Possibly the worst 'mini-series' of all time. In fact, I was only able to make it through the first 20 minutes before having to shut it off entirely. Absolutely everything about this is bad, from total lack of direction using cheap hand-held camera work to the most dreadful music ever written. All the 'actors' are dubbed, there is no live sound recorded, and the voices that are there are all terrible actors. The muzak makes elevator trash sound like Mozart by comparison. And it's accompanied by some sort of really cheaply made synthesizer. The costumes were apparently designed for some community theatre production by amateurs. The sets are cheaply made from cardboard cutouts. And worst of all it's exceedingly DULL, even for the short time I watched it. How this ever got the rating it did is totally beyond my compression, unless they were all from Russian voters. If you want to check out for yourself how bad it is, it's available on you tube.

It's a great movie. And of course it's a bit old-fashioned for nowadays. But I really, really love it. And I haven't seen better Three Musketeers movie up till now. Though I've seen a lot. Music, songs, lyrics, actors, director - everything is just fitting greatly together to make it a really classic movie which will be still loved after so many years. And the songs they still sing and everybody, literally everybody in Russia knows the songs and even the quotes by heart. It is sometimes funny and sometimes really romantic and sometimes a bit naive film. And its surely worthwhile to watch! Boyarski (D'Artagnian) still lives in St. Petersburg and still terribly popular, especially for his role in this movie. I've seen him lately walking on the bank of Moika river - in black long coat and a black huge hat... and still with his mustache...

I was born when this movie came out, so I saw it much later. Some times even now in my twenties I take out that film and watch it. The movie is very simple; it is about good and evil, adventure and misfortune. The whole romanticism with being a hero, a true hero. It is an absolute escape from the reality, but that is what it supposed to be.Even now when we go camping with my friends we always sing the memorable songs from this movie.The silliest and most ironic part about the movie is the duet between de'Treville and d'Artagnan, where de'Treville sings, "How old are you my child?" and d'Artagnan (Boyarski with huge mustache and is about 30-35) answers back, "I am 18 years old!" That is the greatest silliness.

A properly light-hearted adaptation of A. Dumas' book, with a lot of singing, dancing, fencing and prancing around.What's bad about this movie, is that it's ultimately brainless and looks like it was made for 8-year-olds, or something, but this is why I still remember it in the first place - because I first saw it when I was about that age. (True, this is just the age when people normally read the book). Another disadvantage is that the characters don't look like Frenchmen at all - and don't even attempt to, except D'Artagnan and possibly Athos. These two arguably do have something "French" about them. What's good about this movie is that it offers no angle to the wind, and you can take it in like a glass of beer - you're through before you even know it.One more thing, the film was obviously made under a strong influence of "CJ Superstar", which shows especially in the fact that Aramis is the spit and image of Ted Neeley (with a goatee) - looks like him and sings like him, though I can't say if that's good or bad.Score it 3/10.
