The Musketeers, 16th Century defenders of the French monarch, have just been disbanded by the duplicitous Cardinal Richelieu. Now only three of them remain--Athos, Prothos and Aramis--to stand in the way of Richelieu who's plotting to overthrow the young King and assume the throne. Barely post-pubescent, His Royal Highness is extremely vulnerable to Richelieu's elaborate political machinations; but fortunately, D'Artagnan, a young man longing to join forces with the Musketeers, happens along. D'Artagnan's worldly idealism and reverence for the Musketeers infuses the trio with a renewed sense of importance as they unite one for all and all for one. The classic adventure tale updated, with soundtrack music by Sting, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart. [More]

Reviews
A fun adventure, but nothing new. Average retelling of the legend. Platt steals the show.
A bubble-gum swashbuckling adventure, rapidly fading in the cultural rear-view mirror. Still, it goes down easy, and Tim Curry makes a good bad guy.
Audaciously limpid Disney swill that's so slick it almost convinces us Dumas had an MTV attention span.
Very mildly entertaining. Not even worth watching a second time, but it worked as a Saturday matinee.
