Man in the Iron Mask, The
Dumas won't have stopped spinning in his grave since this big-budget atrocity hit the screen. Despite a cast to die for - Malkovich, Depardieu and Irons as the Three Musketeers, and a double dose of DiCaprio as Louis XIV and his much-put-upon brother - this is sadly short of swashbuckling adventure and epic romance. There's a swordfight (just the one, mind you, which doesn't last very long) and a scene where Depardieu gets nekkid with a couple of wenches (which is, thankfully, given his waistline, only marginally longer than the swordfight). When DiCaprio escapes his island prison by strapping himself to Depardieu's stomach he (unsurprisingly, given the aforementioned girth of the Frenchman) passes unnoticed by the prison guards. Mind you, DiCaprio running around in...
Pure entertainment
enjoyable from beggining to end, cast is very good and leo is good as the evil and good king!!! Need to watch and make up your own mind, but good entertainment
