Movie Reviews of The Three Musketeers
Movie Review: The original great swashbuckling adventure!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is where it all started: right after his first successful action adventure, "The Mark of Zorro", Douglas Fairbanks decided that the classic Dumas novel about musketeers and intrigues at the French royal court would make another exciting swashbuckling adventure, and he was right! With all the countless remakes of "The Three Musketeers" over the decades, it's well worth going right back to the first version that started it all. In the silent era, emphasis was often put on the visual aspects such as sets, action and acting, and Fairbanks had a most expressive style of pantomime - the ancient art of acting using gestures and body language, similar to mime. Fairbanks was also an exceptional athlete who did his own stunts and action sequences, even learning to fence for his roles as Zorro and then D'Artagnan, which led to further successful action costume adventures, including the sequel to "The Three Musketeers" namely "The Iron Mask". It was these 1920s classic adventure films by Fairbanks that set the stage for Hollywood action heroes and adventure movies right up to our day. With his exuberant and dynamic style, as well as attention to historic details, these groundbreaking films were among the most successful of the decade. Put all these elements together and you have a thrilling action-packed adventure with quite a complex plot that builds in suspense to an exciting climax. There are electrifying sword fights and impressive athletics by Fairbanks, interesting characters like the power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu who devises various schemes to undermine the Queen. This becomes a quest for D'Artagnan and the three musketeers who gladly risk their lives for the Glory of France and the Queen's honour. "The Three Musketeers" is a perfect balance of romance, humour, action, excitement and fun. For anyone who enjoys classic movies and stories, you can't pass "The Three Musketeers", and needless to say, it belongs in any good silent film collection as well.
