New Times (L.A.)
Moves in fits and starts, with some crafty and credible fight choreography by Xin Xin Xiong on either side of the pretty but boring middle hour. - 50
USA Today
If this is Dumas, there's a "b" in the middle and an extra "s" at the end. - 50
Variety
A handsome but ho-hum swashbuckler that springs to life only during a few spirited scenes of acrobatic swordplay. - 50
Miami Herald
Its failure to be extraordinary is thus all the more cutting, and its redundancy all the more unforgivable. - 38
Boston Globe
The images are pretty, and Gene Quintano's screenplay gets everybody from point A to point B, though with no discernible knack for wit or subtlety. - 30
Village Voice
East/West fusion aside, The Musketeer is a stale Euro-pudding. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
The movie lacks the one thing that the classic "Three Musketeers" story can't do without: panache. - 25
Philadelphia Inquirer
