Director Peter Hyams brings the modern choreography talents of famed Hong Kong fight sequence designer Xin Xin Xiong to this action adventure that departs widely from its classic novel source material, focusing exclusively on the D'Artagnan character and either excising other characters completely or relegating them to minor supporting roles. Justin Chambers stars as D'Artagnan, a country-bred lad whose skill with a sword has led to aspirations of becoming a Musketeer, one of the French king's elite guard. Upon arriving in Paris, however, he finds that the Musketeers have been disbanded by order of Cardinal Richelieu (Stephen Rea), who is usurping the king's authority with the help of a lethally gifted henchman, Febre (Tim Roth). Soon, D'Artagnan is embroiled in an effort to prevent a war between his native country and England, meeting up with a beautiful love interest (Mena Suvari) along the way. As he has often done before, director Hyams doubles as his own cinematographer. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

This movie is a great action packed adventure tale. The fight scenes are some of the best I've seen and the storyline is well written. It will make you want to buy it so that you have a copy of your own whenever you feeel like watching some real good fighting action. YES! It could have been better, but then again you have to say that for most movies out there these days.

I liked this movie. While not completely believable, it is a great sword-swinging action movie. There are lots of heroic escapades and damsels in distress type moments.
