The Three Musketeers
Director: Paul W.S. Anderson
Actors: Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson
PlotIn a richly stylized version of 17th-century France, a young and ambitious D'Artagnan sets out to join the legendary Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. The trio has fallen out of favor and disbanded after being betrayed by Milady de Winter, who steals plans for an advanced airship designed by Leonardo da Vinci. These plans fall into the hands of the Duke of Buckingham, an Englishman seeking to exploit the tensions between France and England. Meanwhile, Cardinal Richelieu plots to undermine King Louis XIII to gain power, using the stolen airship designs and Milady's duplicity to incite conflict between the two nations.
Determined to save France from impending war and restore the honor of the Musketeers, D'Artagnan joins forces with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Their adventure takes them across Europe, from the palaces of France to the canals of Venice, where they face numerous obstacles, including the cunning Richelieu, the formidable Rochefort, and the ambitious Buckingham. Along the way, they must rely on their unparalleled skills and camaraderie to thwart a conspiracy that could alter the course of history. As the stakes grow ever higher, D'Artagnan and the Musketeers must navigate treachery, sword fights, and daring escapes to protect their king and country.

While 'The Three Musketeers' boasts flawless video and audio quality, its superficial script and thin characterizations make it a rental at best.

The Three Musketeers' Blu-ray offers stunning 3D visuals and remarkable lossless audio, but the mindless and simplistic storyline fails to engage.
