As caffeinated as 21st-century filmmaking gets.

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

| Dec 20, 2024

Always beautiful to look at but always an empty shell, "The Three Musketeers" is a busy, noisy gobbledygook of random casting, disjointed storytelling, goofy action and dopey dialogue.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 8, 2023

Anderson’s customary slapdash approach spoils everything onscreen, and his notable roster of performers, not to mention his audience, suffer for it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 7, 2023

The only thing that really saves the day is Christoph Waltz.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

An enjoyable romp reminiscent of some of Hollywood's Golden Age excursions.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 1, 2018

Its one for all and all for WTF when Paul W. S. Anderson goes medieval on French literature. Just go with it.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 4, 2018

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

The Three Musketeers, saddled with a distressingly slight narrative, progresses into a momentum-free midsection generally devoid of compelling interludes or interesting character-based moments.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 25, 2018

The film may have its fun moments but this adaptation does nothing more than make these Three Musketeers look like a bunch of Stooges.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 22, 2012

While you're busy looking at the special effects, you'll begin to notice that there's not really anything in the way of substance like a well-thought-out plot and characters that you care about.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2012

It's fun for a Saturday afternoon viewing, but it will ultimately go down in the annals of movie history as yet another forgettable adaptation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2012

Never has failure looked this good!

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2012

If you want over-the-top entertainment that doesn't respect the laws of physics, you can't do much better than this.

You might mistake the sound of swashbuckling for what it really is: Alexandre Dumas spinning in his grave. Much closer to 'Pirates of the Caribbean' lite than it is to 'The Three Musketeers,' this makes a mess of the classic Dumas tale.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 22, 2011

Ugh. Nothing makes sense, it's not funny and the 3D is worthless.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Nov 14, 2011

Anderson has crafted a beautiful and rambunctious film that is in many ways a lot more fun than the last few Disney "Pirates of the Caribbean" films.

| Original Score: B | Nov 8, 2011

The actors should have remained dry-docked instead of shipping out on this big, bloated Three Muske-mess.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2011

A frequent choice for transposing fiction into film, The Three Musketeers returns as an action-filled, slight diversion.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 2, 2011

So dumb and goofy and ridiculous that it's actually kind of hard not to like on those terms.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2011
