Critics Consensus

It plays admirably fast and loose with Alexandre Dumas' classic tale, but in every other respect, The Three Musketeers offers nothing to recommend -- or to set it apart from the many other film adaptations.

All for one, one for all, but, mostly, one to skip.

Austin Chronicle

Have we retained nothing of the lessons of Hudson Hawk? Like that early Nineties comical disaster, The Three Musketeers hinges on the secret machinations of Leonardo da Vinci.

Even the most liberal viewer is likely to echo Milady's thoughts of D'Artagnan: "You are very amiable, no doubt, but you would be charming if you would only depart."

Film Frenzy

Staged like a video-game adaptation, complete with a fondness for those slo-mo Matrix-style action sequences that wore out their welcome around the time Kelly Clarkson was winning the first American Idol championship.

Rated: 1/4

Paul W. S. Anderson’s take on the Dumas classic is almost like the cinematic equivalent of CliffsNotes.

The cast do a commendable job but writer and director Paul W. S. Anderson (AVP: Alien vs. Predator, Mortal Kombat) turned the simple story of the three musketeers into an stylised and boring adventure film that tries to be like Pirates of the Caribbean crossed with superhero movies

The first The Three Musketeer movie came out in 1921 it was a French silent film. Ever since then the story adapted into movies time & time again. It's very stylish. Well written dialogue. It has enough action & drama even for the most finicky movie watcher. Sometimes the story does get a little confusing. It does have a stellar cast Orlando Bloom, Luke Evans, Matthew Macfadyen, Milla Jovovich, Milla as Milady De Winter kicks Royal butt. Milla could definitely be put into the action hero category. As usual the villains have the best lines. Out of all the movies made about The Three Musketeers It's not bad for a action, comedy, adventure movie. It's not one of the best. But it's not one of the worst either. This version is watchable.

An entertaining thrill-ride from start to finish! Wow! It was fun and funny! I was smiling or laughing throughout! It had action, adventure, comedy, intrigue, and even romance! Anyone that gave this a low rating is a small-minded, anal-retentive, social outcast! Only the few great-minded and the chosen lovers of pure entertainment could appreciate this masterpiece!

Not even close to the wit of the 70's version. Not even as good as Gene Kelly's. Flying warships hanging from balloons? Balloons had not even been invented in Europe yet. Bad acting, bad plot, bad script, bad hair. Everytime I even see the movie poster I want to vomit. Ruined a great series of novels for me.
