The Musketeers Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
avtheodorgrecu I always considered altering the core of a huge classic, pure idiocy. There is no way someone would be smarter than Homer, smarter than Robert Louis Stevenson or in this case, Alexandre Dumas. Therefore, changing completely a classic story, to the point you can't even figure out it's basic principles, can't be good - no matter from which angle you look at it. And this is exactly what happened with The Musketeers, a huge classic and pinnacle of the medieval adventure concept.There is a reason Alexandre Dumas' work tingled in a perfect way hundreds of millions of readers. It happened because everything was balanced perfectly, much like in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. But The Musketeers is a sad joke compared to the original book. No matter if you are eager to see the titanic strength and hugeness of Porthos or the devilish intelligence of Richelieu, or even the drama where Milady de Winter or Constance Bonacieux die, The Musketeers constantly fails to follow the original story and pursuits another one, without any remote relation to what Dumas wrote. A story created by an extremely inept team that doesn't succeed anything apart of raising some eyebrows in disgust. Sure, some 7-8 year old kids might be happy to see some cheap jokes and intrigues, but that's about it and nothing more.A total failure, good for nothing. 3 out of 10 in the best case and I'm trying to be elegant.
bloopville The first season is perfect entertainment for a rainy Wednesday night. Stoke up the fire, and watch some buckles being swashed. However, the second season becomes earnest and preachy, so that you start to care more about the plot holes, historical inaccuracies and 2 dimensional characters.Maybe the third season will improve.Well, the third season did not improve. Add one part omni-competent, indestructible villain, one part anachronistic social justice warrior and one part simpering younger royal, and every cliché rides off into the sunset, by the final show.
Soumabha Sengupta This is the first Netflix series I viewed and I was glued to each and every episode till I finished watching all the seasons. A classic which has been made into movies many times which ended up to be either average or below average, this is the first ever series which gives due credit to Alexander Dumas' swashbuckling novel of never ending romance and adventure. Every character in this series was handled with extreme dexterity with great acting from all the actors. The action was at par with the best Hollywood movies. When the series ended, it left me with a heavy heart, thinking of what would happen to the Musketeers, why did this saga end, do we really have such heroes in real life sharing such beautiful friendship and loyalty, it was so well made that the entire thing seemed real. I wish BBC take up more seasons for this series with more adventures of D'Artagnan & his comrades. All the actors deserve a standing ovation for delivering outstanding performance.
deana_lisi This show is, hands down, the best show I've ever seen. The actors are phenomenal, as are the costumes and filming location of Prague.Santiago Cabrera plays Aramis, and he is the hottest man on TV! He has personality, wit, charm, sympathy, and bravery; it's impossible not to fall in love with him. Luke Pasqualino plays D'Artagnan, and he had big shoes to fill considering the fame of his character. He pulls it off perfectly with a combination of eagerness and capability that are very mature considering that he's only supposed to be in his early twenties, (and he's adorable, too!) Howard Charles plays Porthos, and he fits the role exactly as he should: huge, strong, powerful, loyal, and witty. If you ever need a bodyguard, you can be sure that Porthos is the right choice. Tom Burke plays Athos, and is the most brooding and quiet of them all. He has a sad past with Milady, and cannot let it go and move on...especially when she pops up working for the Cardinal after he thought her dead for five years. Ryan Gage is King Louis XIII, and he's perfect as a young, unsure ruler. Peter Capaldi is an excellent Richelieu; evil plots galore, but not evil in everything...in one episode in particular, he and the musketeers fight for the same cause. It's a shame that he got the Doctor Who role after season 1 and left to do that instead. Tamla Kari as Constance couldn't be any better; the chemistry between her and D'Artagnan is like electricity. When they kiss—REALLY kiss—for the first time, it's the most passionate kiss I've ever seen in my life. Maimie McCoy plays Milady very well…ruthless and seductive, not caring what she needs to do for money, fame, and power. Alexandra Dowling as the queen is sweet and compassionate. Hugo Speer as Captain Treville is the perfect military leader, and Marc Warren as Rochefort in season two…I don't know where to begin. His character is SO EVIL, and the way Marc played him…the deliberate way he walks and talks, and just…everything, you want to kill him but want him to live at the same time because he is just so FASCINATING! So, yes. Watch this show…you will NOT be sorry!
