The Three Musketeers
(1993)
Directed by Stephen
Herek this film based on the classic novel of the same name stars
Charlie Sheen, Keifer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt and
Tim Curry. In 17th century France a young man travels to
Paris to become a musketeer like his father before him.
While this film may
take it's cue from the classic novel there are a number of departures
in the plot which turn this into a pretty standard action adventure
story. There is plenty of swashbuckling along the way but the story
is kept simplistic and does not have much character development. Tim
Curry does his best to ham it up as the villain of the piece but a
lot of the other actors are out of place in a period film.
2/5
