Alicia I love this movie so much

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

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.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

bkoganbing I'm not quite sure that there is any version of The Three Musketeers that quite gets it right, though the closest are the RKO film from 1935 and the MGM one from 1948. They starred Walter Abel and Gene Kelly respectively and each was deficient somewhat as D'Artagnan. Why Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, or Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. did not play D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers is a mystery to me.The Four Musketeers is the second of the film that Richard Lester originally shot. His The Three Musketeers ran so long that it was simply released as two films. The first one however is marginally superior to this one. The first half of the story lends itself to the slapstick comedy spirit that permeates the two films. The whole business of trying to recover the Queen's necklace to preserve her honor works for comedy. But the second half of Alexander Dumas novel gets down to some serious business with the deaths of several of the characters. The comedy here went over like a titanium balloon.Best in the film because he keeps his dignity in both halves is Charlton Heston as Cardinal Richelieu. In any version that man is not one to be spoofed.A really great cast was assembled and wasted by Richard Lester. All for one and none really for this.

jbirtel FINALLY...a DVD release called 'The Complete Musketeers' that does justice to a proper transfer, in widescreen and looking better than when I saw it in the theater.Watching 'The Three Musketeers' without seeing the 'The Four...' is like reading the Alexander Dumas novel; and stopping halfway through. It's a shame that it wasn't released as a roadshow 3 and a half hour film because that was the way it was originally meant to be experienced.Phenomenal DVD package that contains both films...just the way it should be. And some very informative documentaries with the surviving cast.9 out of 10! (Same as my rating for 'Three Musketeers')

André-7 One of the opening scenes depicts the musketeers having a pic-nic in the middle of a battlefield and under fire for the sheer bravado of the act. This is taken straight from the novel and is one of my favorite scenes from Dumas. It shows the frivolous attitude that men at this time had towards the likelyhood of their death. The only chance of advancement, fortune and glory most younger sons had was to hang it all out and prove their worthiness in battle.Please note that this is the only Musketeer film that ever showed Athos, Aramis, D'Artagnan and Porthos exercising their trade as soldiers. These are not superheroes. They are men serving their country, caught up in politically charged situations.
