Review of The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) by Jonathan Rosenbaum for Chicago Reader — 02 Mar 2014
The only other adaptations I've seen of the Alexandre Dumas novel (which I haven't read) are the Classics Illustrated comic book and the 1939 James Whale potboiler, both of which I prefer to this vulgar and overwrought 1998 free-for-all, which makes you wait interminably for the story's central narrative premise.
