The Three Musketeers... When i first heard that there is going to be a new movie of the three musketeers, i got really excited. Then i saw the trailer..... See it for yourself.
Cast: Logan Lerman, Milla Jovovich, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Mads Mikkelson, Gabriella Wilde, Juno Temple with Orlando Bloom and Christoph Waltz
It looks like it could be an entertaining movie,sure, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the books which got me t.t. I'm still going to see the movie for sure, but i am dissapointed nevertheless, i mean wtf a flying ship? What do you guys think? ^^
sucks. Why rape a nice story just to get some more viewers? I don't think there are a lot of ppl who gonna watch it coz of the name, and every other one would be as good...
Stopped reading there. WILL SEE. Milla is one of the hottest women on the planet as far as I'm concerned
That is propably one of the stupidest reasons to watch a movie ^^
What's wrong with seeing a movie because someone is in in that you like... I'm pretty sure that is what makes actors famous and rich...
I might have understood wrongly what he ment. But what i got from his statement is that he wants to see it because she is hot, not because she is good actor, and those are two completely two different reasons to see a movie.
Why am I not surprised that this has the "3D" tag on it. Note to Hollywood: stop the gimmickry and stop nonsensical remakes. You can do fucking better. We don't need visual eye-fuck debauchery. Leave that to the photographers. The acting and dialogue in that trailer makes me cringe.

Looks like Pirates of the carribean in the 'musketeer age', whenever that was
Not even. That's it, I'm sending the producer a letter.
Oh goddamnit. Why does every hollywood production have to be ridiculous these days. This looks exactly like that, like they started out okay but some producer says it's not cool enough. " umm..well...what if we add silly looking Orlando Bloom and some chicks fighting in slow motion?" Bot, we got a movie that tries to be everything & and fails at it.
e. Movie snob wondering how there is a market for this.

You forget that she typically gets nude in movies. My friends and I have a theory that it's in her contract.
My question is... did I just see an airship? I fear that Hollywood has decided that explosions and ninjas make everything better and will be going through every classic book... I for one may actually watch it if they remake Great Expectations and find a way to put ninjas and explosions in every scene.

Im glad they are doing another movie of musketeers (not glad about the fact that its not gonna be good) , since the 40's version only was like the book and the 70's version aswell , all other didnt have anything to do with the movies. The iron mask was good, and its made from the book the iron mask , not the three musketeers ^^

I would call it been done to death , since only 2 of the movies actually have something in common with the books.
Oh god, that looked absolutely horrible. They could at least have the decency of renaming that atrocity since it obviously has nothing to do with the book whatsoever.
what in the world does this popcorn flick have to do with the three musketeers?? whoever compared this to Pirates up above was bang on. that is exactly what this reminds me of.

He deserves it for his slanderizing of a cool guy like Richelieu.
This is basically the equivalent of calling Alexander Hamilton an evil mastermind.
What do you mean? Alexandre Dumas loved Richelieu. + Show Spoiler +
At the end of the first book Richelieu has d'Artagnan befriend Comte de Rochefort, displaying his power over them. And then in the sequel, Twenty Years Later, every chance any character gets they disparage Mazarin and talk about how awesome Richelieu was.
Anyways, it's not surprising to me that they are going to butcher it. Americans don't read anymore anyway, and if they do, it's not Alexandre Dumas. So who would even protest the butchering of the plot?

The execution of a woman is the only interesting point raised in the Dumas story so making de Vinter an action heroine might not be as bad as it looks.
Cast looks great.
.. unfortunately it's still gonna be a turd for obvious reasons, looks like pirates on crack without the classic matinee touch.

the 3d thing is such a sham.
its the industry's way to get you into the theatre instead of downloading lol
but even that is gonna go downhill with all this new 3d tech coming out from personal computers
To be fair, when 3d is actually done properly, it looks amazing compared to 2d. (Speaking of Avatar, since thats the only movie I have watched in both.) When its not done properly, though ...
If it has GREAT 3D I might see it, otherwise it will be one of those movies I download and watch when I feel like viewing a movie but my mind is too exhausted to comprehend anything even slightly sophisticated...
This movie looks crap, if you read the title first and try to impose whatever pre-determined image you have of what the Three Musketeers is and should be. completely sacrilegious, I was literally WTF'ing throughout the entire thing trying to figure out how on earth it was "The Three Musketeers" that I knew. then I realized:
This movie looks fucking awesome! As long as you take it at face-value and ignore the marketing scheme they've pulled of tacking on a totally unfitting, yet well-known, marketable and profitable brand-name of the three Musketeers. Seriously, imagine a Disney ride made of this movie, now that'd be sweet! It's just about all the movie is worth, making a Disney ride for it. It is clearly set for the summer movie market, or whenever the next big movie-seasons of pre-teens flooding the theaters hits, and a hugely expensive mass-production like this is bound to cost tons, and make zounds more.
All in all, it's an exciting blockbuster set to be fancy and exciting in it's own worth, certainly worth one or two viewings just for the lady/action/special effects. Don't expect much story, and by the way, it seriously has nothing whatsoever to do with Alexandre Dumas!
