What’s more overdone? The gratuitous cleavage shots or the catchphrase?

I did enjoy ‘The Three Musketeers’ – but boy is there a load of cleavage shoved in your face. The famous Musketeer phrase is also said a lot.

This film is a little bit of a weird one, in terms of how I feel about it. It’s clearly enjoyable but I wasn’t sure if it deserves the step above rating that I’ve given, by the end I think it just about gets there. I like the plot, the locations and pacing, but it took a relative while for the cast to grow on me.

Chris O’Donnell (D’Artagnan) and Oliver Platt (Porthos) would be my standouts, I liked both of them pretty much from the beginning; it’s my first time seeing O’Donnell, away from his ‘Batman’ appearances, though have seen Platt a number of times.

Charlie Sheen (Aramis) and Kiefer Sutherland (Athos) are the ones who don’t work amazingly in my opinion. I don’t love their acting styles here, while I didn’t sense enough chemistry between the two – and Platt, for that matter.

Tim Curry, meanwhile, is always hit-and-miss to me – not helped by the fact that ‘Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties’ is my biggest memory of him, I’m constantly hearing Prince XII whenever he talks – my apologies, Mr. Curry.

Lastly for the cast, it’s also interesting (for me) seeing Paul McGann involved – I’ve very recently become aware of him through television’s ‘Luther’. Funny ol’ world.

Sorry for the few tangents there. My final thoughts on this film: It’s entertaining. Worth a watch.

They say a hero is only as good as the villain. If, by the same token, a villain is only as bad as the hero, then The Three Musketeers has, proportionately speaking, the best villains of any movie. Tim Curry and the diabolical Michael Wincott are inspired choices for Cardinal Richelieu and the Count (for some reason Captain in this movie) de Rochefort. In contrast, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O’Donnell, and Oliver Platt as Aramis, Athos, D’Artagnan, and Porthos, respectively, are like the Three Stooges without Moe, Larry, and Curly (i.e., Shemp, Joe, and Joe).

Athos, Porthos, Aramis, d’Artagnan; for those who have read Dumas’s Musketeers saga, these aren’t mere mortals; they are titans, demigods, princes of the Universe. Even The Man in the Iron Mask – an otherwise bad movie – knew that the Musketeers demand actors who can throw their weight around; in that case, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gérard Depardieu, and Gabriel Byrne (no points for guessing Depardieu’s role).

Sutherland is the only film actor among the quote-unquote heroes; the rest are glorified TV stars. Sheen in the role of Aramis is simply outrageous; it’s true that both the character and the actor are fond of women, but Aramis likes ladies and Sheen likes whores, and it’s safe to say that the actor and the character make their conquests in very different circles. Moreover, Aramis has class, grace, and elegance; Sheen, on the other hand, has exactly what he deserves (this film was released just six years after Wall Street, but Sheen’s career even then was for all intents and purposes over). As for O’Donnell, what can you really say about him?

Dumas’s original novel opens with one of the best father-and-son heart-to-hearts in literature (although the gold standard remains Polonius and Laertes in Hamlet). At the beginning of The Three Musketeers, though, D’Artagnan Sr. is already pushing daisies; “my father was a musketeer”, boasts Junior; “the personal bodyguard of the King”, to which someone, quite rightly, replies: “the King was assassinated. Your father was a failure”. If it’s any consolation, at least he wasn’t as big a flop as this movie (which ends on a very positive note, and not just because it’s finally over; similar to its protagonists and antagonists, its official theme song is as good as the movie is bad).

Lighthearted version of the Dumas’ classic with a good cast, especially Oliver Platt & Michael Wincott who steal the movie with inspiring performances.
Produced by Walt Disney Studios and loosely based on the Alexandre Dumas père epic ‘cloak and sword’ romance novel, “The Three Musketeers” is a lighthearted action / adventure flick plenty of humor with a good cast of (then) young stars, some of them coming from previous collaborations such as “Young Guns” or “Flatliners”.

Director Stephen Herek (“Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure”; “The Mighty Ducks”) and the screenwriter David Loughery (“Dreamscape”; “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier”) gave it a modern twist to some of the dialogue and situations and the result is a fresh take on an all time classic, a ‘popcorn flick’ that entertains without insulting the audience.

The characters are colorful enough; the humor works; the pace is frantic and the action sequences are mostly, well done, the movie never gets boring and the cast delivers appropriate performances, from the over the top cheesy villain of “Mr. Rocky Horror Picture Show”, Tim Curry as the malevolent Cardinal Richelieu to the more serious in tone, but way effective, Rebecca De Mornay as Milady de Winter.

Chris O’Donnell & Gabrielle Anwar, fresh from their breakthrough roles alongside Al Pacino in Martin Brest’s “Scent of a Woman”, play respectively D’Artagnan and Queen Anne of Austria, with Hugh O’Connor (the young Christy Brown in “My Left Foot”) as her husband, King Louis XIII of France. O’Donnell displays well on-screen the reckless Gascon who dreams to be an honored Musketeer like his late father.

Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland, together again after “Young Guns”, play the (not so) religious Aramis and the regretful Athos, with Oliver Platt stealing all the Three Musketeers’ scenes as the flamboyant ‘bon-vivant’, Porthos. Sheen got the top billing due to his star status back in ’93, but his character is the emptiest in story arc and the Musketeer with less screentime (and less memorable, too).

Michael Wincott, forever the ‘baddie’ (“Robin Hood – Prince of Thieves”; “The Crow”; “1492 – Conquest of Paradise”) is once again, excellent portraying an evil character as Captain Rochefort.

Julie Delpy’s role as Constance is too small for even get some consideration and Paul McGann in the dual role of the D’Artagnan’s fellow Gascon with a feud, Girard and one of the Cardinal’s guards, De Jussac plays both differently as if it were not the same actor.

In short, if a viewer wants to watch a more sober, closer to the book and much longer adaptation of this all time classic, should check the Salkind’s produced epics of the 70’s directed by Richard Lester and starred by Michael York as D’Artagnan; Oliver Reed as Athos; Richard Chamberlain as Aramis; Faye Dunaway as Milady De Winter and Charlton Heston as the Cardinal, if not, and just want to spend less than 2 hours of pure escapism, this version is the one to get.

Fans of movies such as “Young Guns”, “The Rocketeer”, “The Mummy” or “The Mask of Zorro” will appreciate this unpretentious, but entertaining flick.
