"Son of the Mask" (2005) - Does This Movie Suck?

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

I thought the main character in this movie was called Tim not Ted.

[@TheMediaGuy]

OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY. You're right. 😳 I said the movie made my brain short circuit! 😀 Good catch. I wish there was a way you could re-upload youtube videos to fix them.

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

@@TheMediaGuy the reason why I remember his name is because always thought it was a reference to Jim Carrey.

@@TheMediaGuy Just tell people it's a copyright trap, like how mapmakers used to deliberately include minor errors. 😉

My best friend took me to this film when I was 10, we don't hang out anymore.

3:56 I'd argue it's between Carrey and John Leguizamo. The wide array of different expressions that Johnny Legz can contort his face into even earned him the nickname "the Latin Lon Chaney" in the 90s with mind-blowingly surreal turns in Julie Newmar, Romeo + Juliet and Spawn, but you see him in stuff like The Happening or Vanishing on 7th Street and he can definitely do subtle and underplayed. If there's ANY actor I think could have played Stanley Ipkiss outside Carrey, it would be Leguizamo, and I'd argue he gives him a very tough run for his money as a talented physical comedian.

Finally, DTMS is back!

This movie is basically every crappy kid comedy of the 2000's, like Cat in The Hat and Baby Geniuses. It also doesn't help that there are a crap ton of awkward transitions, dodgy CGI (even at the time), and creepy close up shots.

[@SuperCeleste007]

Also is it just me or does this movie not look like a movie from 2005 this looks like a movie from 1996 or 1997

[@robbiedistasio3131]

i hate the scene where otis has the mask on and trying to get rid of the baby alve and its daytime during that scene and in the universe of the mask it was set up in the first film that the mask doesnt work during the daytime only at night

[@NerdonFilm]

Thank you for watching these movies so I don’t have to. The trailer for this flick alone scared the crap out of me back in the day.

[@DiabloSandwich59]

Wanted to let you know that I consider this review far superior to the Nostalgia Critic's.

[@TheMediaGuy]

That's high praise! Thank you!

Son of a mask i can describe in 2 ways. 1 a faaamily picture 2 a movie that haunted critic

[@nicholasfoster716]

At 25:42 you can see the Pikmin 1 box art

[@TheMediaGuy]

Wow! Good eyes!

[@AustinShrader]

Glad to see DTMS.

[@RobertKonigsberg]

DTMS has the wrong punctuation mark at the end. Good to see you, DTMS!

Here’s the difference between Loki from the marvel comics (Owned by Disney) and this Loki from the mask series of the dark horse comics (Owned by New line cinema) you see as some of you guys don’t know that the marvel original version of Loki before being introduced into the MCU has been created my marvel since 1962 while this unrelated version of him from son of the mask isn’t the same guy meaning “These the two different Loki’s but NOT the same person with the same namesake “.

[@dxrk_heavens6892]

My opinion I think the mask is better then this movie no offense but that’s what I think.

[@whoopsydoodle5933]

This is my guilty pleasure movie. I’ve begun to love it over time only because of how bizarre it is. I met the lead actor once too and he’s a really cool guy.

[@superpan218]

Did I mention there was a clip of Alvey watching Transformers Armada? Sadly, it was the best scene in the movie in my opinion.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

Is it just me, or does the lead (when he's playing his character's alter ego) look like Nick Nolte?

[@kartikchandrasekhar4181]

THIS movie is VILE.

[@Oecobius33]

For a long time, I wondered what this film's deal was, but I could never sit through it. Thanks for giving this thorough review and analysis! One thing though: your definition of magical realism is a bit off, since you're basically saying it's any fantasy that doesn't turn into total cartoonish whimsy. In magical realism, characters (and the world in general) treat a magical thing in a very gritty, down-to-earth way--like in The Satanic Verses where one character turns into a devil-like creature, and he suffers police brutality since he's seen as a freak who's outside the law. Harry Potter is escapist fantasy; it isn't about ordinary schmoes dealing with the practical, ugly, everyday consequences of magic spells. That said, thanks again for the in-depth vid! It's refreshing to find a KZbin review on this movie that isn't a generic "waaacky youtuber," so that's much appreciated!

[@davenierop1540]

The movie would have been way better if the main character Tim would have been Stanley's son and he would be a kid instead of an adult who finds The Mask and goes through everything his father went through.

[@blueseanomad7435]

Yes. Glad DTMS is back!

[@superpan218]

Can you do a DTMS on Good Burger?

[@moxxiedemongamer3019]

yes this movie SUCKED

[@theofficialsmg5]

Sonic Movie And Bruce Almighty Is The Best!

[@SuperCeleste007]

Also the mask to is loosely based off the comics with the the name the mask character and having a kid have the powers of the mask those are the only connections between this movie and the comics it’s kind of like the Rambo sequels were the first Rambo movie first blood is based off The book first blood from 1972 and the first movie is a decent enough adaptation of the first book but all the other sequels only have 1 or 2 characters from the books does the kernel and Rambo that’s about it all the other sequels are their own thing and have no connection to the book because well there was no Rambo book sequel because just like how the movie was originallySupposed to end Rambo dies but they change that because the audiences loved ramble so that’s the reason why there are sequels to the movie but no sequel to the book because the book has Rambo die so yeah no opportunities to do a sequel to the book

[@LoganTheMediaFan2007]

Yes because it’s overrated the mask is better than son of the mask
