I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

What a waste of my time!!!

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

In a France ruled with tyranny by King Louis XIV, the three legendary ex-musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, decide to take action against their ruler after Athos' son gets killed on the battlefield. Knowing that Louis has an exiled brother, hidden in a remote prison, they conceive an ingenious plan to exchange them. Their plan will prove to be much harder than expected but they are determined to pull it off.A great movie which presents a classic story with great actors in a beautiful but dramatic way. It has some great sword fights and a very interesting plot which guarantee to keep your attention till its glorious ending. I enjoyed this movie numerous times so I definitely recommend this one to everyone looking for a great classic story, greatly implemented.

THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK is less a Hollywood blockbuster version of the Alexandre Dumas novel and more a vehicle for the then-huge star Leonardo DiCaprio, fresh from the titanic success of, well, TITANIC. Thus this is a faintly ridiculous movie, MTV-style in the lingering poster-boy shots of DiCaprio, who singularly fails to make much difference between the twin characters he plays.The rest of the film is an eventful but lifeless exercise, marred by the endlessly dated direction (a surprise given that Randall Wallace would go on to make the excellent and gritty WE WERE SOLDIERS). The frequent sword fights are more like street brawls, the sets look just like that, and the actors are picked for name value rather than role suitability. The likes of Gerard Depardieu, Gabriel Byrne, and Jeremy Irons have all done fine work elsewhere, but as the musketeers they feel sluggish and half-hearted, and don't get me started on the dumb humour.

Loosely based on Alexandre Dumas' classic adventure novel, specifically the third part of the third part of the d'Artagnan trilogy (yes, I worded that correctly), 1998's "The Man in the Iron Mask" stars Leonardo DiCaprio in a dual role as both the titular Phillipe and the spoiled, oppressive King Louis XIV of France. Gérard Depardieu plays d'Artagnan, the loyal captain of the guard who's also in love with Louis' mother, played by Anne Parillaud. Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich and Gérard Depardieu star as the legendary aging three musketeers (d'Artagnan is the fourth) while Judith Godrèche plays the king's love interest. The plot revolves around a scheme by the three musketeers to depose Louis and replace him with his twin brother, the mysterious man in the iron mask imprisoned in the Bastille.For some reason I thought this was going to be a roll-your-eyes take on the story, like a mishmash of The Three Musketeers with Indiana Jones, but I was surprised and pleased to see that it's actually a serious quasi-historical drama/adventure, which isn't to say that there aren't eye-rolling movie moments. Basically, if you liked "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" (which came out four months after "The Man with the Iron Mask"), but would prefer a slightly more realistic tale, you'll probably like this, as long as you don't mind the blatant deviations from the classic book.Some people complain that DiCaprio is too effeminate as Louis, but the real Louis XIV was effeminate, so what's the problem? As for Phillipe, the man the movie's named after, the story focuses more on the four legendary musketeers, which explains my title blurb, but that's okay on account of the four formidable actors in the roles.I would've thought that having an imprisoned commoner suddenly becoming the king of France would be a good story angle, but that's not the direction the movie takes. In fact, the entire third act piqued my interest because it was so unpredictable. At first, I was turned off by d'Artagnan's sudden and curious change of mind on something, but the ending reveals why.Unfortunately, I can't give the film a higher rating because of a few aforementioned eye-rolling parts. The highly unlikely way Phillipe is rescued from prison is one and another is the way the three musketeers try to drive Louis batty at the dress ball by making him think he sees iron masks everywhere. Lame elements like this needed to be tweaked or worked out of the script altogether.The film runs 132 minutes and was shot entirely in France.GRADE: B- (or 6.5/10 Stars)

I saw this film about a year ago and loved it the minute I saw it! The plot is wonderful, the acting perfect, the costumes are beautiful as are the locations and sets, the whole thing is great! The story is well told and intriguing, keeping you interested through the whole film. And I loved some of the unexpected plot twists, especially near the end. WARNING BIG SPOILERS HERE The fact that D'Artagnan loved Queen Anne and that King Louis and Philippe were his sons, the was a great idea! I didn't like D'Artagnan dying at the end, that was really sad but Leonardo Dicaprio gave an amazing performance in that scene so it wasn't all bad. Also that they put Louis in the mask after, I thought that was a little cruel for good guys to do. I mean he was evil and everything but still, almost no one deserves a fate like that. But I guess he got a pardon later so... END OF SPOILERS Anyway as for the leading man, I think this was one of Leonardo Dicaprio's best films. He was perfect in playing both the spoiled brat Louis and the kind, oppressed Philippe. His performance was, I think, the best part of the film. The scenes where the twins are together was an example of some amazing filming. The two Leos fit perfectly, it was like it really was twins instead of the same actor! Jeremy Irons was really good as Aramis and I loved Gabriel Byrne's D'Artagnan too! All in all a great film. Bravo! Encore!
