Watch The Three Musketeers For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It'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!

I was looking forward to this movie. The actors are great... or should be. The idea is wonderful. Steampunk Baroque! YAY! ALl my favorites in one movie, wonderful! They had all the ingredients to make a great movie. I could even have forgiven the fixing something that wasn't broke. (If you love THE story of three musketeers, DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE. It doesn't follow the book. Much.)SO I blame the script writer. The dialogue is weak, the characterization is bad, people's motivations are incomprehensible, the script writer took multidimensional characters and made paperdolls of them.The costumes are horrible. So horrible that I find it hard to not get distracted from the story. Why does the king look like the king of SPAIN? Why does the cardinal wear an armor? And what's with that... robe of his? I mean, the costumer took the one and only horribly misleading painting ever by Henri Motte to base his costumes on! And why would the Duke of Buckingham kiss the French Cardinal's ring? HE WASN'T EVEN CATHOLIC! When Milady faints in one second and the next starts show fighting, I gave up. In the original story Milady was intelligent and sharp and quick, and could manipulate anyone. Richelieu might have been the villain, but he was wise. He too was sharp and intelligent, but he was wise. He didn't want power to have power, he wanted power because of France, AND THE THING IS THAT HE WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO France.I was really waiting for a treat with Christoph Waltz as Richelieu, and I knew Milla Jovovich's Milady would have some fighting scenes, YAY! I love feisty girls like that! But... starting with one scheme and change to another the next second and... no. It doesn't work that way! YOU MADE HER HOTHEADED AND STUPID. And no amount of chess is enough to convey how intelligent she is. Stupid! The manuscript writer is stupid! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!! So, no! No forgiveness for you for changing the story! The only reason why this movie gets 2 and not 1 is that the actors are great and the idea is great. Horses are great too. And some of the fighting scenes and things are OK too. It COULD have been good.

Silly movie this one but not boring. It cost $75M and it shows. There are huge problems though.First of all we deal with a classic here, so it has a legacy that must be respected. In this version, every character is presented as a buffoon. The acting, the deliverance...Leonardo da Vinci, we learn, has drawn up plans for a flying "war machine," a combination of dirigible and seafaring galleon. The plot and the dialogs are full of hot air like the war machine. The director is obviously thought that these were minor issues!The action is dominated by green-screen and Matrix-like effects.Overall: Not boring if you are 9 y.o. but a disgrace nevertheless...

The Three Musketeers (2011): Dir: Paul W.S. Anderson / Cast: Logan Lerman, Milla Jovovich, Orlando Bloom, Christoph Waltz, Gabriella Wilde: A surprisingly entertaining version of a story that has been exhausted through many terrible releases. Director Paul W.S. Anderson has made many stupid films such as Soldier and Event Horizon but here he presents the famed characters as a token of grand entertainment. Problem is that the title fails since there seems to be four or five Musketeers here as oppose to the usual. Lerman Logan is the young new edition whose father was a Musketeer and he seeks the same reputation. He gets his wish when several misunderstandings lead to a planned confrontation, which fuses into beating up several armed guards. They are arrested and end up on a quest involving airship blueprints and a stolen necklace. Logan fares well as the young Musketeer out to prove himself as well as place himself within the midst of danger and exhilarating sword action. Milla Jovovich steals scenes as a female who betrays the Musketeers after a theft. She is faced with an effective situation aboard an airship that seems too fatal until the closing scene. Orlando Bloom is good as villain Buckingham who outsmarts the Musketeers with Jovovich's betrayal but his defeat bears some humour. Gabriella Wilde plays Logan's romantic other who attempts to warn him of the odds against him. The screenplay is entertaining without being too action oriented, yet celebrating the special effects. Do not expect a provocative writing but do expect fun filled pointless entertainment. Score: 8 / 10
