Preview: The Three Musketeers (2011)

Synopsis:

The three muskteers (technically four), join forces to take out three of the country's most dangerous foes.

• Poster: B

Review:

It has such an old fashioned feel that you can't begrudge how common the design work is.

• Trailer: B; C

Review:

The first trailer, although playing too heavily on the 3D elements works to display the fun and adventure the audience is likely to have watching it.

The second trailer wipes away a lot of the "fun" that the film might have possessed and replaces it with a slip-shod, fanboy appeal that belies a weak screenplay, forced dialogue and events that, while cool when first watched, fade from memory fairly quickly.

Oscar Prospects:

Art Direction and Costume Design are about the only categories the film can hope to compete in, but if the film flops, it may not even be in those contests.
