Who's in it? Logan Lerman, Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Juno Temple, Matthew MacFadyen, Christoph Waltz, Milla Jovovich
The plot This latest imagining of Dumas's masterpiece brings all the intrigue, double-crossing and dashing nobility of the literary classic alive, as the hot-headed young D'Artagnan (Lerman) unwittingly joins forces with three legendary - but down on their luck - musketeers (MacFadyen, Evans and Stevenson), after an insult sees the swordsmen each challenge the young nobleman to a duel. Uniting, the foursome must defeat the beautiful but treacherous double agent, M'lady de Winter (Jovovich) and stop her villainous yet powerful employer, Cardinal Richelieu (Waltz) from seizing the French throne and plunging Europe into war.
What we liked Milla's in her element here as the stunning, yet conniving traitor M'lady, and no one does villainous quite like Waltz. And naturally there are plenty of sword fights, aerial fights in floating blimps, secret passageways to skulk along, explosions aplenty and the sort of gorgeous, dashing and well-mannered young men that they just don't make any more. Sigh!
What we didn't like? Nothing really. It's a classic for the whole family.
