The Musketeer movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Though the first action sequence, with its wired flips and ceiling crawls, seems to suggest that a powder-wigged Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is coiled to leap, the rest of the film remains on the muddy ground until the clanging climax. Read more
Charles Savage, Miami Herald: Muddled where it should be exciting, The Musketeer presents most of its action in dark interiors with far too many cuts and blurry close-ups. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A grotesque slumgullion of kung fu, studio schlock and pseudo-Dumas swashbuckling that leaves you longing for Doug Fairbanks -- or even Don Ameche and The Ritz Brothers. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Regularly if inadvertently, Catherine Deneuve provides The Musketeer with its sole point of fascination. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Appallingly flat. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Belongs to the school of new-style adventure movies that confuse visual energy with visual cole slaw. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Chambers exhibits a negative screen presence that seems to recede into the scenery every time he opens his mouth. Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: The action is so badly edited and darkly lit that it's hard to tell what's happening. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: If you're going to do it, you've got to go all the way, and not stint on the action, the acting or the production values. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The Musketeer is, at times, a watchable flick. It's got the action. Lots of it. Furious swordplay. Galloping horses. Cannon fire. Too bad its 'all for one' is all for naught. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Philip Harrison's superb production design, Raymond Hughes and Cynthia Dumont's wide range of costumes, Gigi Lepage's gowns for Deneuve and David Arnold's rightly thundering score all help bring alive Dumas' romantic, tumultuous world one more time. Read more
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: Often, in the fight scenes, it's hard to tell who is doing what to whom, but since it's all glitz and no content, it hardly matters. Read more
Ty Burr, Entertainment Weekly: Musketeer's fight scenes are underlit, overmiked, and appallingly edited, with none of the spacious grace that even routine Asian action flicks get right. Worse, the narrative scenes make less sense. Read more
Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail: This is a terrible movie. But it has the strange quality that it seems to have been made by people who were enjoying themselves. Not enough, unfortunately, for the rest of us to enjoy it too. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: For the third time in less than a decade, Alexandre Dumas is turning over in his grave. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A jumble of action and motivation, ill-defined characters and action howlers. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: The latest cinematic stab at a swashbuckling epic is a useful primer of filmic derring-don'ts. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: The movie lacks the one thing that the classic Three Musketeers story can't do without: panache. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: If this is Dumas, there's a 'b' in the middle and an extra 's' at the end. Read more
Amy Taubin, Village Voice: A stale Euro-pudding. Read more
