Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Call it the Robert Downey Jr. Meets Sherlock Holmes Effect. A classic popular adventure gets overblown, juiced-up, and generally CGI-ified.
This version of the Musketeers story can't decide if it wants to be an old-fashioned tale of swashbuckling adventure and palace intrigue or a cheeky, effects-heavy rethink of some iconic characters a la the Guy Ritchie-directed Sherlock Holmes.
In the worst possible case, this could go on and on, but please, let's hope it doesn't.
Every time you think it can't get any stupider, it gets right up in your face, calls you "bro," and gets stupider.
