This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The Mask is both a different kind of comic book movie and hero! If he is even a hero is debatable, but he IS the protagonist of the film! There is no life changing accident that makes him a hero or a loss that sets him on a path of the grim and dark anti-hero! His life isn't too great before getting the titular mask, but nothing is truly awful either. When he wears the mask he receives some awesome powers and turns into an exaggerated version of himself(or Jim Carrey) an overly hyperactive jester with a broken heart(or a lonely heart at least) and then the fun begins... And it is fun, this movie is outrageously fun and thoroughly enjoyable!

I loved this movie as a kid in the 90s. I couldn't say how many times I've seen it. A safe bet would probably be more than 20. However, I hadn't watched it in about 15-20 years. There are lots of movies I loved as a kid that don't hold up too well when viewed as an adult. This one is still a whole lot of fun to watch even today. Surprisingly, the special effects are still pretty damn good. I've watched some 90s movies more recently where the special effects looked awful and distracting by today's standards. I can't say there was any particular scene in The Mask where I thought the effects were noticeably lacking. This movie does not take itself too seriously. It is basically a live action Looney Tunes cartoon. This could easily come across as obnoxious and dumb, but this film really pulls it off in the best possible way. Jim Carrey was perfect for this role. I can't imagine anyone else as The Mask. I also loved the use of music in the film. The song and dance numbers are highly entertaining. Overall, The Mask is just a really fun movie and anyone that enjoys those old Looney Tunes cartoons should have a good time watching.8/10************SPOILERS************Recommended for those that enjoy looney tunes super powers, really smart dogs, nice guys that can't catch a break, bumbling cops, douchebag gangster villains, 90s henchmen, condom jokes that go over kids heads, sexual innuendo, breaking the fourth wall, atomic wedgies, anally intrusive consumer feedback, swinging dance numbers, conga lines, ass biting, head p*ssing, bomb swallowing......but that's just like, my opinion, man# Of Times Watched: 10+

Ahh The Mask... One of my favorite movies from my childhood along with Jurassic Park... I use to own this movie on VHS but now I own it on Blu-Ray... But It has a very interesting history, Back in the 80's The Mask was nothing more then a Twisted Horror Comic published by Dark Horse Comics (No surprise really Dark Horse are always publishing some Dark stuff, But they have done some good stories like Aliens Vs Predator, Indiana Jones, Star Wars and some James Bond comics, But these days they've been publishing some Interesting stuff lie Anime and Manga based comics, Isn't that right, Mark Crilley? the man who did Brody's Ghost.) But then New Line Cinema brought the rights to the comic to make a series of films, in order to recreate the success of the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise the same horror franchise that put New Line on the map... Thank You Freddy Krueger for making this possible. Freddy Krueger: It's no problem Mr Barker, I also advised New Line to let Warner Bros. Entertainment by New Line to save us from bankruptcy... How ever When WB did a Remake of My movie, It didn't go the way they wanted.JWB: I'll be sure to check it out along with your film series and Freddy vs. Jason, Back then when people first heard they where making a movie of this Green Face, Some of them where like "There is no way this is ever gonna work!" Not only was the old comics Demented, Cruel and sick, But the Comic Book movie of the mid 90s where really crap at the time, Like Spawn, Batman & Robin, STEEL and Tank Girls, But when this movie was finally released, People where very very VERY surprised that Not only did the Movie barely resemble the comic but it was damn good for a change making it one of them weird rare exceptions of a movie adaptations the doesn't follow the original source material and is better for it Which explains why there are movies out there that are deviating from the original source material, Reasons why they did this change is to make it more appealing to everyone.I've watched this movie in the past and to this day, And clips of it in a Mexican hang out called the Coco Bongo like in the movie... hmm guess I now know where that idea came from. I really like this movie, Sure the effects might be cheesy a bit, But that is was makes this movie stand out among the bad ones in the past... Jim Carrey is perfect in this movie yeah he did Ace Ventura and he was The Riddler from Batman Forever...But the lest I hear about it's stand-Alone Sequel Son of the Mask, the better, For it was already covered by the Blockbuster Buster and the Nostalgia Critic with very questionable results... A big Horrific Let down to the Mask Franchise, If someone tries to do another sequel... Please let it be a Direct and proper sequel to the first Mask movie.
