Given Anderson’s previous form there was little chance this was going to be a light, delicate detailing of French courtly rituals with a dash of intrigue and the occasional crossed swords, but this is more like The Matrix Renaissance. This is most definitely not your great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather’s Three Musketeers.
The Three Musketeers does have a great cast though, with Logan Lerman , Milla Jovovich , Matthew Macfadyen , Ray Stevenson, and Luke Evans joined by Mads Mikkelson , Gabriella Wilde, Juno Temple with Orlando Bloom and Christoph Waltz, who looks resplendent in his Cardinal’s outfit and not a bit like The Spanish Inquisition.
