I just watched The Iron Mask

Oh Arnold Schwarzenegger. This drivel is on par with Killing Gunther. I noticed the credits said 'With the special participation of Jackie Chan' I didn't notice Arnold's name outside of listing him as an Executive Producer.

Arnold and Jackie Chan arrive early on, then disappear around the 40 minute mark, and turn back up at the end. His screen time is about 15 minutes if I'm being generous. It could be as low as 10 as he is in a few scenes, but he is not actually on camera. So I'm not sure why Randy was so thrilled with his " substantially bigger roll" he shares most of his scenes on screen with Chan. As for his love of Arnold's hand to hand fighting, I'm amazed if he does not realise that was done with a stuntman/stand in.

I knew what to expect going in, but I was still surprised at 1 minute 22 of 8 studio logos, then we get the opening credits which doesn't feature cast names, but a list of producers, executive producers, co executive producers and co distributors!!

Awful ADR, poor acting, woeful attempts at humour and some poorly executed fight choreography really drag this drown. It does look pretty though.

Apart from the undeniable charm of silly wigtacular duel of Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'The Mystery of the Dragon Seal' has not much to offer. Still, it is competently made and there is something captivating about the nuttiness of it all.

There's a dragon. There is healing tea growing from the dragon's eyelashes. There are white wizards and dark wizards. There is a princess and a fake princess. Master (Jackie Chan) is imprisoned in London under the warden James Hook (Arnold Schwarzenegger). His cellmate is the Man in the Iron Mask who claims to be Russia's Peter The Great. Miss Dudley is desperate to find her love Jonathan Green (Jason Flemyng) who is traveling with Cheng Lan to China. She's the princess and the daughter of the Master. Miss Dudley tries to free the Master and the Iron Mask.

Well, Jackie Chan and Arnold are only playing minor roles. At least, they get to have one fight. That is almost enough to recommend this. It's the fight that we've been waiting for. If only, it happened two decades ago. As for the main plot, it's a lot of conveniences. It's a little convoluted but relatively easy to follow. It's somewhat bad but not the worst thing in the world. Mostly, I kept wondering why Jackie Chan isn't in the group. It's a big mistake to show the audience Jackie and continue the plot without him.

Three stories in one. It would've been a decent TV show but was a horrible movie. The dubbing was bad, acting, script, all of it. Cool concept, bad execution. The CGI, costumes, and scenery was the only good thing that came out of the movie.

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.

Viewers need to understand this is an exemplary joint Chinese / Russian film. The English voice overs are pathetic & laughable. Worst thing I've ever seen Arnold & Jackie Chan ever do.

This film doesn't star Jackie Chan & Arnie, they have cameo roles in what I would call an afternoon b movie

Some times I just want a movie to take me some place completely new, and this movie did it. You can just sit back and let the flick take you on a nice dreamy adventure. I love the fantasy worlds it takes you to and the special effects were well done. It is a movie that keeps moving and has lots of eye candy. The acting was so so, but it was all done in good spirit.

Like most Chinese movies, there is a lot of pointless awful-looking CGI and the plot is a complete mess used to tie thing together, instead of the other way around..

There wasn't really anything memorable, and the few actions scenes weren't that impressive. Even the cast of heroes and villains are forgettable.. no good lines either. Nothing! This movie has no love and nothing going for it.

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.

The fact is that cultural influences of this movie - mainly being Russian - simply does not translate.

The cinematography is COMPLETELY horrible. The storyline is slapdash and the set design is crap! They've spent tons of money on Western stars and what they've got is something reminiscent of Russian fantasies of the 1950's. They've thrown in some Chinese martial arts and Wushu for good measure and mixed it with a batch of European pseudo-historical slop and called a movie. Don't waste your time. Russians simply haven't figured out how to make movies that relate anything worth seeing to an international movie audience yet. Certainly not where strong narrative of any kind is concerned and not since Eisenstein (and even then...yawn)!

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 a great movie to watch with kids. It has all the right elements and effects.. It's a fairytale complete with dragons! Deserves a much better rating than people are giving it! Plus it's riddled with great actors! An epic adventure for children.

Costumes are bad. Very predictable story line. I like Arnold and Jackie part but they don't get that much screen time. At least make the characters has some language barriers. The dubbing is very bad. Quite bad CG and there are a lot of them in the movie. Apart of Jackie's fight scenes, the rest or quite mediocre.

Look I am partial to slapstick and 'bad' movies but this was like watching a bad children's movie.

Left me feeling like I wasted my time. I watched Ridiculous 6 the other night and that left me with a better feeling than this movie.

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.

Arnold is lame and lazy in this role. Jackie is good, but neither have a lot of screen time. Adjunct roles at best. Movie overall...meh. Not bad, but not good either. Maybe that's what you get with a dozen production companies involved. Would rather have taken a nap than watch this.

I thought I'd take a chance and while I can see why people say don't like it, I found something pleasant about it. I like the visuals quite a bit, and I like that it doesn't take itself very seriously. It's sort of a weird melding of Chinese fantasy and Baron Munchausen.

It creates a fabric, or coherent world that's probably responsible for my pleasant reaction, along with actors who are just naturally pleasing on screen. On the other hand, it's clunky, drawn out, the dialog is stilted, it's sometimes disjointed, and a dozen other things.

But as I already said, it's fascinating enough visually to get you through at least one viewing. I never fast forwarded at any point which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of movies these days. I'm sure low expectations helped, but...

Aw, to heck with it. I enjoyed it. Gone with the Wind it ain't, but I enjoyed it despite its numerous shortcomings.

I genuinely went into this film with an open mind, and the film ended with my whole family and I feeling scammed. Including my 12 year old sister who apologized for making us watch this film, no joke. Jackie Chan and Arnold, both whom I like and respect, are in this film for 10 seconds. Clearly just a cash grab. Their "fight scene" was boring, and 99% of the film is focused on bland characters with bad english dubbing. Don't waste your time. Watch a youtube clip if you wanna see Arnold and Jackie "fight"

Lets face it you have to suspend all rational logic for many movies. I loved Game of a thrones but it was a total fantasy, warp factor four, stay wars! This has some great special effects just relax for some mindless entertainment.

So I run across this trailer and see my boys Jackie and Arnold in what appeared to be a non-typical movie; I'm Game! or so I thought.

Found it in a Red Box, took it home and knew in a matter of moments that the movie was going to suck simply due to the bad voice-over dubbing. 20 minutes into the movie and I realize that Jackie and Arnold, who were the center of attention in the trailer, were only supporting actors.

I know movies are going to suffer through the lack of filming during a COVID year but this is ridiculous. I paid 2 bucks for the Red Box, I feel like I should get $1.50 change back...

The Iron Mask Before I give you my opinion, ask yourself, "Do I like Kung Fu Theater and often non-sensical Russian fantasy stories?"

If you answered yes to both of those like I did, you'll love this. Added bonus, Jackie Chan, Schwarzenegger, and Rutger Hauer cameos

It's a mishmash of everything, 19th century London, Russians, fantasy creatures, and Chinese sorcerers and princesses. While the scenario is chaotic and some visuals are not so good, this is an entertaining fantasy-action movie, especially for children. Some scenes look beautiful, some fights are also cool. In conclusion, better than I expected. It goes well with nachos.

Another disappointing movie from Jackie Chan. His last 3 movies are so poor that he isn't the Jackie Chan we used to know . In this movie, the worst is Dubbing .... all English guys and ladies talking Chinese? Come on ! Why would you dub this ? Poor.....
