Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Leon aka Pretender To put it simple, from my point of view this is the best A.Duma's / 3 Musketeers adaptation on screen ever, of course if you like musical.This movie seamlessly blends the action and adventure of historical movies, with great spirit of classic 'D'Artagnan's ' tale and great, great taste of music and songs which blend in.You get a movie with unexpectedly fresh and charming characters, lots of fun and humor and great songs.This is one of the best movies of the Russian 'Soviet' era.Of course a non-Russian speaking person (even with subtitles) would be hard to get a full at this movie, but the only with I have is that somebody actually do release this on DVD with English dubbing and subtitles.People who love music movies and movies like ORIGINAL CHARLIE AND CHOC FACTORY etc - most probably be able to enjoy it....Really a cult classic.

FromBookstoFilm SPOILERS I saw this movie back in the early 1980's and loved it and just I recently watched the DVD. This adaptation closely followed the book. Wonderful performances by all particularly the actors playing Athos,Porthos,Aramis,D'Artagnan,Cardinal Richelieu and Milady de Winter. This version and the two sequels that followed rivaled the Richard Lester Musketeer Trilogy of the !970's and 1980's. Whenever I watch a film I check to see if the film remains to the original novel and this passed the test with flying colors. This movie had wonderful music and I really felt for the Athos character. I think this portrayal of Athos was the closest portrayal yet to the character. A goodhearted nobleman betrayed,ruined and driven to drink by a deceiving woman he had married who he thought was a perfect beauty,perfect angel only to discover she was a branded criminal,thief,con-artist liar,seductress and mistress of a defrocked priest who later but not intentionally re-enters his life as spy courtesan assassin Milady de Winter.This portrayal of Athos rivals the portrayals of actors Oliver Reed and Van Heflin as Athos in the 1973 and 1948 films. D'Artagnan may have been too old for the role but what a great performance! This film version's Milady de Winter really showed the deceiving and deadly character of Milady. That Milady could hold her own against the Musketeers and she really was their worst enemy. She didn't tremble in fear of the Musketeers.She stood up to them.Defeated Aramis and Porthos and shot D'Artagnan during the chase scene.This Milady was very athletic jumping out of window and onto a horse. Something no other Milady in any other version had done!The performance rivaled Faye Dunaway's and Emmanuelle Beart's Milady in the most recent adaptation. At times the character shows a soft beauty who as the picture progresses becomes more and more of a hardened calloused character. I love this film and I recommend it and the two sequels that followed. My favorite scene is the chase scene towards the end of the film reminds me in many ways of the chase scene in the Richard Lester's Four Musketeers but I like this one much better! Anyone who wants to see other faithful full adaptations from the beginning of the story to the end please see 1948,1961,1974,1999 and the 2005 versions.

lenkam99 I love this movie. Ever since I was a kid in Russia, I enjoyed watching this movie. Now, I really want to own a copy but can't find it anywhere. Although I am not a fan of musicals, the songs from this movie really take me back to the fun times of childhood. I haven't met a person yet who hasn't enjoyed this movie. It is a classic, and other Musketeer movies don't match it.

scribbler-2 A properly light-hearted adaptation of A. Dumas' book, with a lot of singing, dancing, fencing and prancing around.What's bad about this movie, is that it's ultimately brainless and looks like it was made for 8-year-olds, or something, but this is why I still remember it in the first place - because I first saw it when I was about that age. (True, this is just the age when people normally read the book). Another disadvantage is that the characters don't look like Frenchmen at all - and don't even attempt to, except D'Artagnan and possibly Athos. These two arguably do have something "French" about them. What's good about this movie is that it offers no angle to the wind, and you can take it in like a glass of beer - you're through before you even know it.One more thing, the film was obviously made under a strong influence of "CJ Superstar", which shows especially in the fact that Aramis is the spit and image of Ted Neeley (with a goatee) - looks like him and sings like him, though I can't say if that's good or bad.Score it 3/10.
