Now let’s be honest here. The Three Musketeers is basically
a big, dumb pilot movie. It’s essentially a set up for the second film and it
does suffer for that. Never as deep as it needs to be, never quite explaining
any of its many, very interesting scenarios: it mostly just gets a pretty much
perfect cast into some very well filmed action sequences and setting up their
motivations for a bigger deeper sequel. As such it isn’t as much fun as it
should be, but I’ll be honest, there’s not a person I’ve discussed it with who
doesn’t want to see that sequel. Sure it may have a lot to do with the film’s ending.
This film is too dependent on box office
success to be able to go all James Bond or Marvel Studios with a “The Three
Musketeers will Return in: ,Musketeers in Space!’”, But, without spoiling it, I
can simply say that it’s more like they’ve shown us the opening scene of the 2nd
film than the ending of this one! Speaking of which, I’ve also included the HD
video of the first 5 minutes of the film. Aint I good to you? Don’t answer that.
“Based on Alexandre Dumas' classic novel comes a big-screen
action adventure update of The Three Musketeers, conceived and shot in
state-of-the-art 3D. They are known as Porthos, Athos, and Aramis--three elite
warriors who serve the King of France as his best Musketeers. After discovering
an evil conspiracy to overthrow the King, the Musketeers come across a young,
aspiring hero -- D'Artagnan -- and take him under their wing. Together, the
four embark on a dangerous mission to foil the plot that not only threatens the
Crown, but the future of Europe itself.”
