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.

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.

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!

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.

D'Artagnan's character development was so compelling that it made the entire film hard to stomach. Watching a character who should've met an early demise, survive was painful. Knowing so many amazing films and TV shows have been carefully and lovingly created only to never make it to air, yet this did, hurt me to my very soul. It's a brain-cell drainer; better options exist.

This might be the strongest case for stronger copyright protection. Alexander Dumas created a masterpiece and it was reduced to this.

I really don't like to mock work but it just felt so pedestrian. Granted Locations, Lighting, Camera, Art, Costume, HMU, and the behind the stage did a good job making what they could from what they had.
