The Three Musketeers

Without James Cosmo, I would have stopped watching after a short time. This is very badly cast and the actor playing D'Artagnan is just appalling. I loved the Richard Lester film with Michael York in the role and that version was well written, acted, directed and cast. This offering is none of those things and is just embarrassing except for James Cosmo who lifts everything he is in. He must owe the tax man to be in this rubbish. Why did the producers think a new version was needed and why did they employing a casting director who clearly hasn't a clue. The sets are ordinary and everything is clean and tidy meaning there is zero atmosphere. I just despair at how so many rubbish films are being produced these days and being forced on us by Amazon and Netflix.

Alexander Dumas is turning over in his grave with such speed that if a generator was hooked up to him, a medium-sized city could be supplied with electricity.

That's how the sly-ass English realized their centuries-long hatred of the French.

Very boring movie. I've never seen such poorly staged fights. I was not impressed with the acting. From the very beginning the unfortunate choice of music hurt my ears. The picture is dark. A very unpleasant feeling after watching it. Don't watch this movie, please. Watch the trailer better, it is only one minute long. I just watched it. Very good trailer, much better than the movie. Or maybe it's just some sophisticated British sarcasm I don't understand, huh?

This was the worst movie I've seen in a long while. A shockingly bad script with wooden performances for most of the cast.

The actor who played the character of D'Artagnan was simply dreadful. Like reading the script for the first time. Not that he should shoulder all the blame. It was like every one of the actors were doing this in their lunchtime.

James Cosmo should feel ashamed that he got himself involved in the abject failure. His agent should be spoken to.

In the context of all the other 'muskateer' movies, this one is easily the worst. I'm surprised they got the money to make it.

Dreadful.

The film is extremely difficult to watch due to Malachi Pullar-Latchman's portrayal of D'Artagnan, a 17th-century French character, which is a glaring undeniable case of cultural appropriation. His casting undermines the movie's credibility for anyone who values cultural integrity. It would be equally inappropriate to cast an African actor as a Jewish character from Israel, a white Canadian actor as a 17th-century African king, an Australian actor as a Chinese warrior, a Japanese actor as Romeo, or a southern American to play a North Korean soldier. Anyone with a basic understanding of 17th-century France would have recognized that this casting choice was misguided. Social integrity is truly tested when people begin to feel it's acceptable to appropriate other cultures. Clearly the filmmakers and actor felt this cultural violation is socially acceptable, so why not? While some may tolerate such decisions in the short term, roles filled by cultural appropriators will eventually be regarded with the same revulsion as blackface. Poor acting, poor writing, subpar cinematography, this film is a flat out disappointing and frustrating experience. Its lack of cultural authenticity and quality makes it not worth the time.

Total Rubbish, the worst Musketeers Movie of ALL TIME!

It must have been given a £5 budget and that included the actors wages!

The boat scene, where it supposedly overturned was beyond ridiculous, that boat never went in the water, it wasn't deeper than a foot at it deepest! It was no more than a shallow stream!

This was the turn off point, I love movies and always look for something positive, this was very poor.

My first 1 rating.

Looking at some of the other reviews, I'm guessing this movie won't be turning up in many dvd collections, it certainly won't be showing up in mine!
