Very disappointed :(

... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreAn ambitious film that is never brilliant or terrible. There are some incredible scenes with very good photography. From an action adventure perspective, it was quite fulfilling. (Pity about the silly humor and character arrogance).
... View MoreA really nice movie. Paul W.S. Anderson has made a chaotic world of it: constant fighting, war, action, ... that was still intriguing me. Normally I have a dislike of historical movies, but this movie is an exception (many versions have already been made of '' the 3 musketeers ''. The last filming was in 2011, the film we're discussing now). The author always warns when it becomes too elongated, the scene is swapped or the situation changes, making it fascinating. so initially I found the movie moderate.The film is about the fact that the musketeers must win the plan for the warship, which they can then use against the enemy. They are also successful, but there is betrayal in the game, causing the plans to fall into bad hands. They were thrown down until a boy from Gascony also wanted to become musketeer. He gave them courage again. In addition, they avoid a war.I'm sorry that it takes a long time for you to be in the story. In that regard, the author should do better. You can also observe that there are many transitions of scenes and places, which you do not necessarily see a connection between those transitions. At last if you saw them fighting, it became very annoying and boring in the long run. But, as I said, the author can keep it interesting.It is a must for people who are interested in history and culture. Of course, you can always watch movies and you do not care what kind of genre. This movie is not really tailored to me because I prefer horror, action, comedy and fantasy in my movie. Therefore I give a 3.5 / 5. My opinion about the movie does not change: it remains a moderate movie.
... View MoreIt's the original Alexander Dumas story about the purloined necklace with a few unusual twists. Some good and some outrageous. A lot of carnage as the 3 Musketeers plus D'Artegnan, engage over 40 young guards, kill most of them, and act like they just finished a quiet game of chess. Later on, muskets and cannons make it less crude. Milla Jovovich (as Milady De Winter) somewhat reprises the "busty" comic role made famous by Rachel Welch in an earlier version of this film. She plays a double spy, but her own interests come first. Gabriella Wilde is very fetching as the love interest of D'Artegnan. It opens with a direct steal from Indiana Jones. Leonardo Da Vinci's Treasure vault is filled with booby-traps. Milady runs away with Da Vinci's plans for a flying airship, which end up with The Duke of Buckingham (Orlando Bloom). He builds an airship and so does France. Such an anachronism! What gas do they fill the "blimps" with? They otherwise resemble giant warships equipped with advanced conventional weapons. To retrieve the necklace, The Musketeers must journey to England and return it to Queen Anne's neck. Otherwise a terrible war will break out. It's complicated! Familiar villains include one-eyed "Rochefort" and Cardinal Richelieu. An airborne dogfight between the airships and a duel-to-the-death on the parapet of the castle rooftop. Actually quite a fun but preposterous movie and much better than I expected. Watch the ending titles for two "Easter Eggs" including one for a (thankfully) never-realized sequel with too many airships to even count!
... View MoreFirstly, I have given this movie a 1 star rating because IMDb does not allow me to give it a 0.Secondly, my respect to those that have rated this film as low as it should be.Thirdly, those that didn't and referred to it as 'not that bad' I beg you to watch a previous version to fully understand how wrong you are.Dumas was a brilliant writer and the fact that his stories are still being adapted so many years later is a true testament to his talents. That being said, it is not essential for a book to follow the film exactly - there are not many films out there that was met or exceeded the glory of the original works - but there are no excuses for the disaster of this movie. Airships, please! Milla Jokovich, absurd! The story is weak, the acting is pedestrian and script is appalling. I hate this movie!
