The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers

All For One...

Release Date: Friday, October 21, 2011

Rating: Rated PG-13

The hot-headed young D’Artagnan joins forces with three veteran Musketeers to prevent the villainous Cardinal Richelieu​ from seizing the French throne and engulfing Europe in war in this fast-paced, action-filled reboot of Alexandre Dumas​’ classic 17th-century adventure. When famed Musketeers Athos, Aramis, and Porthos steal highly coveted project designs from a high-security vault, the sweet taste of success is short-lived. Their beautiful partner in crime, Milady, drugs the trio and sells the designs to a higher bidder, the ultra-cool Englishman, Buckingham. It’s a major blow to the famed swordsmen. So when, three years later, the devil-may-care young D’Artagnan journeys to Paris to realize his dream of becoming a Musketeer, he finds them a shadow of their former selves, working menial jobs and seeking a causer worth serving.

The conniving Cardinal Richelieu hatches a deadly plot to overthrow the young King Louis. Employing the doubly agent Milady to do the dirty work, he frames the King’s new bride, Queen Anne​ in an affair with Buckingham. If the King buys into the lie, war with England will follow, the Queen will die and the people of France will demand a stronger leader—Richelieu himself—to see them through the crisis. If the King doesn’t buy into the lie, peace may yet stand a chance. But for peace to ensure, the three Musketeers and their young apprentice must undertake their most dangerous mission ever—to receive a priceless diamond necklace from the impregnable Tower of London and return it to the Queen in time for an all-important ball. Can the four friends out-duel the armies of guards that will try to stop them? Can they outwit Richelieu, Buckingham and Milady?

Absolutely brutal to watch. So bad, I couldn't even finish it. Not only is it the worst movie from 2011, but the worst movie I've seen in years. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I watched it simply because it was there, and now I am pissed it was. It was an explosion filled mess of a film trying to bank off the success of the new Sherlock Holmes. Some will be able to see past the flaws and get a good experience out of it, but I just found the film to be way too messy and overly dazzly.

Overall I'd say this version of The Three Musketeers was conceived with good intentions, raised with confusion and presented with low expectations. There is always a following for big budget, style over substance films and I'm sure plenty out there will be able to enjoy this one; even if only as a guilty pleasure.
