The Best Castle Movie

This remake of Dumas's swashbuckling adventure stars Chris O'Donnell as the idealistic D'Artagnan, Kiefer Sutherland as Athos, Charlie Sheen as Aramis, and Oliver Platt as the daring Porthos. O'Donnell repeatedly tries to join the group and become a King's Musketeer. They all get caught up in the evil plan powered by Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry) and his femme, the treacherous Lady de Winter (Rebecca De Mornay).

The cast perserves the magic that sparked the 1974 version that so many loved. Tim Curry and the wisecracking Oliver Platt make this movie as memorable as the stunning castle scenes it is based on.

The castles look and feel make us believe that we really are in early France. A deep look at them will make you see the fine detail the was put into creating these elaborate mansions. Even the dungeons or prisons look dark and danky. The Three Musketeers is a reasonably funny movie. It is set in ancient times and tries to be serious in an odd comical way and does not disappoint. It is filled with a lot of slapstick routines that keep you entertained. The story is deep and there is plenty of substance that you are left with after the movie.
