| The Three Musketeers (2011) | comment |
The Three Musketeers is a 2011 swashbuckler film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, loosely based on the novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It stars Logan Lerman as D'Artagnan, Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans, and Ray Stevenson as the three Musketeers, and Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom, Mads Mikkelsen and Milla Jovovich as the villains.Among the many films of the novel, it stands out by taking the story into an Alternate History setting with elements of Clock Punk. Most notably, it has airships. Otherwise, however, it is a surprisingly faithful take on the novel as far as its adaptations go. | |

Master Swordsman | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_17a606bd | comment |
Master Swordsman: Obviously many, but oddly enough, the Combat Pragmatist Rochefort seems to be also the best swordfighter in the film. He dominates his climatic battle with D'Artagnan, who is already easily on par with the Musketeers in skill and beats large numbers of mooks through the film. | |

I Know You Know I Know | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_2d4d16d9 | comment |
I Know You Know I Know: The break-in at the Tower of London takes this to amusing levels. Milady, who's worked with them in the past, knows their methods, and can give Buckingham the information. They know she knows their methods and will tell Buckingham. She knows they know she knows and will tell Buckingham. The English capture D'Artagnan, who she knew they'd use to infiltrate while the others acted as decoys, assuming she wouldn't take him into account. Turns out, they knew she'd do that, he's the decoy, and they do something completely different. Cardinal Richelieu and the Queen play a brief battle of this, the latter revealing to be aware of his plans and the former verbally invoking an Evil Laugh. There are also shades of this in King Louis' and D'Artagnan's talk about love and women, which is hosted under a rather flimsy I Have This Friend approach, as the King is implied to realize about the end that D'Artagnan has been merely playing along. Buckingham and Milday's exchange as she leaves the Tower is also a minor one, with extended pauses and meaningful looks after he tells her he asked her favorite color to see if she could tell the truth. There's an implication he's aware she's at least trying to con him and possibly that he's guessed she's working for the Cardinal (having previously made it clear he knows Richelieu has a spy in his castle), but decides the Musketeers are the more pressing issue. She even gives a shrug of acknowledgement before she goes. | |

Surprisingly, in spite of what the trailers implied, once one gets past stuff like the Da Vinci-designed airships added for Rule of Cool, the movie follows the plot of the original book relatively closely - especially compared to those movie versions that jettison the original plot completely. | |

Adapted Out | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: As in the 1993 film, Monsieur de Treville doesn't appear in the movie. This story gives somewhat of a justification, though, as the point of the film is precisely that the musketeers have been officially disbanded and the titular three are acting entirely by themselves, thus making unnecesary the character of their superior in the force. | |

Batman Gambit: Richelieu's makes up the plot, so the Musketeers counter with their own Kansas City Shuffle; Milady knows what they'd normally do, and they know she knows, so they decide to send D'Artagnan in as a decoy to get Buckingham cocky enough to let down his guard so the other musketeers can steal Buckingham's Cool Airship, which they can then use to kidnap Milady, who sure will have the jewels they need because she would never trust anyone else to keep them! | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: On the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, this movie ends fairly high on the side of idealism. Sure, Richelieu's a Karma Houdini, but his plot failed, the Musketeers have renewed confidence in themselves and their work, and King Louis hints that he's going to start taking his job a lot more seriously. However, Milady's Not Quite Dead, and she and Buckingham are on route to France with an entire warfleet. Of course - Brits may cheer at that! | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_43b154c9 | comment |
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Pretty much everyone in this movie. The only exception could possibly be Orlando Bloom (him being British in Real Life and all, and playing it up even further) and the Austrian Christoph Waltz putting on a mild French accent. It could be argued, though, that the accents are a Translation Convention: most Parisian characters speak in Received Pronunciation English accents, while D'artagnan, a Gascon, has Logan Lerman's American accent, as does his father, despite the latter being played by British actor Dexter Fletcher. | |

