Critics Consensus

Its starry trio of do-gooders may promise to fight "one for all, all for one," but this Three Musketeers is a slickly unmemorable update bound to satisfy very few.

Peter Travers

Rolling Stone

All this nonsense would be news to Dumas, whose grave is surely spinning as his musketeers - sucked dry of high drama and low wit - go kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of Disney.

[A] sound adaptation of the famous tale, hewing closely to the story and its buddy aspect.

Those who have never seen a previous "Musketeers" adaptation or a truly exciting Hollywood adventure in the grand style may be swept along, but the mechanical, paint-by-numbers feel of this outing is too evident to ignore.

...an erratically-paced yet mostly entertaining adventure...

What "The Three Musketeers" lacks in poeticism, it makes up for in entertainment value, at least.

The reviews on this movie seem to review other renditions of this story. The 1993 classic, starring Charly Sheen, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt etc is a fantastic action-comedy. The characters are well rounded and the storyline is clear. The delivery is fantastic. The movie is family friendly and highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Diznee ruins another classic. Ninjas in 17th century France? The 4 leads are terrible. Mugging for the cameras as if this is some inside joke. Kids might like it but anybody who has read Dumas will hate what hokeywood did to this classic.

A nice approach, but a little bit naive, but is Disney so I think that we cannot expect much realism from them, although it's very entertaining, a great family movie.

This is a very fun little movie. It is a lighthearted adaptation of The Three Musketeers, intended principally for children/early teens. I loved it as a kid.
