The Three Musketeers

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.
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
