Product: The Musketeer (2001)
Rating: 2.0
my brain hurts
This movie is pure garbage...After watching this for an hour and forty minutes I fell tired, and even dumber for the experience. The plot is interesting enough, but everything else falls on it's face hard. D'Artagnan (Justin Chambers) is the least interesting character in the movie. He mulls through his lines as if it hurts his mind to speak the flat dialogue they have for his character. Mena Suvari's flat dialogue at several points in the movie seem to coinside with the most mind-numbing parts the story has to offer. The sword fighting is good, but you never for a second believe Chambers is the one doing anything but waving a sword at nothing every ten seconds or so. The old man that teaches D'Artagnan to be a musketeer is interesting, as is the Queen, but Tim Roth, the coolest bad guy with a sword next to Darth Maul (Ray Park), seems as though he was trapped into the film and is nowhere near as intence as he was in Rob Roy. His charater seems to have no ambition in life other than to kill everyone and make a name for himself as the most evil man alive.All i can say is a lot of people will rent this dumb movie because the trailer showed the most thrilling 20 seconds of the movie. In reality, the 20 second they show you are dull upon their arrival in the movie...
