Les Trois mousquetaires

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.

To be fair I only managed 45 mins of this movie, it may well get better in the second half....... But I doubt it. This is one of the worst films I've ever seen, the acting is so wooden and hammy, I've seen more effort and skill from a school nativity play. It seems like no one could be bothered to put any effort in and everything was filmed on the first take

The script, costumes and direction are somehow worse than the acting. None of the characters are likeable which could maybe just about help this movie. The character development is nonexistent, not helped by the fact nothing happened in the 45 mins I actually managed

Simply terrible.

When i saw James Cosmo was in this, i felt i had to watch it, as he's generally in decent films.

After 10 minutes i wanted to turn off.

Absolutely no offence to the actor who portrays D'artagnan, but... since when was he Black? This is an actual historical character. D'artagnan was indeed head of the King's guard (Louis XIV), and was very much a White Frenchman.

Why is it acceptable to 'race swap' one way, but frowned up, and seen as one of the worst 'hate crimes' imaginable to even think about 'race swapping' the other way? It's ridiculous.

Then we have Milady as an Asian Woman... Oh well.

So moving on from these issues, we have another problem. The acting is beyond amateurish, the script obviously doesn't help, as that itself is brutal.

I wanted to like this, as i love the story, and i love any adaptation i've seen. This is truly awful.

As others have suggested. Don't watch this, walk away, find any other adaptation to watch. This is dire.

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.

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.
