D'Artagnan and Three Musketeers Audience Reviews

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
fubared1 Possibly the worst 'mini-series' of all time. In fact, I was only able to make it through the first 20 minutes before having to shut it off entirely. Absolutely everything about this is bad, from total lack of direction using cheap hand-held camera work to the most dreadful music ever written. All the 'actors' are dubbed, there is no live sound recorded, and the voices that are there are all terrible actors. The muzak makes elevator trash sound like Mozart by comparison. And it's accompanied by some sort of really cheaply made synthesizer. The costumes were apparently designed for some community theatre production by amateurs. The sets are cheaply made from cardboard cutouts. And worst of all it's exceedingly DULL, even for the short time I watched it. How this ever got the rating it did is totally beyond my compression, unless they were all from Russian voters. If you want to check out for yourself how bad it is, it's available on you tube.
Andrei Pavlov Quite fortunately I've found the official DVD with this trilogy in one of our stores for a very funny price. It is one of my most successful buys to be sure.The film itself is brilliant. It connects the power of music, singing, costume design, and powerful performance of all the actors. As far as I remember the original book, our production follows the novel in a very strict and attentive manner (e.g. the scene of the execution is here - compare to the lame American Walt-Disney version where the woman - you should know who - is jumping off the cliff instead of being beheaded).The songs are so memorable that I cannot just wash them from my memory - and I don't want to.The range of the emotions in this movie is simply vast: from silly clownish slapstick to tragic anxiety and woe. The songs and music never interfere but help the action to go smoothly and delicately. The whole story may seem a bit childish (the main characters survive in any situation and kick villains' asses quite often) but it never gets pathetic. And this is a sign of quality.The film is free from blood (though I like the punched and scratched look of D'Artagnan's face in the beginning of the film - right after his foolish and cocky running-about) and there is no other mature material. At the same time the content is very serious and not to see that solemn layer below the music and lyrics is a rude mistake.Mr Mikhail Boyarsky is the best D'Artagnan (I don't give a damn about the "notorious" age inconsistency). Just have a look at the drastic change of his character after the second episode. Mr Venyamin Smekhov is the best Athos and so on and so forth. Everybody is in the right place playing the right role and doing it rightly. And, just to add, I like the depiction of Cardinal Richelieu - he's simply amazing. While this position (Cardinal) was never intended in Christianity, it deserves such witty mockery. Bravo to Mr Aleksandr Trofimov! I wish such masters as Mr Charlie Chaplin, Mr Buster Keaton, and Mr Norman Wisdom could have seen this movie. I am quite certain that they would have loved it. One of our unbeatable classics. Right now I'm humming the melodies of this adventure gem...10 out of 10 - the best musketeers ever. Thank you for attention.
elnina8 This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I suppose that's the very best way to put it.The Three Musketeers is about a young man who sets out to earn his living as a musketeer. At the very beginning his letter of recommendation is stolen by a cardinal's "employee" and D'Argtagnan can't become a musketeer immediately. He meets three friends and has many adventures.This movie is amazing. There's lots of laughter and excitement. The actors are phenomenal. I love this movie and I've seen it more than 30 times. If you're going to watch something, watch this.
imikhaylov I was born when this movie came out, so I saw it much later. Some times even now in my twenties I take out that film and watch it. The movie is very simple; it is about good and evil, adventure and misfortune. The whole romanticism with being a hero, a true hero. It is an absolute escape from the reality, but that is what it supposed to be.Even now when we go camping with my friends we always sing the memorable songs from this movie.The silliest and most ironic part about the movie is the duet between de'Treville and d'Artagnan, where de'Treville sings, "How old are you my child?" and d'Artagnan (Boyarski with huge mustache and is about 30-35) answers back, "I am 18 years old!" That is the greatest silliness.
