One with action, suspense, romance, and intense heart-racing moments? If you like superhero or pirate movies, this movie should join your watch list! The film stars Chris O’Donnell, Kiefer Southerland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, Tim Curry, and Rebeca De Monai. The movie is based around a young man named D’Artagnan (Chris O’Donnell), who dreams of being a Musketeer. We come to learn that the Musketeers have been disbanded by the villainous Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry), and now the Cardinal guards protect the king. But not all the Musketeers are disbanded; Aramis (Charlie Sheen), Athos (Kiefer Southerland), and Porthos (Oliver Platt) are the last three left. All hope may be lost as the Cardinal sends out the king’s army to kill the final surviving Musketeers to steal the throne. However, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are not throwing down their weapons.
This movie has been remade more than once, but every past remake has done exceptionally well in the eyes of the viewers. Overall, the movie has a strong plot with great performances from the main characters and includes exhilarating sword-fighting scenes. Though some acting may be viewed as disingenuous or forced, these films tend to be highly appreciated and provide a fun time. I give this film a gold bar.
