Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
JelenaG890 I don't remember much about the actual story line of this film, just that it was terrible. Bad acting, awful editing, and kung fu musketeers? Nope, not working. I think they were trying to cash in on the success of "The Matrix" and other films of that genre that were hot at that time. You're better off blocking this film from your memory. I pretty much have.
Rainey Dawn To change the story that Alexander Dumas wrote somewhat is fine to me as long as it is not completely butchered. Only a silly dumb comedy is the exception that I can tolerate. But to throw in martial arts into the story leads to a butchered disaster.The only perk to this film is that the swashbuckling scenes are choreographed well plus the costumes and sets are nice. The acting is mediocre at best. Other than those things - the film is pretty much awful.I will admit that I was thinking this film was another film and when I got to watching it and reading comments on it I then recalled seeing this version of The Musketeers before... I then fast-forwarded the film to watch. It's pretty bad.4/10
roneysam Horrendous acting quality ruined what could have been a very entertaining movie. dialogue exchange was so painful, I could imagine crapping a box full of razor blades to be more entertaining. A shame, considering the comfortable story line combined with excellent action sequences could have made for something that passes as entertainment, otherwise. Jean-Pierre Castaldi and Tim Roth are the closest things in the movie to an exception, otherwise every other so called "actor's" delivery of the dialogue reminded me of a bad middle school drama club presentation. The sets were at least adequate. The only reason that I pained myself to watch the whole movie though is that the fight scenes were somewhat entertaining. In fact, I ended up reading a book during many of the scenes, as the rest of the movie wasn't even worth my time.
SnoopyStyle It's France in the 17th century. King Louis XIII is weak and manipulated by Cardinal Richelieu (Stephen Rea). D'Artagnan loses his parents to Richelieu henchman Febre (Tim Roth). A grown d'Artagnan (Justin Chambers) goes to Paris to join the Musketeers. He finds the loyal order disbanded by the deceitful Richelieu. He befriends Porthos (Steve Speirs), Aramis (Nick Moran) and Athos (Jan Gregor Kremp). He falls for the Queen (Catherine Deneuve)'s chambermaid Francesca (Mena Suvari).This version tries to marry the classic French literature with eastern martial arts stunts. The fighting is impressive especially the ladder fight. The acting is muddled with many unfamiliar faces. The story and the construction is messy. Everything is muddy and brown which strips the picture of energy. Other than the fights, nothing is achieved in this new interpretation.
