The Three Musketeers

Movie: The Three Musketeers
Genre: swashbuckling adventure
Synopsis: The (sort of) classic Alexander Dumas story.  Three of the French king’s musketeers – Athos, Porthos and Aramis – are pretty much out of work and looking for adventure.  They befriend a young musketeer-wannabe - D'Artagnan.  The four of them team up to save France from the plot hatched by the evil Cardinal Richelieu (Christopher Waltz) and Milady de Winter (Mila Jovovich) to convince the king that his queen is having an affair with the Duke of Buckingham (Orlando Bloom).  Along the line there are numerous swordfights, they break into a secret vault that belonged to Leonard deVinci and engage in the world’s first arial dogfight.

My two cents: A pretty fun film.  I think I laughed more at the 1973 version – this one is worth seeing.
