Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 5:14PM Quick. Name the 'Three Musketeers.'
If you were able to name them, you probably are excited that there's a new Three Musketeers movie coming out.
I would be so much more excited if this was about a candy bar. At least the candy bar is something to look forward to, all light and chocolatey. I might go so far as to say that I look forward to this movie less than I was looking forward to Starship Troopers. But might I add that seeing ST in the theater turned out to be one of my most memorable moments at the movies. The bar is not set as high for Musketeers though, I'm not expecting "They sucked out his brains" quality moments.
Outside of the pleasure of another Milla Jovovich movie, the only thing this one has going for it is Matthew Macfadyen. A buddy turned me on to BBC's MI-5 many years ago and I have been waiting for him (and a few others) to take off ever since.
The trailer looks exactly as one would expect a Musketeers trailer to look, which leads me to believe the movie is going to look exactly they way I expect it to look. That doesn't bode well. It's a collection of overly-periodicly not-quite-household-name actors and actresses, an explosion escape, swords, guns, the usual.

trailer isnt working
I'm sorry you wanted to watch it.
ive already seen it all im saying its not working here, and plus i kind of want to see it
Irony is the Three Musketeers Bar is still the same mediocre concoction as when I was a kid. Now if they came out with a bar with nuts in it...I'd bite.
