The Musketeer Reviews

Errol Flynn can rest easy in his grave.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Hyams is hoping that the newfangled wall-climbing swordplay will compensate for the inexperience of the young and relatively unknown cast members populating most of the central roles. It doesn't.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The Musketeer is an ambitious failure.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

The swordplay, which is what makes the older Musketeer-type movies fun, is mostly fast and blurry here, and actually not entertaining.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/10

Alexandre Dumas would be rolling around in his grave if this movie were lively enough to wake him up.

| Original Score: 1/4

Did I mention there are fight sequences? They are by far the best part of this movie, but even they disappoint.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

Without a doubt the worst adaptation of the popular Alexandre Dumas musketeer story that has ever been made.

Full Review | Original Score: 36/100

"The Musketeer" is an unfortunate attempt to graft the lyrical artistry of a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" onto an old-fashioned swashbuckler with disappointing results.

Dumas dumbed down for the MTV set.

The most realistic action scenes caught on film since...The Care Bears Movie.

A surprisingly decent bit of fun to close out summer's dog days.

Full Review | Original Score: B

One great action sequence, too much bad dialogue

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

If there is a wrong angle to shoot from or an ill-advised edit to make, Hyams goes for it.

The most exciting moment for me happened when the guy three seats down from me seemed about to wake up from his obvious slumber.

| Original Score: 1.5/5

For the third time in less than a decade, Alexandre Dumas is turning over in his grave.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Justin Chambers...is a thoroughly vapid lead, lacking the flair, charm, or acting ability to cut a suitably heroic figure.

Full Review | Original Score: D

"The Musketeer" is a modest mess of a film. It's not horrendously bad, but it's not extremely good.

| Original Score: 2/4

A case of misplaced priorities -- lavish production values and elaborate action sequences at the expense of script and performance.

Neither thrilling nor unbearable.

A stale Euro-pudding.
