My Review
A few years ago or longer I did a movie with same title as this one so run into this one on Tubi where I watched most of movies this one was release in 1939 so figure I check it out and see if it is good then 1998 one.
This one is same story but a lot more into story this time we see what happens when 2 twins sons are born to the king the king best friend or so thought it would be a danger to have 2 kings when they grow up for some reason they only go with 1 king and hide the other one is later on Prison by his brother so it is one evil twin and the other one is good so that what makes plot very interesting how this will go.
Years later the mean king is rule his land for evil rather then good tax poor people being a mean one that for it is something they raise him to be like that but later on they meet and king want him to be him for the day more like filling in for him So the good king gets to see what his brother has done and try iron out problems but try to not to let the evil king know what going on if so you know the evil king will do something.
Pretty much he using his brother to fill in for first half but later on he puts good brother in mask of iron because he wants more power to himself can of odd he used him just to later on
Prisoner him it was a sad moment and I was hope later on it will backfired on him.
Later on the hero’s do get the good king out of the mask and then he tells his brother how he feels now so he put him in iron mask now evil king gets to feel what it like to be put in a iron mask for a while he trying to tell everybody he the king but no one believes him but later on they do and he gets now they save best for last evil twin vs good brother well they did that little but it ended in a crash for evil brother in a wagon and a pretty good ending as well that where I would go for ended.
Overrate a lot better then 1998 version that was good movie but this one had more to story along with great ending would of like to see brother vs brother at the end but they didn’t go that way and just ended evil brother in a crash but that didn’t bug me this guy was evil all he cared about was power this good king will help out good this movie also has good acting as well if you like good acting this was indeed for you and this one is indeed worth checking out if you see the 1998 version as well.
I give the man in iron mask (1939) a rating of 8/10 for great
