The Three Musketeers (2011)
Another adaptation of The Three Musketeers hits the big screen and its mainly a miss and a mess!!
This is one of those film that starts well,and maybe 2 or 3 scenes in you know its going to be bad.
It's part campy,comedy, and action,and none of it really works.
I liked 95% of the actors in the film, Logan Lerman,Milla Jovovich,Matthew Macfadyen
Ray Stevenson ,Luke Evans and Juno Temple.
I liked most of the sword play,until they started doing this slo-mo thing,i liked the airship battles,yes i know airships didnt exist in the 17th century,and one sequence is borrowed directly from Star Trek:The Wrath of Khan.
The actors do their best with the grating dialogue,and some scenes are just so odd.For example any scene with Freddie Fox as a fey King Louis XIII are terrible,as he seeks advice on how to woo Queen Anne(the very cute Juno Temple).
This portrayal of King Louis XIII may have worked in a farce directed by Mel Brooks or
in a sketch on Saturday Night Live but it doesnt here.
Director Paul W. S. Anderson likely loves his fiance Milla Jovovich and also loves directing her in action sequences.I love watching her in action sequences...but in the Resident Evil flicks.In THM she just looks downright silly in her 17th century attire twirling through the air with a sword. Im not even going to talk about the 3D.
The film arrogantly ends with nods to a sequel,but unless this flick makes a ton of cash in foreign markets ,its not going to happen.
Scale of 1-10 a 3
