Its failure to be extraordinary is thus all the more cutting, and its redundancy all the more unforgivable.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are critics saying?

Variety by Joe Leydon
A handsome but ho-hum swashbuckler that springs to life only during a few spirited scenes of acrobatic swordplay.

USA Today by Mike Clark
If this is Dumas, there's a "b" in the middle and an extra "s" at the end.

New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf
Moves in fits and starts, with some crafty and credible fight choreography by Xin Xin Xiong on either side of the pretty but boring middle hour.

Boston Globe by Jay Carr
The images are pretty, and Gene Quintano's screenplay gets everybody from point A to point B, though with no discernible knack for wit or subtlety.

Village Voice by Amy Taubin
East/West fusion aside, The Musketeer is a stale Euro-pudding.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
What a stupefying thing it is.

San Francisco Chronicle by Bob Graham
The movie lacks the one thing that the classic "Three Musketeers" story can't do without: panache.

Salon by Charles Taylor
There isn't a frame of The Musketeer that's believable even as a Hollywood re-creation of a fantasy world. It's conventionally picturesque, except in the nighttime and interior scenes, which are dark to the point of glaucoma.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Unspeakably awful.
