- 91Original-CinOriginal-CinIt’s a respectful film that pays due homage to the original tale.
- 80The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinThe staging and tone are determinedly old-fashioned, and the atmosphere of romance and danger only amplified by the glorious French settings: lots of muddy byways, echoing courtyards and fine, candlelit interiors, and not a green screen in sight.
- 80Time OutHelen O'HaraTime OutHelen O'HaraThanks to some judicious plot tweaks and a full-bodied commitment to action, director Martin Bourboulon (Eiffel) has succeeded in making the best Alexandre Dumas adaptation in decades.
- 80EmpireLillian CrawfordEmpireLillian CrawfordDumas’s classic novel finally gets an epic adaptation worthy of its scope, rendered in delicious French by its dangerously sexy cast. Gird your buckles because they’re about to get swashed.
- 80The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawThis is a lavishly produced, very enjoyable innocent pleasure.
- 80The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThe Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThe picture’s seductive power lies elsewhere, with a glorious, typically extravagant performance from Eva Green as the treacherous Milady. She’s great fun in a role that might have been tailor-made for her skill set: Milady is vampy, venomous and dripping with goth jewellery.
- 80Screen DailyLisa NesselsonScreen DailyLisa NesselsonA rollicking historical romp with nary a dull moment, The Three Musketeers - D’Artagnan (Les Trois Mousquetaires — D’Artagnan) offers all the sprightly action, jaunty repartee and sumptuous settings a contemporary movie-goer could possibly want.
- 80Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleWhat this installment energetically proves is that you can ruffle the feathers of a totemic tale and still capture what’s good, galloping fun in Dumas’ storytelling: nefarious plots to be untangled, villains to be exposed and principled heroes to shoulder the risk of certain death while they tease each other mercilessly with heaps of panache.
- 70VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeDumas was a master of the serial form, and this version of “The Three Musketeers” manages to preserve that thrill-to-thrill sensation. The experience leaves you wanting more, though it’s probably better suited to binge-watching in its entirety.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThis version of the story has a few funny moments, but plays things straight and still manages to be a rewarding and enjoyable remake of this story of “Tous pour un” and “one for all.” Maybe they’ll find more of the “fun” in the second half/”sequel” — “The Three Musketeers — Part 2: Milady.”
