Something tells me this will not be a classic

(New version of The Three Musketeers. Made of explodey. And possibly Steampunk. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, whose best movie is probably Mortal Kombat. Or possibly Resident Evil. Maybe Event Horizon. But definitely not anything that might be mistaken for _good_. Maybe fun though.)

I AM LOOKING FORWARD SO MUCH TO THIS FILM.

I feel a double bill with the 2009 Sherlock Holmes coming on...

just saw that last week, was much better than I expected [very curious accents notwithstanding]

Doesn't really make me want to go and see it. Sucker Punch on the other hand......I shall be going to see on Friday.

Yeah, tell me about Sucker Punch. All I have heard about it was a 30 second trailer... Sod Three Musketeers.

As far as I can gather it has no plot and is essentially 90 minutes of action sequences. But it has Steampunk Death Nazis.

all reviews of SP say the same:

no plot, no acting. Who fucking cares : SHINY!!!!!!!!
which is just fine with me.

Matthew Macfadyen and Ray Stevenson! I wonder if they will be enough to save it. Insufficient Oliver Reed, as always in modern versions.

Bad. And Wrong. have they read the book? That looks like the steampunk version of the 1993 Disney garbage.

[andrewducker]

Yeah, I figured that you would not approve :->

[a_pawson]

The trailer did make me think of Wild Wild West, which is not a good thing.

It looks huge fun, but clearly needs a different title.
