Summary: Terrible movie
Review: I went to see "The Musketeer" expecting a fun flick with some over-the-top fight scenes. What I got was one of the few films I have ever wanted to walk out on. This movie is bad. I love Hong Kong action films, and I have seen many an actor fly across the screen in wire-fu action. Xin Xin Xiong is billed as a "legendary" fight master even though this is only the 3rd film he has choreographed. A quick check shows that most of Xin Xin Xiong's career has been as an extra in various Jet Li films. The ladder scene is remarkably similar to a scene in "Once Upon a Time in China." (Which was choreographed by Woo-ping Yuen of "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" fame.) The rope scene on the tower is just silly. (Why not just cut the ropes?) Hardly a "legendary" fight master. The acting is a bad as any I have ever seen. Tim Roth, who is usually great, sleepwalks through the film. What Justin Chambers does cannot really be called acting. There is no plot. Yikes! I could go on! Rent at your own risk. This movie is terrible!

Summary: save your money
Review: really awful movie. The main character was completely without expression or emotion. The climactic fight scene was so completely "out there" that you might believe you stumbled into Shrek outtakes. Honestly, what barn has over 20 ladders?

Summary: What the hell !!!!!!!!
Review: can't remember the last time I rolled my eyes so many times in a movie I knew within the first 10 minutes of the show that it was gonna [be bad]
See the acrobatic martial-artist French 17th-century swordsmen ' words you had a right never to expect to see together! and the action is so badly edited and darkly lit that it's hard to tell what's happening many scenes dark and difficult to see
This movie was one of the worst I have seen this year bad acting and the awful remake you must have watched Richard Lester's very enjoyable "The Three Musketeers" (1973) and "The Four Musketeers" (1974). Save your time and rent those two tonight.

Summary: It would be a rip off to see this movie for free...
Review: I saw this in the theaters with my friend, expecting to see a cross between "The Three Musketeers" and "The Matrix." Instead, I saw this poor substitute for a movie with terrible acting, character development, storyline, and notice how on the cover the "critics" say "Spectacular Action Sequences." They can only say good things about the fight scenes which are too short to count! Take my word on this: Don't waste two hours of your life watching this.

Summary: The worse film that I have ever seen
Review: This is the worse film that I have ever seen, the only thing that it has in common with Alexander Dumas story is the names of some of the characters, the rest is pure fiction, is a mixture of a series B chinese film Kung Fu fighters dressed as Musketeers (but only at the end of the film ) and a story created by someone that spend a night smoking or drinking God knows what and decided to make a film inspired by Alexander Dumas.
No historical facts, nothing in common with the book apart from a few names , an insult to history and Dumas.
This DVD ended in my dust bin..

Summary: The Worst Big Budget Hollywood Film in Years
Review: Forget about Battlefield Earth. Forget about Tomb Raider. Forget about Planet of the Apes. This is easily the worst big budget Hollywood film made in the last five years. Yes, the trailer was awesome, and had many a moviegoer drueling to see what the Three Musketeers would be like with some Hong Kong flavor to spice things up, but the movie itself is complete and utter filth. Where does one begin? First of all, the much-touted choreography is hardly anything but a cameo in this picture. Action sequences are sparse and everything good was on the aforementioned trailer. Wirework is excessive to the point where it seems that gravity is non-existent. The actors don't seem to want to be IN this film either, which is clearly reflected by their pained facial expressions as they deliver their incoherent dialogue. Even the cinematography is bad - sometimes it's too bloody dark to even see what's going on! And don't expect to see much of the Three Musketeers here either. They're bit parts, if that, and severely disrespected at every turn by the hero who should look up to them. This film has got some bad press, but not half as much as it deserves. If you want some Dumas, go watch the far superior Count of Monte Cristo. If you want some musketeer action, check out the 1998 adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask. Heck, you'd be better off watching Disney's 1993 Robin Hood rip-off. Just do yourself a favor and avoid this like the Black Plague.

Summary: my brain hurts
Review: This movie is pure garbage...After watching this for an hour and forty minutes I fell tired, and even dumber for the experience. The plot is interesting enough, but everything else falls on it's face hard. D'Artagnan (Justin Chambers) is the least interesting character in the movie. He mulls through his lines as if it hurts his mind to speak the flat dialogue they have for his character. Mena Suvari's flat dialogue at several points in the movie seem to coinside with the most mind-numbing parts the story has to offer. The sword fighting is good, but you never for a second believe Chambers is the one doing anything but waving a sword at nothing every ten seconds or so. The old man that teaches D'Artagnan to be a musketeer is interesting, as is the Queen, but Tim Roth, the coolest bad guy with a sword next to Darth Maul (Ray Park), seems as though he was trapped into the film and is nowhere near as intence as he was in Rob Roy. His charater seems to have no ambition in life other than to kill everyone and make a name for himself as the most evil man alive.
All i can say is a lot of people will rent this dumb movie because the trailer showed the most thrilling 20 seconds of the movie. In reality, the 20 second they show you are dull upon their arrival in the movie...

Summary: Swashbuckling action with Wushu flavor
Review: If you like Gong Fu action flick, you will find this movie entertaining since it combine swashbuckling action with gongfu style fighting using rope, long stick, etc. It is not suprising since the movie stun choreographer is Xin Xin Xiong, who co-star with Jet Li (Wong Fei Hung) in many of the Once Upon A Time in China movie franchise. However the climatic duel between D'Artagnan VS Febre looks like a bad copy of climatic fighting sequel in Once Upon A Time in China I.
