WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
Lord, have mercy. This is one of the most stupid movies I have ever seen. The plot is weak. Even Tim Roth can't save this movie from being silly mostly because of the leading man and the action sequences.Firstly, Justin Chambers is a terrible lead. Maybe he's pretty, but he can't act! I have no idea how such a bad actor got the leading part. He is completely unconvincing and has no charisma whatsoever. I didn't even care about the character and I found myself rooting for Roth.Some people say that the action sequences are spectacular. Well, to me they are stupid and irrational. I mean, what the hell is this? Does nobody care about realism? D'Artagnan is fighting with a european sabre Kung Fu/Jackie Chan style! I have no idea how somebody could come up with such an idiotic idea. Don't get me wrong - I love Kung Fu flicks, but putting in Hong Kong action in a costume drama in 17th century France is ridiculous! You might as well cast Jackie Chan as King Arthur!To sum up, this movie is just plain bad. If want to watch a good Musketeer film, then watch Richard Lester's. The fights are choreographed by William Hobbs, a EUROPEAN FENCING choreographer.
