    Comedy version of the three musketeers. Good cast.

    At times, feeling like a spoof of the whole idea, while also paying a very enjoyable tribute to the charatcters and what is supposed to happen to them. Of course it changes many plot lines from the original stories, some for good and some that fall apart, but it is a very fun mov... read moreie from start to finish. As young D'Artagnan is on a mission to become a musketeer, he becomes faithful to his musketeer friends and fights along side them throughout the film. It may not have the heart, or genius cheesiness that the 1948 version had, but it wasn't really a masterpiece to begin with. These films are really just popcorn entertainment, and that is why I enjoyed this film. The acting is funny, the story is decently told, action is much improved, but the dialogue still remains cheesy. If you haven't been a fan of the original tales, books, or plays, then you definitely will not find yourself impressed by this picture, but I however am, and I had a lot of fun.

    One of the staples of my childhood, this movie is still really awesome though. Sure it's a little corny and it makes no sense that everyone has either American accents or outrageous French ones, but it doesn't matter when you have such a dynamite plot, visuals and characters. Chr... read moreis O'Donnell is overly earnest as D'Artagnan, but that's kind've why it's such a charming character. Kiefer Sutherland, OLiver Platt and Charlie Sheen are extremely bizarre in their roles, but I really don't see it being anything else. Where the movie truly excels is with it's diabolical villains. Tim Curry is too openly evil and perverted as the Cardinal and proves to be one of the most entertaining onscreen villains. Michael Wincott equally personifies evil as Roachfort, but he's just really flat out cool. To top everything off, this has one of the greatest theme songs known to mankind. "All for Love", performed by Sting, Rod Stewart and Brian Adams is a ballad for the centuries.

    This is really funny Movie. I think it should be a spoof of The Three Musketeers? A lot of LOL s and Stupidity in the early Charlie Sheen Movies as I m used to

    this film adaptation of one of the most famous swashbuckling books ever, whilst being a fun film, isn't quite up to the standards it could have reached. oliver platt is brilliant though
  • April 26, 2009
    I thought this was a good flick
  • October 31, 2007
    Though there are certain dark moments that make it a litte less Disney, it's still delivers swashbuckling fun from start to finish.
  • September 24, 2007
    totally sucks.
  • July 23, 2007
    Entertaining and comical, a good watch, with I think Oliver Platt being the most likeable in this
  • July 15, 2007
    really just young swords but enjoyable and action filled, rebecca de mornay is fun as milady de winter

Rewatch the Lester film or even the Ritz Bros.

A fun adventure, but nothing new. Average retelling of the legend. Platt steals the show.

Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium

A bubble-gum swashbuckling adventure, rapidly fading in the cultural rear-view mirror. Still, it goes down easy, and Tim Curry makes a good bad guy.

A stupid, bumbling misfire, which wastes a solid cast.

Audaciously limpid Disney swill that's so slick it almost convinces us Dumas had an MTV attention span.

Very mildly entertaining. Not even worth watching a second time, but it worked as a Saturday matinee.
