The Three Musketeers (2011)

Im not sure if "The Three Musketeers" is supposed to be a reboot of the 1993 Walt Disney film but there's not much to explore other than better effects and a 21st century retelling of the classic tale. Many over-the-top (OTT) moments are fun yet gives the movie less credibility in terms of relating to classic literature. Impressive music by Paul Haslinger should be noted. Despite being entertaining and hardly boring, the weakest link in the movie is Milla Jovovich's character. No offense to Milla but there should have been lesser emphasis on her character and more on the title fellows. Ray Stevenson steals the show as Porthos. D'Artagnan, Aramis, and Athos are left in the shadows.

Score: 6.5/10
