60 of 79 · most liked firstI've taken a bit of a risk with today's movie with dad The Man In The Iron Mask I said "You know D'Artagnan, and Three Musketeers? All that guff?" and he stared at me blankly 😬 Then he said just tell me who the main good one is & I said "Well, the main good one and main bad one are identical" 😬

Also, Dumas based D'Artagnan from *The Three Musketeers* and it's sequels (the last of which was *The Man in the Iron Mask*) on an account of the life of [Charles de Batz de Castelmore D'Atagnan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Batz_de_Castelmore_d/'Artagnan), later Captain in the Musketeers and also for a time Governor of Lille.

I started reading my 1st Spenser novel & gave up on page 3. A year later, I tried again & became a fan. #StarTrekSFA #StarTrek
neutral · AI labelView post →With all the remakes of Three Musketeers, you'd think someone would go for a *proper* take on the Man in the Iron Mask (face it, as fun as the above movie is and can be, it's a pastiche of the book at best with weird tonal shifts. I like it but it could have been even better than it was)

neutral · AI labelView post →A2. About the only thing that comes to mind is The Man in the Iron Mask, since the mask is an attempt by a bad man to stop a good one. At least, in the old film (I'm not an expert on the Dumas). #WriteStuff

negative · AI labelView post →🎞️ The Man in the Iron Mask 🗨️ English More Musketeers for everyone; more Irons for Kassna and me. Loved watching this, was very aware that knowing more about the politics back then would have made it easier for me. Amazed by DiCaprio's acting and so happy with the last stand. ⭐ movie [8/10]
positive · AI labelView post →1. The Man in the Iron Mask Good film off from The Three Musketeers, I enjoy a story about losing family to gain it and lose it again to gain it again. John Malkovich has a good performance as a sad father, loved the whole 10 minutes of bare man ass with Gérard Depardieu.

positive · AI labelView post →I think I would have preferred something more serious. I watched The Man in the Iron Mask not too long ago, unaware it was a sort of musketeers sequel, and I think I like that film more now after having seen this, even though I found it pretty much just fine at the time.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know if you'd call it a historical movie but the jist of it is true. And I love it "The Man in the Iron Mask"
positive · AI labelView post →It was the same with the Man in the Iron Mask movie with Leonardo Dicaprio in the title part. Gerard Depardieu with a French accent, a couple of actors with English accents, another Irish and Malkovich and Dicaprio proudly American. It made the only French actor sound foreign.

What could have been bigger in 1998 than DiCaprio’s follow up to Titanic written by the writer of Braveheart? Irons, Milkovich, Depardieu are all more than solid actors.
