Nope. Didn't even know about it. With that cast list? I'm afraid, I'm not even interested.
I'll probably check it out though.

Lots of European actors means "accent", which is nice.
Not sure about some of the line up or what they'll rate this...I imagine no more than PG-13 with it being 3D...maybe even PG (but doubt it with this cast).
Logan Lerman played the youngest son in Patriot. It should be nice to see him as d'Artagnan. The age differences are about right; that's a plus. And Bloom is a bad guy. Hmm. He can do slimy, not my favorite for him, 'cause I prefer him as the good guy. Will keep my eye on this one. It has potential.

Can't see a freakin' thing when they put everything up for one frame!!!! Is that REALLY Versailles?  not built for almost a hundred years AFTER the story! Hmmmm. But, as I say, hard to tell when they don't actually SHOW anything! Nice last line, though...."Only forty...it was an off day!"  *edit* I looked it up...the palace is Castle Herrenchiemse in Germany...or, at least, that's where they filmed. |

RE: Versailles or Germany. Not sure if it's the writers or movie producers that don't seem to be too concerned about accuracy these days. Too much artistic license all rationalized by phrases like, "It's based on a fictional story, thus, facts are not as important as the tale." Statements like that drive me nuts! Though just looking at the preview makes it obvious its another movie for cinematography with the Matrix-like slo-mo shots and Willy Wonka-like costume poses.
RE: Last line. Loved that line too! Hopefully the humor rocks the movie like it did Young Blades and Dumas' original tales.
I will most likely see in 3-D only because I'm a Musketeer fan and the action looks to package it well. Not all movies benefit from 3-D.

You can pretty well see the 3-D in the trailer, even without the glasses.
could be good. I don't know if it's worth paying for the 3D...presumbly, they'll charge extra still.

The official web site says this movie will be out October 21st.
Part of me wants to see it in 3D. I mean, it is the 3 Musketeers.

Okay, I saw the movie! I decided to go for the complete 3D package. So here's what I thought... Q: Did I like it? A: I liked some of it. Didn't like some of it. I did enjoy the story kernel, which more or less kept true to Alexandre Dumas' novel. What I didn't enjoy were the fantasy-like flying ships. Hey, producers, we're not dealing with Peter Pan here! 3M doesn't need that kind of artistic license messing with it, IMHO. Q: Were the characters right? A: Yes! I loved each original: Aramis, Athos, Porthos, and d'Artagnan. Cardinal Richelieu was well casted (Christoph Waltz) and so was the sinister Milady (Milla Jovovich). I personally feel Orlando Bloom's acting as Buckingham was a bit over the top...maybe due to his flying ships he took on more of a fantasy character Johnny Depp would play. Again, not what I wanted in a 3M movie. King Louis XIII (Freddy Fox) is strangely annoying like YB's King Louis XIV. There's an amazing likeness in their characters. Hmm. Makes me wonder. But, I loved young Queen Anne (Juno Temple)! Q: How was the 3M action? A: I loved it! Fight scenes were great! Everything a musketeer movie should be. And isn't that why we all loved Young Blades? Cocky, musketeers who never turned down an honest sword fight. This movie did a great job with the fight scenes. This is where the crisp cinematography shined. Q: Was it worth seeing in 3D? A: Some scenes were. Most scenes weren't. There were too many slow scenes that didn't benefit from 3D at all. True, cinematography was clearer and had depth. I paid the matinee price. It's not worth a penny more. Q: Was there anything else that stood out about the movie? A: Yes, costumes, settings and props were fabulously done. Definite eye candy. |

Here's a Facebook page link for the Three Musketeers movie. www.facebook.com/ThreeMusketeersMovieFound out they had a soundtrack. I forget about those things. Although, when I was watching the movie I thought I recognized some sound score patterns from Pirates of the Caribbean. |
