The Musketeer (2001)
1/10
Truly horrible
18 February 2005
The only movie so far that I couldn't watch till the end. Never saw something as horrible and insulting. First of all the movie is nothing like the book. Dumas is turning in his grave! Movies like that make me go all anti-American and anti-Hollywood. Second: the fights choreographer was a Chinese guy. Xing-Xing Xiong or whatever. I'm not a racist but WHAT THE F*CK?!?

I'm so disappointed of Tim Roth and Stephen Rea, whom I once respected. But the biggest disappointment was Catherine Deneuve. She sold her culture and history for money!

I tried watching this crap twice and failed. Avoid this at any cost!

Americans
29 January 2005
First of all, I'm surprised that Americans succeeded at making such a good movie about Russians. I believe that this is the best American movie that was made about non-Americans. Thank you all the cast and the crew. However Americans will always stay Americans, and even when there's a small group of bright American people (Cast and Crew of K-19) the rest of them are still stupid sheep. How is it possible to give a movie like that, credits like "boring, stupid, SUCKS, not entertaining"? How is it possible for professional movie reviewers to disrespect a movie like that? How can people see only the bad Russian accent? I am shocked! Russians! The next time you watch a Mikhail Zadornov performance, think twice. It's all true!

Onegin (1999)
7/10
British...Not Russian
3 November 2004
Only people with a British/American mind who never read Onegin in the original version can enjoy this. The movie is made in a British way, things that are being displayed in the film are more suitable for England, not Russia. Not to talk about the awful Russian music. The music is good and pretty well known in Russia, but... this was composed in the middle of the 20th century (some of it was used before as soundtracks to cult Russian films) definitely unsuitable for the time Onegin lived in.

Nevertheless, most of the world would think it's good movie, and it is. But the Russians would find it quite laughable and wrong. Hence this movie isn't REALLY good.

Fiennes and Tyler are casted well.
