prestige picture.
		Superheroes also need adoring girlfriends, and "Iron Man" has a keeper in the form of Virginia Potts, Stark's secretary and slowly thawing love interest, played with self-assured humor by Gwyneth Paltrow.

		But when he asks rhetorically, "So, are there more important things in life than a good pair of tits?" his diction is so incomprehensible that he may as well have one in his mouth, and the jig is up.
		But as it is, "The Man in the Iron Mask" is merely scatterbrained and graceless.
		The three original Musketeers -- Aramis (Jeremy Irons), Athos (John Malkovich) and Porthos (Depardieu) are still kicking around the kingdom, pretty much retired -- except Aramis is the secret leader of a rebel Jesuit faction that opposes the greedy, selfish, preening king.
