Simply A Masterpiece
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
It's not your traditional Three Musketeer's story, but I think it was a creative take on it. I can see why some people wouldn't like the changes, but I feel like they help to keep the story entertaining.Some of the pacing in the film is weird and the actions of some characters could seem a little humorous, but overall it's a fun movie that should be entertaining to those who just want something to take them out of the real world.
Never ever listen to a critic. Loved the movie. Pretty decent screenplay, classic direction and excellent cast. Christopher Waltz adds good humor and evilness as Richelieu, Madds Mikkelsen is nice as the best swordsman in France, Count Rochefort; Gabriella was okay as Constance,Logan Lerman is great as the lead D'Artagnan. Athos,Porthos and Aramis were in good form with some funny side. But the real stand out was Milla Jovovich as Milady. Milady is sweet,cunning and evil. Its her outstanding portrayal of Milady that makes the film a drama classic and one of the best in its time. I advise everyone not to skip this outstanding jewel-in-the-case.
In some ways this film can be seen as being enjoyable in a tongue-in-cheek, goofy, 'not to be taken seriously' type way, but it's the wait that's involved in getting there that is likely to be a make or break aspect for the audience....I must admit that I'm not overly-familiar with the source material here so wasn't really sure what to expect; however I was slightly disappointed with the actual structure of this film. Here, we have a first half which seemed to have very little going on and seemed to exist only as a long-winded way of introducing D'Artagnan. There are some amusing moments to be found in this set-up, but for me it felt that there was far too much unnecessary padding to what is essentially a fairly simple story.Given that it was slow in building itself up I hoped that my patience would be rewarded by some fantastic swashbuckling action and impressive fight sequences and once again I left feeling slightly disappointed. True, there are some fight sequences and some swashbuckling, but not enough - maybe my expectations were too high, but I just found that the film was rather weak as both an action film and as a story. I also thought that the ending was rather poor as well.Thankfully the film does benefit from strong camaraderie between the principal cast and this does help to carry the film through some of the duller moments and makes it feel slightly better than it should be - as D'Artagnan Lerman brings a sort of cheeky charm to the film and also brings some much needed fun. The likes of MacFadyen, Stevenson and Evans also work their roles well too and all 4 of these players are what really hold this film together.My thoughts on this version of The Three Musketeers is that it was entertaining in spots with the principal cast making it quite fun to watch at times. However, I thought it was a little on the slow side and also thought it would be more action-packed. For those reasons I found it a little disappointing overall.
Silly movie this one but not boring. It cost $75M and it shows. There are huge problems though.First of all we deal with a classic here, so it has a legacy that must be respected. In this version, every character is presented as a buffoon. The acting, the deliverance...Leonardo da Vinci, we learn, has drawn up plans for a flying "war machine," a combination of dirigible and seafaring galleon. The plot and the dialogs are full of hot air like the war machine. The director is obviously thought that these were minor issues!The action is dominated by green-screen and Matrix-like effects.Overall: Not boring if you are 9 y.o. but a disgrace nevertheless...
