With a cry of "All for one and one for all!" the Musketeers return to correct the injustices perpetrated by spoiled monarch Louis XIV, whose misdeeds include imprisoning his twin brother on an island and encasing his visage in the titular mask. Teen idol DiCaprio assays the dual title role, while writer-director Randall Wallace goes for the jugular with plenty of pomp and pageantry. [More]

Leonardo DiCaprio times two. What more could you want? Perhaps more thrilling swash and buckle.

...this version of The Man in the Iron Mask owes more to Star Wars than Star Wars owes to Dumas.

Though a fine actor, DiCaprio is no Errol Flynn. With his choirboy face and chess-club physique, he is scarcely fit to play swashbuckling hero or villain.

A laughably flimsy remake of a frequently told adventure.

Para sorte de Randall Wallace, o material com que ele trabalhava era bom demais para ser estragado. Alexandre Dumas salvou o filme.

One big advantage this film has -- now brace yourselves -- some of the actors actually speak with French accents!
