Twiggy H Epic movie on all portions - never a dull moment, especially with an naked impotent man being overly dramatic in a barn with a limp bit of rope.. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Mesmo com status de fracasso atestado pela crítica e pelo público, esse filme chama a atenção pela originalidade da interpretação de Leonardo DiCaprio no papel de gêmeos idênticos. Ao menos vale a pena acompanhar a história para torcer pelo irmão bonzinho. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Valerie B Absolutely fantastic movie!!

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review vivian p A fantastic movie with a great musical score. The acting is fabulous, and this is one of Leonardo Di Caprio’s finest performances. The sets are divine. Highly recommended! Have rewatched this movie many times! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Blu B I wanted to find a reason to give it a 3.5 but I just couldn't. Pacing wise it's messy out the gate and very jumbled, than settles and gets kind of boring but makes sense and picks up in the last 20 minutes or so for a decent ending. It's decent overall in the dept. This defintely could've had 20, maybe 25 minutes knocked off and really not lost much. Music for most of the runtime is very boring and feels like it's the same generic violin score for 85% of the runtime. It does get better in the end though and is more memorable. Everything else though is just ok. Leo plays a very ambitious role here but despite coming off a career performance a year ago, it feels like the role is too big for his britches. He doesn't come across as intimdating but more whiny as the young king. It's still passable overall but a letdown as it doesn't come close too something like Christopher Reeve/Jeff Daniels playing dual roles. J.M. is solid and the best thing in this, whenever he speaks he stands out. Everyone else including the other musketeers jus all blend in which is crazy given the talent. The love interests aren't that memorable either. This has massive production value which is all top notch but the camera work and direction in general is just nothing special. The comedic relief scenes are so stupid and out of place for the material as well. Fart jokes and all. The editing is sooo jumpy for most of the runtime as well. The love interests, comedic relief, on top of it feeling very unfocused all contribute to it being very hard to develop any kind of connection with anyone. This needed to focus on just the core trading places plot and maybe give a bit more background at first on the three musketeers which this doesn't. It automatically assumes you already know the legend and mythos before watching which threw me off. Once it does settle on the core trading places plot though it builds some momentum and the ending is the best part. This just needed better direction, slimmed down on the side plots, and maybe a older more mature actor than Leo. Anyone who is a die hard Leo fan or Three Musketeers fan may want to check this out but most people should skip this. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
