Thus, for the member “Direct-actu.fr”: “Martin Bourboulon’s long-awaited diptych caused a lot of confusion, but the director finally presented a powerful and epic work. The Three Musketeers is a grand and charming film that benefits from an excellent cast and an accomplished director.“
“D.” On the other hand, he considers the film excellent: “The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan is a movie I enjoyed. The story of the three musketeers is well known and this version is excellent with very beautiful scenes, the action scenes are well shot and believable.
It’s a very interesting cast, moreover, the actors are all the best and make their characters very attractive. The film is quite dark, but allows itself to have a touch of humor that is not unpleasant.“
For “Flav M.”, Martin Bourboulon’s film renews French cinema: “French cinema, as we rarely see, the actor’s performance and complicity were perfectly used on the screen. For a long time, French cinema has not had the right to a film of this level. We look forward to the second part on December 13th.“

The Man With No Name, on the other hand, gives it a score of 4/5 and compares The Three Musketeers to Christoph Gans’s Pact of the Wolves. “Inspired by Pact of the Wolves, the film seeks a certain historical fidelity (costumes, sets, characters, languages,…) and offers great entertainment.
The density of the story forces us to spend 2 hours. 30 without rest. The pictures at one time are very successful and the staging offers some fascinating action sequences (especially with the hand-held camera and many sequence/false sequence shots to highlight the immersion). As such, some of the action scenes really blew me away.
The scenes, which are almost all outside the studio, are sublime and the acting does its job, each playing their role well. Still, it’s a little flat: the music is epic but instantly forgettable, and a few dashes of contemporary humor mixed with flowery language is a bit of a task. So I don’t have much to say except go to the theaters!“
On the other hand, “Cool_92” regrets some of the scriptwriting possibilities: “A good big budget relaxing movie. The bet is quite successful: the scenes are luxurious, the production is sober, the music is epic and the interpretation is quite good.
Some flaws in terms of script writing abilities, action scenes project, but also some interpretations: Lina Khudri as Constance Bonacieux is not great and Romain Duris didn’t pass either..”

Finally, like 13 people who left a review, “Cinememories” awards Martin Bourbulon’s film an average (2.5/5) and evaluates the film unevenly: “The mixture is far from being as homogeneous as they say. The shift in register is constantly outmoded by the portrayal of characters who rarely rise above the status of the stars who portray them.
Thus, the fight scene in the forest proves to be symptomatic of everything that the work will offer later, with a clear lack of reading and energy spent on epic and lyrical momentum that is not there.“
But it is best to form your own opinion. The Three Musketeers should be found in theaters today.
