2011's The Three Musketeers will never be accused of devotion to it's source material, Dumas famous novel. While it doesn't have a strong script, excellent acting, or even a loose grip on reality it does have absurd fun in bucket fulls. It's a movie that you turn of all the parts of your brain that handle higher functions, sit back and hold on for the ride.
It's Renaissance-punk styling and and it's devotion to flash over substance may not have won it any acclaim, but it sure does make it a visual treat. It's one of those movies that if you go in looking for a challenging mentally stimulating movie you'll be sorely disappointed but if ya got a bowl of popcorn and hankering for madcap adventure this i the movie for you.
Good movie? No. Fun movie? Yes.
