Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

For his robust and handsome The Musketeer, Hyams enlisted veteran Hong Kong stunt coordinator Xin-Xin Xiong to stage a clutch of spectacular action sequences that are amusing in the imaginative intricacy of their bravura. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Cody Clark

Quite handsomely produced, and there's a definite swashbuckling verve to it. Most of the characters have been contemporized, but the actors are engaging.

Mike Clark

If this is Dumas, there's a "b" in the middle and an extra "s" at the end. Read full review

Diana Abu-Jaber

Appallingly flat. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Dramatically as well as visually, The Musketeer conflicts with itself by trying to blend grand old- school costume drama and MTV- style rhythm and attitude into the same movie. The juxtapositions are often preposterous. Read full review

Steven Rea

What a stupefying thing it is. Read full review

William Arnold

Has the distinction of being the very worst of all the many film versions of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel, "The Three Musketeers." Nothing else in Musketeer movie history comes even remotely close to its staggering wretchedness. Read full review

I loved this movie. If you no anything about France during the 17th century you would love this movie.

The Musketeer fulfils the minimum requirements in most departments, but is all throughout uneven: Witty lines are followed by stuff that feels like it was copy-pasted from a template script; good fight scenes are made less impressive by editing and too dark a setting; a decent cast isThe Musketeer fulfils the minimum requirements in most departments, but is all throughout uneven: Witty lines are followed by stuff that feels like it was copy-pasted from a template script; good fight scenes are made less impressive by editing and too dark a setting; a decent cast is limited by a script that lacks depth or character development. Still, it remains watchable and at times even entertaining.… Expand

Incredible action scenes aside, there is really nothing to like about this movie. Even with Stephen Rea and Tim Roth as the villains, this film is still bad. But damn it, these action scenes are SO GOOD! And that is the only reason why anyone in their right mind should watch it.

Honestly, I'm not big on action films unless the action is interesting and creative. The Musketeer has some of the most creative and well choreographed fight scenes I have seen in a long time. If they put half as much effort into telling a good story, this might have been a good film.
This film would normally get a 1 but the great action brings it up to a 4.… Expand
