The Three Musketeers

Fast and fun remake Tim curry’s performance as the cardinal is so good (BAD) that it’s worth buying this film for that reason alone it’s a good price for a good movie think young guns with swords ⚔️ and it has a great sound track all in all a great night in family movie 🍿

Despite adverse criticism by some viewers,this is a wonderful version of Dumas`s story; the plot is given free rein, and why not? The stories and characters are meant to be flexible. All the film-makers had to do was adapt their own style to the basic idea. The spectator will no doubt find this DVD enjoyable, simply because he/she is not allowed to "think"; the battle scenes are well-staged and the excitement never flags. Some perfomances are worthy of note: Tim Curry`s portrayal of Cardinal Richelieu is outstanding, and Rebecca De Mornay as Milady de Winter: wonderful! Such beauty! Such sensuality! Such evil! In particular,the eroticism she displays in her meeting and seduction of the boy D`Artagnan (Chris O`Donnell) is breathtaking; and her subsequent move to stab him is undoubtedly a substitute for the sexual act. There are pleasing glimpses of Milady`s bosom, but this is not allowed to become pornographic, and the viewer will probably deeply regret her early demise. One false note: the boy-king is somewhat miscast. It was a great surprise to find that this is a double-sided DVD, but do not let that discourage you, for you will not find this a great problem. If you should find the American accents "jar" somewhat, there are language options, and you can do as I did: listen to the dialogue in French or Italian! Thoroughly enjoyable. John Harman

When i saw this movie I said I'd buy it since I haven't seen it since I was young. Now you might say "it a bloody dvd" but I don't really care about those things as long as I can watch the movie. Thanks for a fast delivery

As a massive fan of ALL Musketeer films, I would recommend this to anyone who is also a fan (or not!). Full of humour, action, suspense, a period film you can use your imagination in, watch with your family on a Sunday afternoon, while enjoying their company and the drama in the film! A Good Modern version of the famous tales of The Three Musketeers!

I absolutely love this movie. I was honestly surprised when it came to a stop half way through, then I realised I needed to turn it over. Absolutely brilliant. I could go on about the movie and tell you about the people in the movie, but the late great Tim Curry plays his role with his own style of acting. It is honestly worth owning and watching over and over again.

Good film and enjoyed it

This is an entertaining take on the famous musketeers - it doesn't keep to the Dumas storyline but it has some entertaining ideas. I was rather disappointed with some of the casting. I really didn't like Tim Curry as Richelieu - the original Richelieu was not quote the nasty slimy creep that we see in this movie and I just wanted him to "go away". Of course we aren't supposed to like Richelieu as Dumas depicted him as something of a baddie, but on the other hand, most people know from the real history that Richelieu was first minister of France and a very good one too whilst Louis XIII was not a very competent king and needed a very good first minister. It is thought that the real Richelieu may well have made passes at the Queen, and this was one reason she did not like him. I felt Porthos and Athos were cast quite well, but the d''Artagnan actor seemed far too young. For sure the original in the book is 18, but this one looked about 12! I think a more adult haircut would have helped a lot. King Louis is also acted by a very young man or so he looks - a teenager? He also looks far too childish for the part. The actor for Aramis doesn't look the part at all - the character is supposed to be very elegant, always beautifully dressed, whilst this actor is far too brawny and ordinary-looking so it jarred on me. But if can ignore his looks (which are not in the least unpleasant, just for me "wrong for the character") he acts the part very well. In view of the look of this d'Artagnan and this king, and a few other aspects, I wondered if this movie was made mainly for teens - but nonetheless, I am sure the young at heart of all ages will enjoy it. An entertaining, lighthearted family movie.

I'd seen a few reviews on Youtube of the film, and I had seen it a few years ago on TV, so I thought I would give it a go again. Its a fun romp with a good looking cast, mainly focusing on the action, romance and swordplay rather than the tragedy and dramatic aspects of the original novel - no need to spoil a good time! You don't need to read the book to 'get' this version, so just watch and enjoy, and sing 'All for Love' at the end!

la película es muy buena y nos llegó el día que dijeron, mil gracias, excelente servicio.

I am actually replacing the first dvd I'd brought of this movie. A great swash buckler. Love it! A lot of charm and nail biting action from all the characters played. A good watch. cheers

Der Film hat eine sehr gute Handlung, nicht langweilig und mit ein Schuss Humor.

Disque rayé, impossible de reprendre la lecture à la 53eme mn.

Bellissimo film su un’epoca storica straordinaria. Non poteva mancare nella mia personale collezione
