Some movies are so bad they're actually good, Reefer Madness and Plan 9 From Outer Space come to mind for instance. This one doesn't even come close to that. It's a stinker in a bunch of different ways. If you want to waste the time, go for it, but I can't recommend it. Even veteran actor Tom Sizemore can't pretty up this pig, and the whole short time he's on screen, he's sweating profusely, like he's in a sauna or something. There's not even any dark humor or comic relief which might have helped a bit, though not nearly enough to make it enjoyable. I feel as if the producers should send me a check for taking the time to watch Megalodon Rising...It's that bad.

Even though the critics didn't much. I liked the cast, the sword fighting action and I thought the production values were very high. My one problem with the story line is, our heroes put their very lives on the line to try to depose the evil Louis and replace him with his twin brother Phillipe, imprisoned these many years, but they really know nothing about Phillipe. For all they knew Philippe might have been a worse king than Louis! Still a fun movie, so give it a try and you will probably not be disappointed. I have been a fan of Musketeer movies since I was a child and have read the original Dumas novel two or three times. Great stuff!
