The Three Musketeers
2011
The original three musketeers are past their prime and working menial jobs in Paris when their friend D'Artagnan rallies them to defend the nation. To do so, they must undermine Cardinal Richelieu's plot to have himself crowned France's next king.

Found this adaptation disappointing, not solely because of the campy, too out-of -the-box interpretation, but because the only character who had near enough swashbuckling bravado was Orlando Bloom's, and he wasn't even playing one if the musketeers.
As I struggled to keep on my 3d glasses I realised that with the right contacts even moronic dunces can write scripts for a hollywood movie. I say write and not develop. It is trollish in treatment and orcish in execution. AAAAARRGGH
Everything besides the airships was rather unimpressive, and as much as I like Milla Jovovich she really didn't fit this film. The ending felt like the writers weren't even trying.
