The Three Musketeers

 I went to look at the scenery and ended up seeing a pretty good movie.
 Yet another adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel of the same name, it is an hour and 50 minutes of tongue-in-cheek swashbuckling fun.
 Last seen in 1993 with a star-studded cast of Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, Kiefer Sutherland and Chris O'Donnell among others, the latest incarnation is a blend of foreign born actors, the most notable being Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings).
 The story remains mostly the same. The three musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis join forces with a brash would-be musketeer, D'Artagnan, to defeat the forces working against King Louis XIII of France. And there is trouble at every turn. Jovovich is Milady de Winter, who plays the entire field; Bloom as the Duke of Buckingham out to wage war with France; Cardinal Richelieu who wants to wrest power from the king and the eye-patched Rochefort, the head of Richelieu's guards.
 The reason I wanted to see the movie was it was mostly filmed in Germany, specifically Wuerzburg, where we lived from 2003-2007. The structure playing King Louis' castle is actually the Residenz in Wuerzburg, just down the hill from the old army installation, and when the musketeers go to fight Buckingham, they're really at the Fortress Marienberg, just across the River Main.
 We waited a while after it first came out so we were able to see it at the $2 theater, but I would have been happy with it at a regular-priced showing.
