Review of Captain Alatriste: The Spanish Musketeer (2006) by Carlos R — 19 Aug 2010

Visually beautiful movie (clothing, set, etc.), but otherwise a lacking movie.

There is no real plot anywhere, and the storyline in general is like shattered pieces from here and there - though in chronological order.

The characters have no visible agenda, they don't get room to grow or even to introduce themselves properly.

All in all this movie to me was like one big mess jumping from one place to another, carrying along characters you can't tell apart from each other.
