Review of The Three Musketeers (2011) by Chad P — 22 Apr 2012
Paul W.S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers contains enough entertainment value to push it over the hump.As a sort of reboot to Alexander Dumas' novel, the 100 minute story seen in this picture flows through without much in the way of excitement or punch.
The plot turns come and go and the scenery changes, but the tone of the film stays the same throughout. Fortunately, it somehow manages to rise above a lackadaisical status.The much needed action is stylized, along with the vehicles of weaponry.
These components definitely stand out from everything else, yet it still doesn't quite hit the level of electrifying.There are some steady performances to go around. Logan Lerman gets overshadowed by the likes of Luke Evans, Matthew MacFayden, and Ray Stevenson.
Watching Milla Jovovich handle the dirty work is a pleasure.The Three Musketeers comes through in the end; just not with a bang of any sorts.
