Episode 431: The Three Musketeers (2011)

The Three Musketeers (2011)Watch the trailer!

Our second "Steampunk'd Classic" turns to the work of Alexandre Dumas and his rousing tale of a trio protectors who guard the King of France. Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, 2011's "The Three Musketeers" is the traditional tale but with a twist: Davinci's designs work! After stealing one particular design from Davinci's vault, Athos (Matthew MacFadyen), Porthos (Ray Stevenson), Aramis (Luke Evans), and Milady de Winter (Milla Jovovich) return to celebrate a successful heist, only to be betrayed by Milady, who steals the plans and hands them to the Duke of Buckingham (Orlando Bloom). Meanwhile, D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) departs his small town for Paris to become a Musketeer. Unfortunately for him, they've been disbanded. Further complicating matters is that D'Artagnan ends up scheduling duels with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. When they gather to fight, however, they're accosted by dozens of Cardinal Richelieu's (Christoph Waltz) guards. Add in bad blood between D'Artagnan and Captain Rochefort (Mads Mikkelsen) and the introdcuction of Constance (Gabriella Wilde), and the battle is wild and intense! But when the Duke arrives for a state visit in a shining blue airship, and a plot is hatched to destroy the queen's reputation, the musketeers and their new sidekick must swing into action to safeguard the queen's honor and remove Buckingham's military superiority! Plus, the guys reveal which pairing of international films, suggested by one of their Patreon supporters, they'll be reviewing next!
