TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

cameronadrian First, I would like to say that without Jim Carrey; the Grinch, Ace Ventura, (the mask) and many other classic movies, wouldn't have been half of what they are. The Mask is an older movie that stars Jim as Stanley Ipcus, an overly nice bank teller who's kind of a push over. One day, Stanley meets Tina (Cameron Diaz), a dancer at the local night club and a bombshell. Stanley doesn't have the guts at first to ask her out, but he finds an old Norse mask (it belongs to Loki, god of mischief) by accident. When he puts on the mask, he becomes a flirtatious cartoon character that has superpowers and a large amount of confidence, something Stanley lacked on the outside. I love this movie, and I think that compared to movies around its time, they went for a new style mixing cartoon comedy and real characters. This allows for a younger audience to enjoy it as well as the parents of said kids. Yes, there are definitely some corny scenes, especially the fight scenes, but this sort of laid the framework for future movies that would do this type of interaction. I gave it a 9/10 because it had my attention the whole movie, Cameron Diaz is a bombshell, and Jim Carrey couldn't have played the Mask any better (in my opinion). One of the best scenes in this movie is where the mob boss makes one of his henchmen lay down and he hits a golf ball off a tee in his mouth. This scene was particularly powerful because the rest of the movie is relatively calm and less violent but this scene had a lot of potential for it. The mob boss ends up letting him go and this power play scene showed no questions to who's in charge, and what he's willing to do if you cross him. Of course, at this time in film history, happy-ever-after endings were quite popular, and this was one of them. The final fight scene is quite unorthodox, but Milo saves the day and the way they incorporated all the characters backstories and tied them together, really made the movie amazing to me.

andrew_flay Great family film, Very funny and now I'm getting older I get the condom joke at "sorry wrong pocket". Very funny a must watch for the family.

Art Vandelay OK, I get it. Dumb and Dumber is one of the funniest movies of all time. Ace Ventura Pet Detective is juvenile fun. So it's no big shock Hollywood greed-heads would want New Jerry Lewis in a movie where he can basically do his shtick and they can make a billion dollars. But painting Carrey's face green doesn't make him funnier. It just makes him creepier. Sure, there's some clever stuff in here, like his ''dying'' scene where he mimics Hollywood westerns, among other things, before parodying Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech. Clever. Not funny. But clever. I could see this being the greatest movie of all time if I were 7 years old. But as an adult I didn't find anything funny. Not one laugh. Not. One. Depending on one's point of view, this movie's huge profitability cemented Carrey as the new comedy superstar. Lots of funny movies and $20-million paydays followed. But for my money, this is his worst ''comedy.''

Joseph Barker Ahh The Mask... One of my favorite movies from my childhood along with Jurassic Park... I use to own this movie on VHS but now I own it on Blu-Ray... But It has a very interesting history, Back in the 80's The Mask was nothing more then a Twisted Horror Comic published by Dark Horse Comics (No surprise really Dark Horse are always publishing some Dark stuff, But they have done some good stories like Aliens Vs Predator, Indiana Jones, Star Wars and some James Bond comics, But these days they've been publishing some Interesting stuff lie Anime and Manga based comics, Isn't that right, Mark Crilley? the man who did Brody's Ghost.) But then New Line Cinema brought the rights to the comic to make a series of films, in order to recreate the success of the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise the same horror franchise that put New Line on the map... Thank You Freddy Krueger for making this possible. Freddy Krueger: It's no problem Mr Barker, I also advised New Line to let Warner Bros. Entertainment by New Line to save us from bankruptcy... How ever When WB did a Remake of My movie, It didn't go the way they wanted.JWB: I'll be sure to check it out along with your film series and Freddy vs. Jason, Back then when people first heard they where making a movie of this Green Face, Some of them where like "There is no way this is ever gonna work!" Not only was the old comics Demented, Cruel and sick, But the Comic Book movie of the mid 90s where really crap at the time, Like Spawn, Batman & Robin, STEEL and Tank Girls, But when this movie was finally released, People where very very VERY surprised that Not only did the Movie barely resemble the comic but it was damn good for a change making it one of them weird rare exceptions of a movie adaptations the doesn't follow the original source material and is better for it Which explains why there are movies out there that are deviating from the original source material, Reasons why they did this change is to make it more appealing to everyone.I've watched this movie in the past and to this day, And clips of it in a Mexican hang out called the Coco Bongo like in the movie... hmm guess I now know where that idea came from. I really like this movie, Sure the effects might be cheesy a bit, But that is was makes this movie stand out among the bad ones in the past... Jim Carrey is perfect in this movie yeah he did Ace Ventura and he was The Riddler from Batman Forever...But the lest I hear about it's stand-Alone Sequel Son of the Mask, the better, For it was already covered by the Blockbuster Buster and the Nostalgia Critic with very questionable results... A big Horrific Let down to the Mask Franchise, If someone tries to do another sequel... Please let it be a Direct and proper sequel to the first Mask movie.
