Anachronistic--"adj : chronologically misplaced" My problem with this movie is the same problem I have with many modern movies that try to undo the sexism of the ages by creating brash, strong-willed heroines and placing them in historical dramas. While this might entertain some and make others feel better about their gender, from my point of view as a history teacher, they seem stupid and rather patronizing. In this case, you have the daughter of d'Artagnan (the 4th Musketeer) taking on baddies with the help of her estranged father. As for me, I HATE plucky, anachronistic heroines. If you want to portray a strong woman, make it a contemporary movie--don't make our history something it isn't! The lead, for part of the movie, ran around in men's clothes and looked EXACTLY LIKE A WOMAN DRESSED AS A MAN! Sophie Marceau is just too beautiful and shapely for this and it seems to assume the audience is too stupid to realize this! Come on folks, we deserve better than this! What's next? Moses played by a woman in THE 10 COMMANDMENTS PART II?

I was hoping that Bertrand Travenier, Sophie Marceau and (writer)Jean Cosmos would deliver a "unique" Musketeers film, but I was disappointed. The film was SLOW and LIMP. Perhaps the Muskeeters should of gone to the NEW WORLD and dealt with the Native Americans. THAT would make a good movie, Muskeeters help the native Americans against corrupt colonials. The film reminded me of "En Garde", another swashbuckler. Besides, d'Artagnan's daughter does not have mush screen time after her father and his chums enter the picture. The film has inspired such "rip offs" as La Femme Muskeeter and a PAX Cable TV series who's name I've forgotten

This movie must have been at its best at the concept stage. It seems to be a patriotic attempt to remake Lester's Three Musketeers as a French film. The actors are good, and Sophie Marceau is lovely, but Tavernier has no clue how to make an action film. The story rambles incoherently, the pacing is awful, even the action scenes lack tension, and the jokes fall flat. In this genre, DeBroca's Le Bossu is far superior. For a good film with Sophie Marceau, see Police.

This has got to be one of the best French films I have ever seen, the subtitles were pretty easy to read and the cast was supurb. A definite must see for anyone who liked Braveheart or Zorro.The entire cast brought out the adventure and the comedy of the film - Great Swordplay, especially the classical beauty Sophie Marceau. This film deserves plenty of awards, the media should be buzzing about "Revenge of the Musketeers".
