The Three Musketeers
Directed by Richard Lester
- Pascal BollierOctober 10, 2025what a cast! oh i so wanted to like this! there are good things about it too, i really liked christopher lee and oliver reed was fine as well. but i have to say....i just could not get into michael york. i thought his portrayel was so goofy and silly and annoying. the action was, for me, pretty terrible. the swordfights were really bad. there are older movies with way better fight scenes (scaramouche!) not my cup of tea
- ZokkiieJanuary 3, 2026A fun, old-school adventure with plenty of sword fights and banter. The cast has a lot of charm, even if the story drags in spots. It’s not perfect, but it’s an easy, entertaining watch if you’re in the mood for some classic swashbuckling. Pretty solid overall, with that playful, cheeky vibe you’d expect from a 70s take on the tale.
