WATCH: The First Five Minutes Of THE THREE MUSKETEERS

I saw THE THREE MUSKETEERS last night and it is what it advertised it is - a family adventure popcorn movie. It is simply ridiculous the number of websites that hate this movie and give very little sound reason. Anderson may have a sore spot in their minds, but c'mon. T3M is great entertainment.

Don't go to see a classic drama or a iron clad period piece because this isn't it. Go to enjoy a couple of hours of splendid imagery and creative exploration within old Europe. Because it really is a gorgeous movie. The costumes were simply staggering and the sets? Well, you can't get better than Versailles (fairly certain that was a major location - I have been there myself and it must be seen in person to be fully appreciated).

The 3D was well done and shot natively. Nothing outrageous to comment on, just good behind the screen depth. The way it should be. Loved it.

To be clear - I loved the movie. Not for the 3D (though it was great), but for the content and visuals. Easily worth admission.

Here's the first five minutes of the movie so you can get a taste of what's to come:
