A Máscara de Ferro

An unlikely encounter between different cultures

It includes: the Russian iron mask, martial arts experts, pirates, monsters, characters from Mortal Kombat, a dwarf, old Chinese sages, tea leaves, people who fly very high, kosacks who do not speak, enemy brothers, supporting roles which are sometimes there for 15 seconds, a final scene worthy of a Marvel of the fox, very bad villains, very cowardly cowards, dragons and a lot of WTF :)

The script is a bit messy, and feels like you've seen it before. Some main characters have no explanations , and the Deus ex machina are numerous ... Do not watch this film for the screenplay, or to discover something ... No, it's pure entertainment.

And I have seen worse, much worse. If you have a childish soul, and you miss the epic adventure films, with an Asian tendency, this film could please you.

It's really a shame that the English dubbing ruins everything.

To watch on a Sunday evening to have a good time.

This is advertised as a movie starring Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger but this is complete FRAUD. These 2 actors play side-line characters, which can't even be considered supporting roles, and appear for a minuscule amount of screen time.

The story is a nonsensical mess and the opposite of entertaining. The actual main actors are terrible and, I am not sure if they are to blame or the dumpster fire script, but calling them B-Movie actors would be a massive insult to B-Movie actors so I don't have the words to describe how bad the acting is.

This movie is not worth going into a more detailed review on, it is just complete garbage and someone should sue the producers for false advertising. Message me here if you want a plaintiff for that lawsuit, as I was unable to get my money back since I live in a terrible country for consumers.

What can you expect from a Jackie Chan movie? Too much, too little, too late, yes? Throw in Arnold Schwarzenegger, a few European retro stars and lots of Russian vodka lime twist with Eastern and western mythical creatures thrown into the mix and viola, 2 hours of silly whack. The acting of all the actresses are blatantly cliche and nubile so prepare to dumb down. I gave a 6 for costumes, good enough special effects, scenery and enthusiastic over acting by all the extras. It's not everyday so many get to make some coin and see Jackie and Arnold buddy up.

Far too long. Terrible dialog. It's a sequel to 2014's Forbidden Kingdom that completely recycled the plot, except this time it's in China. The visuals are great but the story is all over the place. It feels like they tried to cram three different scripts for three different films into one movie. But then, this is what happens when a Russian filmmaker tries to make a Chinese film with gratuitous international film stars.

It says that Oleg is one of the leading feature film directors in Russia. Sorry, not leading, not even know who he is, nobody knows him in Russia and I wish he hadn't made this movie. With such a cast making "this" was almost impossible but he did it, bravo, awful movie. Long, as stupid as only an ignorant can make it. Depictions of Russia, China and London are probably taken from Soviet poster caricatures. I think Arnold and Jackie will be ashamed of this movie, I cannot believe it stars Pavel Volya, an excellent stand up comedian.

BAD BAD BAD, please Oleg, don't make any more movies...........
