The Three Musketeers-Thrilling

I know most people ripped on this movie because of a few flaws that do exist within it, but I hardly view these "flaws" as substantial evidence to judge the movie as a failure.  The main flaws that you could account in it are simply a few lines that seem similar to past films and a small period where the music feels unoriginal, but through that I feel the film was splendid. The acting was refreshing considering that the cast seemed like a risky venture.  From the young Logan Lerman to the light stepping Orlando Bloom.  However, I did enjoy the acting of the actual Musketeers themselves: Matthew Macfadyen(Athos), Luke Evans(Aramis), Ray Stevenson(Porthos).  These actors are relativly unknown if you compare them to Hollywood giants like Christian Bale or Robert Downey, but this makes them no less worthy of the big screen.  I enjoyed the chemistry they brought in and it felt as if these men had actually spent a lifetime depending on one another to survive and thrive in a harsh, medieval world.  Milla Jovovich was as lovely as ever and added a very gentle touch to the film, I enjoyed her acting immensely.  I won't give away any spoilers or plot points because I am a firm believer in seeing things for yourself and making your own judgments, I will leave you off by simply saying that this film is worth any money you spend on it, whether you see it on the big screen or rent/buy it.  I hope you find it as entertaining as I did.
