Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Leofwine_draca I admit I'd never seen this version of the Dumas novel before so I had no idea what to expect. Not this though: THE THREE MUSKETEERS is a riotous knockabout comedy that favours the slapstick over the serious and goes for a light, anything-goes tone throughout. If you're looking for something even slightly serious then you'd be best advised to look elsewhere...Michael York is our erstwhile young hero, D'Artagnan, who hooks up with the titular trio in order to battle the nefarious plans of various evil doers, including Christopher Lee's one-eyed baddie, Rochefort. This is an ensemble production, but there's so much talent involved that some don't get a look in. Only Oliver Reed stands out as the boozing fighter, and you barely notice Richard Chamberlain or Frank Finlay.Instead we get long comic routines involving Spike Milligan and Raquel Welch's annoyingly ditzy love interest. The incredible cast includes Joss Ackland, Charlton Heston, Simon Ward, Roy Kinnear, and Geraldine Chaplin in minor roles, a lot of them played for laughs. There's a welter of comedic action to enjoy here, but not much in the way of story; the film was successful enough for a sequel, THE FOUR MUSKETEERS, to follow.

utgard14 Enjoyable adaptation of the oft-filmed Alexandre Dumas novel. One of the better versions I've seen. I should say upfront that I've never been a huge fan of the story. I read it as a kid before ever seeing any of the movies. It's undeniably a classic but it was never a favorite of mine. This movie is pretty faithful to the book, although there's much more emphasis on comedy. The cast is terrific. Richard Chamberlain, Oliver Reed, and Frank Finlay are great as the title characters. Michael York does a fine job as d'Artagnan. If I had one complaint, it's that d'Artagnan seems a dim-witted rube in his earliest scenes but after becoming friends with the Musketeers, he's suddenly much smarter and more competent. There doesn't seem to be any reason for this beyond "we thought the shtick in the early scenes was funny." Raquel Welch is stunning and quite good in a humorous part. Faye Dunaway is also enjoyable. Christopher Lee and Charlton Heston are fun. Period costumes and sets are nice. Filmed at the same time as its sequel, The Four Musketeers. It's not the kind of movie I rewatch often, but it is entertaining.

vincentlynch-moonoi I was glad to see this film again...after 41 years...because I remembered it being great fun. And it is, but......sometimes the great slapstick gets in the way of why things are happening in the plot......sometimes in the midst of swashbuckling, it's so obvious that one character is waiting for the other to make a certain movement before he makes his movement. A little sloppy.But, as I said, it's great fun...and still my favorite movie adaption of Dumas' story.Michael York heads the cast as d'Artagnan. I remember thinking back then how handsome he was, but now when I look at him he appeared to be bordering on anorexia. Nevertheless, he does a very nice job here as a slightly klutzy musketeer. Oliver Reed was a fine actor, but here as Athos I am afraid he did not put in his finest performance. Frank Finlay was decent as Porthos; most Americans probably won't recognize him, but he also played Jacob Marley in the George C. Scott version of "A Christmas Carol". Richard Chamberlain seems bright and lively as Aramis, although his screen-time seems less than it should be. Geraldine Chaplin is along as the Queen. Charlton Heston as Cardinal Richelieu (nice job). Faye Dunaway is mildly interesting as Milady de Winter, but again, this is hardly her best performance. Christopher Lee is decent as the Count De Rochefort. Simon Ward has one of the better roles as the Duke of Buckingham. Raquel Welch is shallow (perhaps ankle deep) as a lady in waiting...but she looks good.Perhaps the biggest star here are the sets and costumes, which are, for the most part, rather lavish. Overall, it's a rather entertaining film, but I have a difficult time excusing them for making Dumas' characters into semi-buffoons.
