There are several film adaptations of Alexandre Dumas’ story The Three Musketeers. Just this year a new two-parter from France was released in cinemas. Probably the craziest version of the cloak-and-dagger adventure comes from 2011: The Three Musketeers by Paul WS Anderson. Today the blockbuster is on TV, which somewhat surprisingly found a place in Quentin Tarantino’s heart.
What is The Three Musketeers about and why is the film worth it?
When the young hothead D’Artagnan (Logan Lerman) comes to Paris in the 17th century, he manages to convince the three musketeers Athos (Matthew Macfadyen), Porthos (Ray Stevenson) and Aramis (Luke Evans) of his passion and talent convince. They accept him into their ranks. At the same time, Cardinal Richelieu (Christoph Waltz) is making dark plans. Together with his henchman Rochefort (Mads Mikkelsen) and the devious M’lady de Winter (Milla Jovovich), he wants to rise to the top of the state.

The story is familiar, but the wild design of the adventure will surprise you. Matthias Hopf from Moviepilot wrote about the film:
Like few other directors [Paul W.S. Anderson] in love with Action scenes full of slow motion, which make excellent use of the cinematic spaces in which they take place. The Resident Evil films are the best example of this. The Three Musketeers also has a lot to offer in this regard and impresses with its playful ideas. Tarantino loves The Three Musketeers, but there was no room for Spielberg and Scorsese on his list
Every now and then, Quentin Tarantino’s favorite film lists of the year are made public. The Pulp Fiction director always surprises with his choices. This is how The Three Musketeers, which was entertaining but criticized by critics, made it onto the scene Ranked 11th among Tarantino’s top films of 2011, as reported by the Washington Post. And this in a year in which master directors Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese released new works.
Companions and Hugo Cabret only received a consolation place in the other entries. By the way, the top 3 looks like this:
