When I first heard about the cast that was lined up for Paul Anderson’s THE THREE MUSKETEERS, I was slightly optimistic. A group that includes Milla Jovovich, Logan Lerman, Matthew MacFadyen, Mads Mikkelsen, Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom and Ray Stevenson seems to be something to look forward to.
After seeing several set photos, images, and the trailer, everything about the film appears to be laughable. These new international character posters don’t help the situation much. Anderson has directed several movies that are cheesy and full of action, but I’ve actually enjoyed a few of them. I don’t really understand the need to re-hash the story of The Three Musketeers anyway.
The film centers on, “The hot-headed young D’Artagnan along with three former legendary but now down on their luck Musketeers must unite and defeat a beautiful double agent and her villainous employer from seizing the French throne and engulfing Europe in war.”
