The Three Musketeers (2011)

An Enjoyable Slant and Modern Eye on a Classic Tale

[7/10 · 18 April 2014]

I've just watched The Three Musketeers (2011) and all the way through it I found myself having the biggest, most stupid grin on my face. A star like Milla Jovovich (as Milady de-Winter) sending up her Alice character from Resident Evil, was pure class. I never thought Alexander Dumas' story would transfer over to A Wachowski Brothers style action / adventure, but it did! With Pirates of the Caribbean styled music drifting in and out of the soundtrack, just added to the yarn. If you're a literary aficionado, then stay away from this film, as it will only wind you up. But if you're looking for something fun, enjoyable and a taster to a true literary great, then watch this, you wont be disappointed. By the way, Orlando Blooms' swagger as the Duke of Buckingham, really is something to behold. Enjoy!
