You gotta love Paul W.S. Anderson. At this point, he probably figured there wasn’t really anything he could do with the Three Musketeers that hadn’t already been done, so as a result he’s stuffed his version of the Alexandre Dumas tale with an obscene amount of explosives, flying ships, water ninjas, and Milla Jovovich doing her “Resident Evil” thing, complete with slow-motion projectiles flying at her from all angles. The woman just can’t seem to get away from having projectiles flying at her in 3D, it seems.
The hot-headed young D’Artagnan (Logan Lerman) joins forces with three rogue Musketeers (Matthew MacFadyen, Luke Evans and Ray Stevenson) in this reboot of Alexandre Dumas’ story. They must stop the evil Richlieu (Christoph Waltz) and face off with Buckingham (Orlando Bloom) and the treacherous Milady (Milla Jovovich). The action adventure is given a state of the art update in 3-D.
Starring Logan Lerman, Milla Jovovich, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Mads Mikkelson, Gabriella Wilde, Juno Temple, Orlando Bloom, Christoph Waltz and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.
Swashbuckling into theaters October 14, 2011.
