Dumas' great story is given a fine setting in this film. It has caught the spirit of the story, reproducing it almost as the average person has imagined it. The setting, the costumes and the action are all just what the imagination naturally pictures them, hence the film cannot be anything but successful. The four friends, Athos, Porthos, Aramis and d'Artagnan, are there and their action is in harmony with what one may expect. Also those who have never read the story cannot fail to be interested in the film. It is filled with action, as befits the tale. Further, those portions have been retained which carry the audience forward and introduce them to the principal features in the chain of sensational events which the novel describes. - The Moving Picture World, September 23, 1911
