Review of The Three Musketeers (2011) by William C — 28 Jan 2015

Grade:Lower 4/10.

The Three Musketeers is an Action/Adventure film that never lives up to.

The tale we so often get to see and starts to become a pretty poor.

Movie by the end. It does however have big budget action and a cast.

That you wouldn't expect to be in this film at all and with some big.

Action sequences and more, they do an OK job here, well kind of how.

Much you can do with such a story like this. I found this film to be.

Safely very poor and here below is why I felt that.

The story is just too complicated and stuffed full of outlandish.

Stupidity and it goes way too fast to be a film with any meaning. I.

Also felt the film thinks it is being a serious film but in the end.

Turns into a farce of stupid ideas and the film just didn't have to do.

Certain things to be a good film. You will see the airships in this.

Film and think "Oh my this film is insane" because there was just no.

Need and took the story of the Musketeers to a whole new level, that.

Wasn't a higher level.

Logan Lerman is meant to be the main character of D'Artagnan in this.

But the entire Musketeers team kind of become the main characters.

Instead, he does a very average job as do all the Musketeers and not.

One stands out at all. The are not established either and there.

Backgrounds are just not given away enough and they disappear quicker.

Than they arrived. Christoph Waltz hit a new low with this movie as he.

Usually a fantastic actor and evidence is he can win Oscars, but he.

Fails to do well here and along with Orlando Bloom as the other villain.

And also Milla Jovovich they are just never up to the job at any time.

In this movie.

This film's weakest point is in writing not just the plot and the.

Script just never does anything to help this movie, it is just plainly.

Not good. Paul W.S. Anderson doesn't absolutely fail in the directing.

Chair but he also can't do anything to make this film good either, and.

As producer he maybe should have looked elsewhere in hindsight. The.

Effects aren't always bad but I will say they are never very good and.

Overused at times when they could have just written in much better.

Things that would work at a much cheaper production cost.

The film isn't actually awful or to be fair a BAD movie, but it is far.

Far far from good, It does have some good fighting I guess and the.

Ending of this movie doesn't actually end that bad among all the.

Craziness going on. I enjoyed one part with the(POSSIBLE SPOILER).

Airship that the musketeers command and the weapons used on it are.

Fantastic and they really do jump that part up among what us pretty.

Much a very drab movie.

Those who enjoy the story of the Musketeers will be bitterly.

Disappointed I feel and should go watch the 73 or 93 version as this is.

No good remake. It could pass as bearable movie watching for those.

Wanting an out and out crazy film which to be fair has lots of action.

And provides you with not thrills but a sense that you actually want.

The Musketeers to do well rather than just leave the movie in the first.

5 minutes. I will also add this is an alright film for younger kids as.

It isn't too dark and the lighter themes carry on throughout the entire.

Film really.

Overall I give this a lower 4/10 meaning it is safely a Very Poor movie, as I.

Said not awful but nowhere near at all being good. You can tell by the.

End they wanted some sort of franchise from this movie but it was never.

Going to happen with such crazy ideas and stunts going on, a bigger.

Budget perhaps and a whole new team of writers might have saved this.

But it just never can be considered very good. I will also add that.

This is bearable to watch and give it a look and see what you think.

Yourself, who knows what you might think of it.
