Customer Reviews of The Musketeer
A Well-Intentioned Miscue Of all the swashbuckling action movies I've seen, this is, unfortunately, the most horrid one I've witnessed. Using martial arts with French swordsmen sounds like a good idea in theory, but to see it played out onscreen was just unforgiveable. You'd think more time would have been spent on the dialogue than the look of the film. Granted, it comes across as an attempt to be a trendy action flick, but it falls flat due to the acting. Justin Chambers had the look to play D'Artagnan, but he left his emotions at the door. Stephen Rhea was horrible as Richelieu. His delivery was flat and emotionless. Thank God for Tim Roth. He was the only bright spot in this film. You just want to hate the guy for who he is and how crazily mean he is. The action sequences are okay at best, but I wasn't amazed by any of it. The ladder fight sequence was interesting, but it ended kind of unheroically. It's a shame, since Roth did so well throughout the rest of the film. Would I buy it again if given the chance, probably not, but I would rent it...once.
What kind of crap is this supposed to be?
This movie sucked. The Disney version was way better. Don't waste your money on this.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
Lord, have mercy. This is one of the most stupid movies I have ever seen. The plot is weak. Even Tim Roth can't save this movie from being silly mostly because of the leading man and the action sequences.
Firstly, Justin Chambers is a terrible lead. Maybe he's pretty, but he can't act! I have no idea how such a bad actor got the leading part. He is completely unconvincing and has no charisma whatsoever. I didn't even care about the character and I found myself rooting for Roth.
Some people say that the action sequences are spectacular. Well, to me they are stupid and irrational. I mean, what the hell is this? Does nobody care about realism? D'Artagnan is fighting with a european sabre Kung Fu/Jackie Chan style! I have no idea how somebody could come up with such an idiotic idea. Don't get me wrong - I love Kung Fu flicks, but putting in Hong Kong action in a costume drama in 17th century France is ridiculous! You might as well cast Jackie Chan as King Arthur!
To sum up, this movie is just plain bad. If want to watch a good Musketeer film, then watch Richard Lester's. The fights are choreographed by William Hobbs, a EUROPEAN FENCING choreographer.
