Overall though, it was very predictable and dull. The monologue proclaiming Louis XIV as one of the greatest Kings of France was especially trite.

Top notch cast make this somewhat blah film watchable.

I don't care what anyone says, I think this movie is wonderful. This movie may be the reason I like Jeremy Irons as much as I do

Considering the people involved, an extremely disappointing film.

only one word can describe this movie - awesome!!! I love Alendre Dumas books & one of them is this movie "The Man in the Iron Mask." =)
