The 1998 adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask was a complete cash in after Leonardo Dicaprio’s success in Titanic. It’s super cheesy and epically bad but it is still a guilty pleasure of mine. Below I’ve listed a few reasons why.
John Malkovich plays himself
Gabriel Byrne talks with an Irish accent while playing a French character (and yes, he never changes his expression throughout the film.
Hugh Laurie AKA House
Poor attempt at romance
I wish I could have found a clip for this but the infamous “ball scene” is horrendous.
Luke I am your Father moment. Sad attempt at sentimentality but instead is laughable.
Nooooo! I just wasted 2 hours
