Les Trois mousquetaires

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?

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.

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.

So so bad. Not even bearable playing in the background. Jarring dialogue delivered very badly. Such obviously cheap production values (looks like they filmed in the local park) Genuinely seen better local amateur dramatics. This is either someone's tax write off or they really hate the producers of the concurrent (but infinitely better) French language Musketeers film and are trying to get in its way. Please do not even bother to 'give it a go' - I watched the trailer and thought 'it can't be that bad'. It absolutely was - in fact, it was worse. The younger members of the cast really shouldn't have been exposed so badly on a national streamer - this crash and burn should have been on a local stage somewhere rather than preserved for posterity.

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.
