D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) leaves his home in rural France to fulfill his ambition of becoming one of the king's elite guardsmen, the Musketeers. In Paris, he meets Athos (Matthew MacFadyen), Porthos (Ray Stevenson) and Aramis (Luke Evans) -- three of the king's finest swordsmen, who have been laid low by Milady De Winter's (Milla Jovovich) betrayal. D'Artagnan rallies his new friends to foil Cardinal Richelieu's (Christoph Waltz) plot to overthrow the monarchy and crown himself king of France.
The Three Musketeers

What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review

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." Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Jonas V @Spukky Aug 29, 2026 This was a fun action packed very enjoyable movie. See more Gabmoreno2 @Gabmoreno2 Jan 24, 2026 Extremely underrated while its not the most serious take of the 3 Musketeers characters, what it does do well is implement new elements and progresses the story forward into the realm, of sci-fi/fantasy. Yes the characters can be improved in the drama aspect but as for entertainment value you get a hilarious yet engaging performance of Orlando Bloom and shows more of the corruption of the Church that would later affect Frances economy during the French Revolution. The costume design is also really impressive capturing the stylish outfits of the area. See more Nathan D @Nathdog Dec 4, 2025 Don’t understand why the ratings is so low,I’ve seen some bad movies and this definitely isn’t one of them, it has very good action sequences a great cast if you can past the odd cheesy line it is well worth a watch it’s just a pirates of the Caribbean flick and a good one we don’t get enough of these type movies, even has will turner in it shame sequel didn’t happen See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Jul 26, 2025 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 See more Melissa M @Lisey Apr 1, 2025 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. See more Curt P @RT42182180 Dec 30, 2024 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! See more Read all reviews
