Product: The Musketeer (2001)
Rating: 1.0
they should file this movie under "comedy"
this is the story of the musketeers as you've never seen it before- with everything from bad acting to pathetic special effects to poor lighting. this, being probably the worst adaptation of the story i have ever seen, can be seen more as a comedy than an actual action-packed film. the girl in the film (does it really matter what her name was) survived a major blow to the chest with a gun and lived to be fine and healthy as ever(must be the bullet-proof corsets). and, of course, there are the fight scenes. somewhere between the poor choreography and the fact that the musketeer "gravitated" to his enemies like something out of the matrix, i began to realize that this movie wasn't going to be oscar material. if you one of those people who think they absolutely must see this movie, i should warn you, you'll never look at the story of the musketeers the same way again. this low-budget attempt to give a new twist to the old tale does not do that original story justice.
