The A.V. Club
Although it isn’t actually a comedy, Iron Mask qualifies, in substantial stretches, as one of the funniest films of the year. - 42
Original-Cin
Fill the cupboards and refrigerator with junk food, lock the doors, roll yourself a couple of fat ones and settle in for a couple of hours of stupor/reverie. Warning: Resist any temptation to roll the movie back to figure out what just happened; it won’t help. - 40
Empire
It could have been a tantalising coming-together of two icons of action cinema. Instead, The Iron Mask feels oddly anemic. - 30
IGN
The Iron Mask is a mess of cultural ideas that not even Jackie Chan or Arnold Schwarzenegger can make work. - 20
The Telegraph
Incoherent two-hour fantasy epic isn’t quite accurate: it’s more of an incoherent one-and-a-quarter-hour fantasy epic, plus an all-star warm-up.
