D'Artagnan et les Trois Mousquetaires

It IS the best screening of Dumas's novel so far. Russians have a certain decency and respect to classic masterpieces and this piece of work does not fail this rule. A strong emphasis on the friendship between the musketeers and a strong sense of honor that bears the marks of pure hearts , both enough to provide the power to fight and the power to love. It is a must see, especially since I don't believe the Hollywood or any other cinema school for that matter is able to come with a better mise-en-scene.

I was somehow forced to write down this review as the latest one that I saw here was an insult to the art behind this movie. I'm sick and tired of watching the yearly laboring pains of classic stories depictions. This story has no need to be put into the present days , no need for gang dialogues, no need for the Hollywood cliché.

It is one of the few most screened stories of the history and anyone mocking its epic should feel that mockery turning against him a thousand times stronger.

I love this movie. Ever since I was a kid in Russia, I enjoyed watching this movie. Now, I really want to own a copy but can't find it anywhere. Although I am not a fan of musicals, the songs from this movie really take me back to the fun times of childhood. I haven't met a person yet who hasn't enjoyed this movie. It is a classic, and other Musketeer movies don't match it.

The Russians know how to adapt Alexandre Dumas' books very well, they know even better than Hollwyood. Your writers are better. Unlike The Three Musketeers (1993 and 2011), The Musketeer (2001), this is a film that has a good script and that adapts the story very well. Like Uznik zamka if (1988) it is a much better adaptation of the count of monte Cristo, different from the 1922, 1934 and 2002 versions made by hollywood with mediocre scripts.

I was born when this movie came out, so I saw it much later. Some times even now in my twenties I take out that film and watch it. The movie is very simple; it is about good and evil, adventure and misfortune. The whole romanticism with being a hero, a true hero. It is an absolute escape from the reality, but that is what it supposed to be.

Even now when we go camping with my friends we always sing the memorable songs from this movie.

The silliest and most ironic part about the movie is the duet between de'Treville and d'Artagnan, where de'Treville sings, "How old are you my child?" and d'Artagnan (Boyarski with huge mustache and is about 30-35) answers back, "I am 18 years old!" That is the greatest silliness.

To put it simple, from my point of view this is the best A.Duma's / 3 Musketeers adaptation on screen ever, of course if you like musical.

This movie seamlessly blends the action and adventure of historical movies, with great spirit of classic 'D'Artagnan's ' tale and great, great taste of music and songs which blend in.

You get a movie with unexpectedly fresh and charming characters, lots of fun and humor and great songs.

This is one of the best movies of the Russian 'Soviet' era.

Of course a non-Russian speaking person (even with subtitles) would be hard to get a full at this movie, but the only with I have is that somebody actually do release this on DVD with English dubbing and subtitles.

People who love music movies and movies like ORIGINAL CHARLIE AND CHOC FACTORY etc - most probably be able to enjoy it....

Really a cult classic.
