This retelling of the classic tale from director Paul W. S. Anderson is unlike any Three Musketeers film you have ever seen, and that’s a good thing. The story is basically the same, but Anderson tells it with a visual style and flair that purists may find just a bit too strange. It’s not just the flying ships that fill the sky over Paris or the Mission Impossible-style gadgetry used by Milady de Winter (a delightfully sexy Milla Jovovich) to infiltrate the castle that makes you sit up and take notice, either. It’s the high level of energy that makes this film spark, both in the action scenes and in the way the actors make the dialog crackle. Christoph Waltz is absolutely fascinating to watch playing Cardinal Richelieu, while the patter between the Musketeers is a joy to listen to.
