This movie had some real problems three minutes in. I had to stop watching it after ten, and that was with an edited version. One of the main themes was sexual dialogue, so you can imagine how that went. My mom says it's a good movie, but it is not appropriate for teens and kids.

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Man in the Iron Mask was written by Nell Minow
Parents need to know that there's coarse language, overheard sex, suggested group sex, and a young woman who kills herself when she finds out that the king deliberately caused the death of her beloved.

What’s the Story?
It's more than 20 years since the "all for one and one for all" days and the Three Musketeers and their friend D'Artagnan (Gabriel Byrne) have gone their separate ways. Athos (John Malkovich) is a loving father to his son, Raoul, himself a Musketeer, Artemis (Jeremy Irons) is a priest, and Porthos (Gerard Depardieu) is something of a libertine. Only D'Artagnan is still in service to the cruel and selfish young king, forever loyal to the crown, if not the man who wears it, and to his own true love, the king's mother. A mysterious prisoner in an iron mask turns out to be the king's identical twin brother, and the original Musketeers free him so they can substitute him for the king, whose subjects are rioting in the streets to protest his neglect and abuse.
Is It Any Good?
MAN IN THE IRON MASK is a respectable -- if slow-moving -- swashbuckler with teen idol Leonardo DiCaprio appearing as the twins. With double the roles he plays in Titanic and some good sword-fighting scenes, this will have strong appeal for boys and girls in the 8-16 range.

not so bad
this is ok for people my age, there are some scenes of sex that can be somewhat inapropriate. There is some violence but not much blood, only a stain on a dagger, a man gets shot with a cannon but you only see him fall, the drugs are low. I think this is worth seeing, I'd say it's appropriate to kids 10 or 11 years and up.
