Product: The Musketeer (2001)
Rating: 3.0
Okay but not great
I didn't think this movie was as bad as the other reviewers here, and overall, I thought the swordplay and fight scenes were actually not too bad, speaking as someone who has trained in both eastern and western swordsmanship and knows at least something about it.The fight scenes were a little rushed, though, and I probably would have paced them a little better, myself, but I really didn't mind that too much.I liked the fight scene with the ladders at end--granted, not a realistic portrayal of how they would fight in those times--and reminiscent of a similar scene in the "Xena, Warrior Princess" series--but still, done fairly well, I thought, despite the fact that you're not sure how the Tim Roth character dies as the end, when he slides down the ladder head first toward Chambers.After this I'm going to rent the recent remake of the Three Musketeers movie, and see how it compares with this movie. Maybe it will be better.
