CodyZamboni Z Still the gold standard for this story. Fun, exciting, rousing. A perfect star studded cast. So entertaining. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Mike P Glossy and pleasing iteration of the Alexandre Dumas classic, about 4 amateur swordsmen of Paris who suddenly become the Elite Guard for King Louie the 13th...Brilliantly rendered swashbuckler, bodice ripper and cliffhanger. One of the best! 👍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review DW L The beginning of two parts that taken together make one of the best adventure movies of all time. This is a fun and funny movie with a great script, a light tone, and amazing sets. It sets up the Four Musketeers which is better only because of the intensity level. I love all the people in their parts but feel Oliver Reed is underused (something that part two makes up for). I loved it as a kid... it is the first movie I ever saw in a theater... and I love it now. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Larry L I made the mistake of watching this after watching the fantastic BBC TV show, 'The Musketeers' (Prime video). While Rachel Welch and Faye Dunaway were nice castings, the rest were not particularly good. Richard Chamberland as a swashbuckling swordman? Sorry! I thought the sword fights looked cartoonish. Again, if you want to see the best version of this ever made, watch the BBC version of 'The Musketeers'. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review isla s This is a funny, visual slapstick style comedy action adventure film, with very much a madcap element and some great people in the cast (including Spike Milligan). The choreography in terms of the fights, I thought was reaonsably impressive. I suppose in a way its a bit like a pre-cursor to the martial arts comedy films of Jackie Chan et al. Its a pretty engrossing watch and its fast paced enough to have kept me watching and entertained throughout. I particularly liked that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jordan m I had such low expectations for this movie that I began to watch it without my wife to save her from sitting through it. I was so surprised at the quality that I had to stop the movie 30 minutes in and start it again the next day to make sure she saw it as it is in my opinion the finest film adaptation of the Musketeer story that has been made. York could've used a few more of the characteristics that made Fairbanks a legend, but his overall look & line delivery made up for the lack of outright athleticism and then some. What really elevates this above other interpretations was the comedy - it caught me by surprise in each instance that they took the time to insert it while still following the source material very closely. My second favorite thing was the extensive set pieces - they made me feel as though the movie had an endless budget, building entire wooden structures just for background material or for very brief foreground interactions. The fight scenes were well-crafted but did start to drag a bit toward the end as the plot called for an increasing amount of them, reducing the available spots for comedy and causing them to blend together a bit. Of all the old movies I've seen this is surely in the top 3 or 4 of the ones I'm most proud to say that I watched! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
