Mask, The (DVD) (Re-release)

We like the movie and had to add it to our collection

For fun and visual humor, this film just can't be beat. Jim Carry is superbly cast as Stanley Ipkiss -- "Mr. Nice Guy" and one of life's loosers. That is, until he happens upon an old carved Norse mask (supposedly having belonged to the god of mischief, Loki). Once having donned the mask, Stanley is transformed from a meek introvert into a hip "man about the town" who turns every situation to his advantage -- and this occurs in the most comical fashion imaginable. Heavily based on cartoon-like animation (which the character, Stanley, has a passion for), the mask performs astonishing feats that will have you grinning from ear to ear. It's a cartoon show come to real life. The special effects in the movie are very well done. The Mask's first experience on the town (as he leaves the rooming house) with an animated clock and his unsuspecting land-lady, Mrs Peenman; his encounter with a rude motorist ("I think he wants to communicate"); and the scene with a couple of overcharging mechanics ("Hold onto your lugnuts, it's time for an overhaul!") are very well done -- and only the prelude to even better sequences later. One of the most priceless parts is where the Mask is cornered by every police officer (including SWAT) in the neighborhood, then turns the situation into a song and dance fest with a Cuban flavor. It's hilarious. (great music too!) Jim Carry is a natural straight comic - rivaling Robin Williams. His talents come across full-force in this film. And don't forget, sexy star Cameron Diaz also plays a prominate part opposite Mr. Carry. This one's a treat for everyone. If you haven't seen it yet, rent a copy today. Only the most dour will fail to find something to like about the film. As the tagline says, it's fantastic fun. ~P~

The mask is Jim Carrey most funnest n best movie introduce Cameron Diaz to Hollywood scene . I love gangsta movies this kinda of one but with twist of comedy n action . Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss a bank accountant who had no life and always the nice guy but always down on his luck until he finds a mysterious mask transformed him into a green super hero who now fight crimes agianst a mob boss Niko and his men . And Cameron Diaz plays Tina Carlyle this was her first role . This film turned out become a box of gif success launch Jim Carrey career further as comedian actor . It had toy merch and even a sat morning cartoon and a video game n comic that inspired this film . This 4k version by arrows and pic quality better than standard dvd n Blu-ray we got years ago cause the color stand out and see skin tones on actors n actress and dark scene u can see it better and film grain look appropriate for the movie and this has audio track 5.1 or Dolby atmos track which brings the movie to life as heard it in theaters in 1994 and this has extra and behind the movie stuff . This 4k is smoking

Great movie and a really good transfer!

Cannot say this enough this has to be one of the best restorations for a classic out there. Plus the addons you get in the boxset adds to the experience. The picture and sound quality has been restored beautifully. Cameron Diaz and Jim carrey n the mask mask looked amazing in 4k. Worth the pick up for sure. The doing his thing and antics never looked this good.

The Mask was one of those childhood defining movies for me. At the age I was, I became enthralled with cartoons and the animation process. The idea of a live action cartoon was just enough of a high concept idea to get my little 10 year old mind excited!! For years I had wondered if cartoon characters really existed in our 3D world what would they look like? How would they be lighted? Would the squashing and stretching work and look right? Luckily the mask answered that question for me! The then almost unheard use of CGI in film making was used to almost astonishing affect in this movie. I still think for some reason that these effects are some of the best seen in CGI enhanced movies. Even for the "cartoony" effect that the film makers were going for, to see that they pulled the squashing and stretching effect early on is quite impressive. The film itself is actually very good. It ignited the careers of both Jim Carrey and the very stunning 19 year old Cameron Diaz. The actors bring "A" game to this film and that's really impressive considering it to be very early efforts on their parts. These are the parts I admire each actor for the most. The internal drama that Stanley Ipkuss experiences is fairly engaging because many people relate to feelings of inadequacy and introversion and sometimes the wish of somehow "busting out" and "letting loose" takes on surprising constructs. This movie offers one fantastic and fanciful version of that wish which we see manifested in the cursed mask of Loki giving its wearer the ability to physically transform into their subconscious character. Its one of the zaniest uses of psychological experimentation you'll find on film. Most of all it's a fun as all heck movie that's hilarious and quotable from beginning to end. It belongs in anyone's library.

I was originally going to purchase directly from Arrow video however Amazon had this on a bigger discount so I went for it! I received it as advertised brand new and no damage. This is a great movie from the 90’s, especially if you’re a Jim Carrey fan (like me)! This movie was made for Jim Carrey because he is already so animated and the special effects enhance him to make a comic book character come to life! I would HIGHLY recommend this to comic book fans, Jim Carrey fans and also 4K cinephiles-this has film grain, colors are vibrant, and Dolby Atmos is bombastic (in certain scenes)! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie!

Husband loves it watches with grandkids would order again fast shipping and delivery

何十年経っても見たくなる映画。過去の作品へのオマージュも随所に隠されていて、それを見つけた時はニヤッとします。

Hervorragend 👍

In my personal opinion, The Mask is one of the best comedy movies of the 1990s. It introduced the world to Cameron Diaz, and Jim Carrey let his funny guy out to make audiences laugh. HD restoration is awesome and the special features in this blu-ray are awesome. Not bad for the 1990s

Jim Carrey in der Rolle des Stanley Ipkiss ist einer meiner Lieblings-Rollen des amerikanischen Schauspielers. Ich schaue mir den Film sehr häufig und sehr gerne an, hatte ihn aber lange Zeit nur als DVD und nun habe ich endlich die Gelegenheit gefunden und die Blu-ray für einen sehr guten Preis zu ergattern. Ich bin damit sehr zufrieden und endlich ist der Film vollständig, was er auf DVD leider nicht war. Was hätte man so alles für geniale Fortsetzungen mit Jim Carrey in der Hauptrolle so alles machen können. Deadpool lässt grüßen. Gerade deswegen gehört der Film in die Film-Sammlung. Fazit: Ssssspitze!!!
