Review of The Three Musketeers (2011) by Jacob L — 09 Jun 2018

Don't hate me but I love this film.

Love all of it's absurd campiness as if a film student was given a huge budget and was like , yes I will make you guys the best movie EVERA ! and he did every cliche he saw in every film he watched growing up.

Yes the plot is predictable and the action scenes are cut up so bad at times it makes you want to tear your hair out but there's something appealing about all this passion you can tell Anderson was trying to do yet failed in some way.

The cast is pretty solid , Luke Evans Mila andF reddie Fox being the stand outs, Logan was fine but his suppose accent kept turning on and off and he just eventually gave up and used his regular voice. Orlando Bloom and Christopher Waltz play the most over the top villains you will ever see in a big budget picture like this. Bloom literally laughs like he's having the time of his life whereas Waltz just struts around yelling like a maniac and people having to keep kissing his hand ! priceless.

As with all sword films there's a romance and yes it's so cheesy and makes no sense but it's fun to watch the playful flirtation going on between Lerman and Wilde who have some spark at times.

All said and done it's just stupid campy popcorn fun and I love it for all it's silliness.
