Customer Reviews of The Mask (New Line Platinum Series)
An incredibly funny and entertaining movie. The story is of Stanley, a bank officer, a 'nice guy' who always finishes last. At the lowest point of his desperation, he gets hold of the Mask, and with it, he becomes the Norse god of mischief. It allows him to do what ever he wanted to do with immunity. He finds an out let for his repressed angers (against the Car mechanics) and desires (to be with Cameroon). But the story takes a turn when the 'masked' Stanley runs up against some bank robbers and beats them to the loot....
I bought the DVD 5 years after I had first seen the movie at the theatre. I had a lot of fun watching it at the theatre, but I felt that watching it on DVD was even better. The masked version of Stanley (Jim Carrey) is almost cartoonish and brings out the inner most desires of Stanley (whose version of a good evening was to watch cartoons). The movie does bring out Carrey's best talents, and even more amazing was his and Cameroon Diaz's dance (which was not their talent before the movie). The part I love best is the 'Rumba beat' dance and when Stanley's dog gets hold of the mask.
The DVD has the director's commentary and some deleted scenes. The commentary does help in appreciating the effort that went behind the scenes, and having the DVD allows you to look scene by scene at the amazing amount of things that happen to the Masked characters in a short period, you get to look at some scenes carefully which you might have missed while watching it at a theatre.
The director hinted at a possible sequel to the Mask and I am still awaiting it! I am sure it's gonna be as 'Smokinn..' as this one.
Carrey'd Away
THE MASK is the film that made Jim Carrey a movie star. Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a nerdish bank worker, whose hum-drum life is about to change in a big way. Stanley finds an ancient mask, that alters his personality, and causes his innermost feelings and desire to surface. The once shy nerd turns into a green face, big grinning party animal. Directed by Charles Russell, who allows Carrey to be his over the top antic self, as his cartoonish alter ego, The Mask, wisely keeps things moving at a brisk pace. Some of the Mask's bits are real howlers, like the first time he tries to woo the lovely Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz in her big screen debut), or the climax, when he tries to defeat the evil, Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene), who wants to use the mask's power for dastardly deeds. Stanley's dog and sidekick Milo (almost) steals the show with a few antics of his own. The film has plenty of laughs and some fine F/X--a winner especially if you are a fan of Carrey's. Viewers can choose to watch the film in either Widescreen or Pan and Scan formats
The extras on The Platinum Series DVD are pretty good too. The commentary track from Russell is never dull. The deleted scenes offer a few more laughs from Carrey. Production notes, cast and crew information, and the theatrical trailer, round out the DVDs "added value material".While the handfull of extras are nice to have, Jim Carrey is the real reason to buy this disc. Recommended for the fun of it.
FUN HAS NEVER BEEN SO GREEN
Did you know that this excellent comedy was planed to be a horror?! Based on popular comic, THE MASK would be a storu about green killer who tells sarcastic remarks, while he's tearing a part his victims with an axe. But, when director Chuck Russell got Jim Carrey for this role he decided to do a comedy. And lucky for him and us he did a great job. I remember when I saw THE MASK for the first time. Fantastic story, interesting characters, and of course, Jim Carrey in role which made him famous. Story is about unsuccessful, shy banker who comes in possesion of an ancient wooden mask which turnes him into a wild, green, party creature who now has everything: powers, money and love. It influented on me so much that I find the same dog like Milo (that is one damn smart dog!). Carry gave the best of himself: he danced, sang and made jokes all the time. Cameron Diaz left me breathless, and two caps..., well, see it for yourself. This film guaranties fun whole 90 minutes it lasts and trust me, you will love it.
