I love anachronism! If you've ever watched The Man In The Iron Mask and found yourself wishing there were more gravity-defying, Matrixy fight sequences, then this is the movie for you. The story is as engaging as any of the other musketeer movies, the villains just as slimy, the ... read more
Silly muddled version of the classic tale. Poorly acted by everyone but Tim Roth and Catherine Deneuve and she is given very little to do. Ponderous direction and murky lighting help not at all. Try one of the many other versions of the story. Even the Keifer Sutherland/Charlie S... read more
At first The Musketeer may sound interesting to you, a retelling of the classic tale with a martial arts influence incorporated into the sword fights. Then you think about it for a second...and suddenly sounds shit. I have no problem with not using the correct accent in a film, b... read more
No. Not a good movie. And I usually like all the musketeer movies. This one was trying to be crouching tiger and didn't care if the story was at all watchable.
Another proof that hollywood just can't do Hong Kong action well, even with help from people of that industry.
Fine adventure film focueses on the exploits of young D'Artagnan. The kung fu-style fighting scenes seem somewhat out of place, but as long as you're going to be irreverent, you might as well go all the way.
A second rate cast with a motley collection of accents flounder in a robotically directed swashbuckler that completely fails to capture the charm of Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers, or even The Man In The Iron Mask for that matter.
While not as good as it could have been - the action in this movie is on the level of some of the best - Hong Kong Style - for action fans!
The results are mind-numbingly moronic. Full Review
The images are pretty, and Gene Quintano's screenplay gets everybody from point A to point B, though with no discernible knack for wit or subtlety.
If you're going to do it, you've got to go all the way, and not stint on the action, the acting or the production values. Full Review
Seems to be designed on the principle that if one fight is good, dozens must be better.
The Musketeer rollicks and rolls.
The movie lacks the one thing that the classic Three Musketeers story can't do without: panache. Full Review
Chambers exhibits a negative screen presence that seems to recede into the scenery every time he opens his mouth. Full Review
