Son of the Mask

A struggling cartoonist Tim Avery unexpectedly discovers the magical Mask of Loki, which grants him god-like powers and turns him into a cartoonish superhero. However, his newfound abilities cause chaos in his personal life, especially when he has to protect the Mask from the Norse god Loki himself and also deal with the consequences of his actions on his wife and their unborn child.

Son of the Mask was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. It is widely considered a critical and commercial failure, often cited as one of the worst sequels ever made. The film was criticized for its over-the-top humor, weak plot, and lack of charm compared to its predecessor.

• The film suffers from an abundance of gratingly excessive CGI and a nonsensical plot.

• It lacks the charm and wit of the original, opting for cheap laughs and slapstick.

• Performances are broadly comedic, failing to anchor the story or characters.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a strong dislike for the film, with many finding it unfunny, annoying, and a poor imitation of the original. The overuse of special effects and the crude humor were frequent points of criticism.

Nominated for several Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Remake or Rip-off and Worst Actor (Jamie Kennedy).

The character of Loki was originally intended to be more of a trickster and less overtly villainous, but the script was significantly rewritten during production.
