Watch The Musketeer For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The Musketeer (2001): Dir: Peter Hyams / Cast: Justin Chambers, Tim Roth, Mena Suvari, Catherine Deneuve, Stephen Rea: Embarrassing joke that is more content with the sound of clashing swords as they are pulled from their hilts. Title indicates oneness with Justin Chambers witnessing the death of his parents by a ruthless leader who still bares the scar the boy left. This pathetic charade has been used in eighty million other dumb Musketeer movies. It attempts to copy the wonderfully choreographed action of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but instead it presents the most embarrassing fight sequence to end any movie. This comes off a long list of Peter Hyams directed crap including End of Days and Sudden Death. Acting is horrible with Chambers as the hero and Tim Roth in one of his worst performance as the villain. Mena Suvari's role consists has her being caught naked in a bathtub. "Haven't you ever seen a naked woman before?" she asks as Chambers turns away respectively. Such idiotic hints of innuendo are juvenile in this poorly produced junk. Finally there is Catherine Deneuve who leaves us wondering what an actress of her class and stature doing in a piece of sh*t like this. There have been commercials for dog food that have been better produced than this. This garbage should be buried some place where it will never surface again. Score: 1 / 10

The Musketeer is a film very loosely based on Alexandre Dumas' classic novel The Three Musketeers.It stars Catherine Deneuve, Tim Roth, Mena Suvari, Stephen Rea, Nick Moran, Bill Treacher and Justin Chambers.The movie was directed by Peter Hyams.The Musketeer was set in 17th-century Paris.A dashing swordsman named D'Artagnan finds himself at odds with the powerful forces taking over France. He sets out to avenge the murder of his parents and finds his country cleaved by chaos and civil unrest. His heart softens only for Francesca, a fiery peasant girl who claims D'Artagnan's heart on sight. D'Artagnan, after witnessing his unarmed parents slain by the evil Febre ,grows up wanting to be a musketeer, one of King Louis XIII's loyal protectors. Upon arriving in Paris, however, he finds that the Musketeers have been disbanded by order of Cardinal Richelieu, who is usurping the king's authority with the help of his lethal henchman, Febre.Traveling to Paris, D'Artagnan verbally spars with witless quip- spouting musketeers Aramis, Athos and Porthos. D'Artagnan heads off guarding the queen, who is traveling incognito as a commoner on her way to meet Lord Buckingham. The evil Febre, his leash held loosely by the evil Cardinal Richilieu, wants to kill the Queen in order to sow unrest and war, which would create opportunities to profit, a war between France and England.The Musketeer is a film that relies mainly of cheesy action scenes mostly on cheesy and unrealistic swordplay.Aside from that,it also has poor story that makes minimized Dumas' classic into a forgettable novel. Acting is decent and the editing presents somewhat a confusing story.Overall,The Musketeer is a MUST MISS film.

An adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's world, An action movie version made by an action team (Moshe Diamant (production), Peter Hyams, ... )This movie gives us, besides a certain originality of this adaptation, an umpteenth version, which falls very quickly in most easy screen writing "clichés". A story of revenge (murders of family members of the hero by the bad), Planchet a weapon master guide and finally just for serving as transition because once adult D'Artagnan, Planchet quickly found again his place as servant. Constance became Francesca?? Monsieur De Bonnacieux became a sewerman for facilitate the intrusion of companions in the palace, the queen wades through the sewers and plays a woman of the people ... The poor drama is expected to highlight the action scenes.Like a good action film and screenplay of action, too longer and too many action scenes come easily are the culmination of history. The control of the action scenes is widely demonstrated.Shot in the southwest of France's natural settings are well highlighted.An interesting distribution with the pleasant and reassuring presence of Catherine Deneuve, Jean Pierre Castaldi a surprising and very fit for Planchet one of his best roles I've seen, and especially Tim Roth always a credible and more than convincing with a large presence for play the bad guy.Note the role of Tim Roth, Febre, the name is reminiscent of the Count of Fere also alias Athos, D'Artagnan offers something quite unusual: a adventure of the three musketeers without Milady. Because Febre is Rochefort and Ms De Winter together, with all its pure evil thing of Ms. De Winter.Another title would have been welcome, "a story of D'Artagnan and the musketeers". The story was modified just for the intrigues of the era are just used as the backdrop for an action film. This movie is well directed and entertaining.The goal is reached, but despite the entertainment, D'Artagnan is a film that can easily be [email protected]

All movies must be considered within their context, and The Musketeer is one that would benefit enormously if viewers were to judge this film on its own merits. Given the tradition of wonderful Musketeer inspired films, this one has the best stunts and fight scenes I have ever seen. All of the sword fights are quite good, and some is absolutely brilliant. Furthermore, I challenge anyone to find a modern movie with better horse stunts.The acting in this film is not as bad as some reviewers make it out to be. Justin Chambers (of Grey's Anatomy) is capable in his role, and one would be remiss to simply dismiss either Stephen Rea or Tim Roth's performances as anything other than quite good. Even Mena Suvari is entertaining in this film.This film will never win any Academy Awards, but it is an entertaining film. If you happen to see it playing on cable or in your video store, give it a chance; you won't be disappointed.
