The story could take place either before or after the beloved Jim Carrey film. The plot is set in the same location-the fictional Edge City-as the first Mask as well as John Arcudi and Doug Mahnke's comic books, upon which both films are based. The Godfrey Reggio/Philip Glass trilogy of Koyaanisqatsi 1983, Powaqqatsi 1988 and Naqoyqatsi 2002 all receive scores of 9 or 10 from me, and debatably they have no plots, even if they make many cogent, often philosophical, "arguments" about culture.But it's not that Son of the Mask's story isn't good. Two, Son of the Mask's other outstanding artistic qualities enable it to largely transcend any problems it has with achieving a spellbinding plot.Of course, related to point one above, it's not that every film needs to have a paradigm-shattering plot to succeed.
