Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

batt_girl The show has it all - sword fights, drama, intrigue! A must see!

corinzotica The show is well made, the sets are beautiful but I see that political correctness has had its hand in the production of the show. It goes far from the books plot and the show makes an obvious attempt at placing race mixing on a pedestal even though that is not goal it should aim for. It does not respect the timeline that the show was put in. Having slaves was not appalling in those day and ages as the musketeers themselves had 'indentured servants'. The action is good but because of the aspects described above it only merits a 5/10. If not for political correctness it would have been a 9/10

fiona_r_lamb I've just finished watching the second series on Canadian television and unlike other shows (The Fall, Broadchurch) this series was better than the first. Not to say I did not enjoy the first as I did, but the second felt more complex and the characters were given more depth and nuance. Plus, it felt like they had more budget so the sets and costumes improved.However, I the villain, Rochefort (Marc Warren), was not believable - to me he came across as a pantomime villain; all I kept thinking about was the cheeky Cockney chappie he played in Hustle. However, his character did make for a most interesting plot that ran through all 10 episodes.I do enjoy the female roles too. Milady is a villainess but she does have her good points and is a bit of a swashbuckler herself. My favourite character is Constance and happy that she and D'Artagnan were finally married.My daughter did wonder why the Spanish characters (except for the Queen)all have an accent yet the French all sound like they're from London. Hmmm.Finally, have to say how much I enjoy Santiago Cabrera (Aramis) - seriously delicious!

deana_lisi This show is, hands down, the best show I've ever seen. The actors are phenomenal, as are the costumes and filming location of Prague.Santiago Cabrera plays Aramis, and he is the hottest man on TV! He has personality, wit, charm, sympathy, and bravery; it's impossible not to fall in love with him. Luke Pasqualino plays D'Artagnan, and he had big shoes to fill considering the fame of his character. He pulls it off perfectly with a combination of eagerness and capability that are very mature considering that he's only supposed to be in his early twenties, (and he's adorable, too!) Howard Charles plays Porthos, and he fits the role exactly as he should: huge, strong, powerful, loyal, and witty. If you ever need a bodyguard, you can be sure that Porthos is the right choice. Tom Burke plays Athos, and is the most brooding and quiet of them all. He has a sad past with Milady, and cannot let it go and move on...especially when she pops up working for the Cardinal after he thought her dead for five years. Ryan Gage is King Louis XIII, and he's perfect as a young, unsure ruler. Peter Capaldi is an excellent Richelieu; evil plots galore, but not evil in everything...in one episode in particular, he and the musketeers fight for the same cause. It's a shame that he got the Doctor Who role after season 1 and left to do that instead. Tamla Kari as Constance couldn't be any better; the chemistry between her and D'Artagnan is like electricity. When they kiss—REALLY kiss—for the first time, it's the most passionate kiss I've ever seen in my life. Maimie McCoy plays Milady very well…ruthless and seductive, not caring what she needs to do for money, fame, and power. Alexandra Dowling as the queen is sweet and compassionate. Hugo Speer as Captain Treville is the perfect military leader, and Marc Warren as Rochefort in season two…I don't know where to begin. His character is SO EVIL, and the way Marc played him…the deliberate way he walks and talks, and just…everything, you want to kill him but want him to live at the same time because he is just so FASCINATING! So, yes. Watch this show…you will NOT be sorry!
