Film Freak 2011 - The Three Musketeers (not the 3D Version)

Have I said how much I hate 3D movies, therefore I clearly went for the 2D option on this bad boy.

So The Three Musketeers, it's an idea done in film many times before in 1993 a Disney production starring Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and Tim Curry, 1921, 1933, 1935, 1939, 1948, 1953, 1961, 1969, 1973 & 1974 and it returns in 2011, so was it any good and worth doing all over again?

Well yes and no, here is my breakdown:

Yes:

Great action Sequences
Like able cast
some kinda lame and cheesy humour but it works in this genre

No:

Bad script
Too long - like most action/adventure/fantasy movies

So with these points in mind, definitely avoid the 3D version as this movie does not need to be scene in 3D, but if you want some quiet time where you don't have to think and just put your feet up, but not on the seats as it's a movie theatre, then check out The Three Musketeers, it's not going to win any awards. But it's better than a kick in the balls.

3 stars.
