Summary: 4 Stars
If you go into the movie expecting a telling of Dumas book based strictly or very strictly on it, you will be disappointed. If, however, you go into it with an open mind, you will probably be surprised. I love the original book but I thought the movie did an excellent job as a standalone plot. It had twists and turns, like the book, the settings were very realistic and the fight scenes were amazing. One gripe about the fighting, often it was very close up so it was hard to see exactly what was going on but that wasnt' always the case. In some cases, the sword play was so fast, it was flat out hard to follow. I found the movie enjoyable, I would pay money in a theater to see it again (the ultimate test of how good a movie is).Movie Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on "The Three Musketeers" by Alexander Dumas "The Musketeer was a pretty good epic. Justin Chambers stars as D'Artagnan the young musketeer whose courage makes him enemies and friends. The story starts out as D'Artagnan's parents are murdered in cold blood by the cardinal's ruthless musketeer Febre. The story basically is about D'Artagnan's quest to save France from war with England or Spain, stop the cardinal's evil plan to take over the royal family, and avenge his parent's death.
With a set of characters such as the queen played by Catherine Deneuve and Mena Suvari as Franchesca the girl who captured D'Artagnan's heart at first sight this is worth a see.
Movie Review: I'm man enough to stick up for this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Since there is alot of people putting tis movie down I'm man enough to say it was a good movie. Mabey not as good as The 3 Musketeers but I'll say it's a close second. Yeah mabey the acting was not the greatest from some people but it's still better than some done by the garbage hollywood pumps out now.This was a fun film to watch and I for one was entertained though the whole thing. It's not a docudrama as some reviewers seem to think but just a fun movie.Movie Review: JACKIE CHAN MEETS ALEXANDER DUMAS!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pure swashbuckling fun on a scale hard to imagine from Hollywood. Of course, the action is pure Hong Kong, so don't go expecting any classical fencing styles here( or even any THEATRICAL fencing styles!), just go to have fun with an extensive re-telling of Dumas' classic tale of the young warrior defending queen and country from whatever foe comes along. THe kind of movie I go to when I just want to have pure old FUN.
