If the code base is arcane enough, code reviews won't matter. You just won't understand at all what is happening there. And the "Martin" will probably pressure you to accept anyway by telling the bosses "I can't work, they won't accept my code reviews".
That's true. But at least you will have evidence that Martin doesn't conform to the team rules.
