    The Three Musketeers

    ★★½

    The Three Musketeers are barely in this??? This vexes me! I’m terribly vexed!

    I like the idea of this movie much more than the movie itself. The filmmaking is so grand but the stakes feel so small. This story felt like a made for TV special in a lot of ways. Loved the almost guerilla style filmmaking on the action and some of the choreography was fun. I’m a sucker for swashbucklers, and this hits some of the right beats, but it felt like it was missing a lot of what I came for. Oliver Reed was criminally underutilized.

Frames are so full with action in every corner and screenplay is so logical it answers the audiences questions before we can ask it. So much care was put into this. It’s a perfect movie.

    A charming delight. Snappy dialogue and timeless humor throughout this film make it fly by. A transportive look into the golden age of Hollywood that really highlights the power of the A-lister which we no longer really have these days. The colors pop and the choreography is quick and fun. Only real flaw here is there’s some songs that are a little off. One seems shoehorned in while the other just drags on for far too long. They never bring the movie to a halt though because you’re enjoying the chemistry between all our leads too much to care.
