Logan Lerman...

Did anyone else think he was really bad in the role? Now I don't have anything against this actor, I think he's actually gonna get somewhere. He sure got some talent and I've enjoyed his other work. But his D'Artagnan seemed so awful. D'Artagnan is supposed to be cocky and a bit arrogant but he isn't at all. Especially at the start at the movie, the way he challenged the other musketeers to a duel or threatened Rochefort was simply sad. Anyway, just my opinion. Looking forward to the next Percy Jackson though.

I thought he pulled of the arrogance pretty well, i don't know, it's just something in the way that he held himself and his facial expressions, and also something in his voice that made me believe the cocky vibe.

He's actually starting to be annoying for me. In this movie, he's meant to portray a farmboy who has never set foot in a city before and yet he is clean from head to toe while he is sparring with his father. The movie tried really hard to make him the young looks instead of the young actor.

Yes, I thought he was pretty awful in the movie, especially since I thought on the fence about him after seeing the Percy Jackson movie. I was expecting him to be awful in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and pretty much drag the movie down but he was surprisingly good in that one, so I don't know what happened in this movie.

BEEEEEEEYOND bad! I'm assuming he's in his early 20s but his face looked as if he overdid botox.

As for acting talent, oh good grief. How did he get billing over MacFadyen, Jovovich & Bloom?

Billing equal to Matthew McFadyen probably but I agree. Matthew's proved his acting chops but Milla and Orlando - well let's just say they don't light the screen up for me. I watched it for Luke Evans - bit of totty!

.... needs improvement. The kid who played the king acted even better than him.

Sorry I meant Logan got equal billing with Matthew but he is by far the superior actor. Freddie Fox was excellent in the Shadow Line check it out if you haven't already.

I was very disappointed that they'd make such an awesome, fun film with all of this great British/European talent and then stick in this California kid who can't even grow his hair out and look authentic (I mean seriously, BANGS??). And then they don't even bother to get him a dialect coach so he could at least TRY to fit in. I'm sure that there are plenty of solid young British actors who could have nailed it, and plenty more who would have still been more convincing than LL.

His "accent" didn't even exist back then. :P

Lerman's accent is no more out of place than anyone else's in this film--or virtually any other Musketeers adaptation for that matter. All of these supposedly French characters were speaking English, many with British accents. None with French accents. It's par for the course in these types of films.

Lerman is an extremely good young actor IMO. I recently saw him in Fury, where he's excellent. His biggest problem here is that he feels too modern. Granted this film--with its steampunk airships--isn't exactly trying to be an accurate period piece, but he comes across like what he is; a kid playing dress up.
