Die drei Musketiere - Helden der Krone

Dear producers, actors and others

Listen, are you kidding me??? D'Artagnan was black ??? Stop it!!!

Every movie, every parable has its own story. Well, you can't indulge someone who needs it like that. D'Artagnan was never black, why film such a blatant lie??? The directors and producers just ruined this beautiful story. I am disgusted.

If you commissioned this movie, you should be ashamed. Because you ruined one of the best adventure stories ever. Please, for the future, before shooting any historical film, at least familiarize yourself with French history a little.

I can give you an idea for shooting a new film. Make a movie about the Apple company and let the main character Steve Jobs be black.

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.

I thought this might be good but gave up after twenty minutes. The script is poor and poorly delivered. It's not clear whether this is a directorial choice or whether the lead, Malachi Latchman, simply can't act. It's the most wooden performance I've ever seen in any role since a 1950s B-movie. The stilted delivery of the dialogue is just depressing.

Costumes and locations are good, which makes the rest of the production so much more disappointing.

Comparison to the 1974 Richard Lester production is perhaps unfair but when the bar was set so high fifty years ago, why settle for something so low as this?

Do yourself a favour, give this a miss and get 90 minutes of your life back.

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!

'All for One and One for All!

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.
