The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers

Rating 7 out of 10

When I saw the trailers for this movie my first thought was wasn't there a Three Musketeer movie not that long ago?  Do we really need another one?  After seeing the movie I would say the answer is yes.  The movie has several good actors yet none that would raise your eyebrows.  Milla Jovovich is good in all those bad Resident Evil movies I keep going to see. Orlando Bloom who can't seem to figure out what he wants to do after Lord of the Rings and Pirates. Oscar winner Christoph Waltz.  These are not even the main stars.

The movie begins with the Musketeers falling on hard times as the klutzy King of France phasing them out as unneeded.  They are pressed back into service to foil a plot by the evil Catholic Cardinal to cause war between France and England.  A young son of a past Musketeer joins force in his desire to some day been a Musketeer himself.

I know, they didn't rush out and buy their tux for the Oscars.  But you don't go to a movie like this for deep plots.  The action is very good.  The acting is mostly good.  I was impressed with the way it was filmed and liked the way they captured that era of London and Paris.

If you are looking for an entertaining action movie this is a good one to start with.
