I've seen this before, but it was some time ago. I remember really quire enjoying it though. Although I suspect that this may well have had something to do with the fact that I was about 14, and Kiefer Sutherland is in it. None of this stopped me wanting to watch it again though - in fact, watching a fun, swashbuckling movie on a lazy Saturday afternoon sounded like a great idea!
There are no surprises with the storyline here. An evil cardinal (Curry) wants to kill the King of France (O'Conor) and take the power for himself, and The Three Musketeers (Sutherland, Platt and Sheen), along with D'Artagnan (O'Donnell), must stop him. I still enjoyed the parts with Kiefer Sutherland, but this is clearly a movie made for teenage girls. It feels very much like a precursor to Pirates of the Caribbean (this is a Disney movie after all), but with a less mental storyline and no Johnny Depp.
Rating: 3 out of 5
