Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: It's a tale well told and nearly irresistible. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: An awkward and indigestible movie. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: It has a dashing and resourceful hero; a lisping, reptilian villain; big fights; big hair; lavish period scenery; and a story just complicated enough to let you bask in your own cleverness as you figure it out. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Despite its postdated irrelevance and its dopey title, this Daniel Auteuil vehicle is ludicrous fun. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A splendid entertainment, young in spirit but accomplished in all aspects with the fullness of spirit and sense of ease that comes only with experience. Read more
Doris N. Truong, Dallas Morning News: Sometimes, nothing satisfies like old-fashioned swashbuckling. And in this regard, On Guard delivers. Read more
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. Weekly: Too silly to take seriously. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: The film's frenetic action takes place across beautifully rendered landscapes, and the ever-lunging ambitiousness and ingenuity in its wordplay justifies the fencing term employed for the film's release in America. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: This far-fetched adventure tale might be old-fashioned, but it's also one of the best swashbucklers in movie history. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: A big, gorgeous, sprawling swashbuckler that delivers its diversions in grand, uncomplicated fashion. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: The cast has a high time, but de Broca has little enthusiasm for such antique pulp. Read more
