" The 3 Musketeers" is one of my all time favorite books. The 1993 cinema version was 1 of my favorite films as a child. Still is. When I found out they were remaking it, excitement took over me.
The story and general concept are still the same. Just slightly modified. The director, Paul Anderson (Resident Evil, Death race) is no stranger to action films. He provided the movie with a touch of stylized action and contemporary fight scenes. Logan Lerman showed that he is turning into Hollywood's young actors to watch. the rest of the actors portraying the musketeers did a good job. the stand out for me was Orlando Bloom. he stole every scene he was in and made an excellent villain, despite appearing in a few number of scenes. Christoph Waltz did an amazing job as he always does, justifying his oscar win 2 yaers ago. My only complaint was the over use of Milla Jovovich. her character is minor in the books and previous film adaptations, but somehow it felt like she was in every single scene. i knew beforehand that she is married to the director , so there's no surprise there.
Overall, it was an enjoyable film.great time at the movies and kept your interest for 2 hours. the 3D wasn't that great though. recommended to those who love adventure films . 8/10