The same treatment is given to Captain Rochefort, who in the novel is a Worthy Opponent that ends up striking a Defeat Means Friendship with D'Artagnan. In this movie, he is much more ruthless and amoral, as well as a borderline troll Combat Pragmatist. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Many, but Porthos stands out among the Musketeers. He only gets his sword out by the final act, smacking enemies around by any number of ways for the rest of the film. After doing the latter throughout an earlier fight scene, the mere act of partly drawing his blade scares the few remaining mooks away. For the villains, Rochefort takes the cake by far. His first "duel" with D'Artagnan ends abruptly when he shoots him with a pistol the second he turns back around. He tries to do the same thing towards the end. | |

Kick Chick | |

Kick Chick: Milady does several spinning kick feints in her fight scenes. Possibly a reference to the French martial art of savate being already in develipment in the 17th century. | |

I Kiss Your Hand | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_5f173ee4 | comment |
I Kiss Your Hand: Slight subversion with Richelieu; everyone but the King and Queen has to kiss his ring after an audience, because that's what you have to do to a Cardinal; he often uses it as a way of letting people know he's done talking to them. Buckingham amps this up to eleven. Then again, he amps everything up to eleven... | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Surprisingly, in spite of what the trailers implied, once one gets past stuff like the Da Vinci-designed airships added for Rule of Cool, the movie follows the plot of the original book relatively closely - especially compared to those movie versions that jettison the original plot completely. That's also used for creation of illusion that Milady and Constance were Spared By Adaptation cause Constance dies after the beginning of the war with England and Protestants and Athos needs an unsuccessful attempt in killing Milady to justify her execution. Pragmatic Adaptation meets Sequel Hook. | |

Clock Punk | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_6068c76b | comment |
Despite being a Clock Punk Actionized Adaptation, the film generally follows the plot of the novel and retains elements that no big screen adaptation since The '70s had featured (especially not at the same time), such as D'Artagnan's challenges, the musketeers' hedonism and quirks, the character of Planchet as a lowly servant, the stolen jewels subplot, and all the politicking between France and England, even if tweaked. As odd as it sounds, the film could be at the same time among the least and among the most faithful adaptations of the novel. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: In the novel and most adaptations, D'Artagnan is an excellent swordsman, but he tends to do poorly in close-quarter combat. In this movie, however, he is wickedly good at that too. He even shows off some amusingly out-of-place Judo moves, including a tobi juji gatame and an ippon seoi nage. Porthos is portrayed here as a physical powerhouse who can tear out chains off walls. Moreover, he is so skilled at Improv Fu that he doesn't even need a sword to take on swordfighters. Surprisingly, Cardinal Richelieu himself is turned into a fighter in this movie, and a sparring scene against four guards at once implies he has little to envy the musketeers themselves in dueling skills. It even hints he might be better at it than his enforcer Rochefort, the film's greatest fighter, given that Richeliu laughs at him for shadow-sparring alone instead of bringing in multiple opponents like the Cardinal does. However, in a subversion, he ends up having no real fighting scenes, instead trusting on Rochefort to do the dirty work. While Milady de Winter did have some fight scenes in the book, she is made here a full fledged Action Girl with Classy Cat-Burglar overtones. | |

Avoiding the Great War: This film contains perhaps the earliest example of this trope as far as the time period goes. The villains were trying to start a war among the empires of Europe. While the dialogue focuses on the continent, the idea is still the same, not to mention that a war of the European powers at the time would have likely included colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: The Duke of Buckingham is a honorable man in the original book, while this version is much more devious and doesn't play by any rules. The same treatment is given to Captain Rochefort, who in the novel is a Worthy Opponent that ends up striking a Defeat Means Friendship with D'Artagnan. In this movie, he is much more ruthless and amoral, as well as a borderline troll Combat Pragmatist. Richelieu is also made more evil, given that his novel version was an Anti-Villain. | |

Truer to the Text: Despite being a Clock Punk Actionized Adaptation, the film generally follows the plot of the novel and retains elements that no big screen adaptation since The '70s had featured (especially not at the same time), such as D'Artagnan's challenges, the musketeers' hedonism and quirks, the character of Planchet as a lowly servant, the stolen jewels subplot, and all the politicking between France and England, even if tweaked. As odd as it sounds, the film could be at the same time among the least and among the most faithful adaptations of the novel. D'Artagnan is 18, and the majority of previous adaptations (and following ones too) had him played by guys in their 30s (the needs for experimented leads prevailed). Here, he was played by Logan Lerman just at the right age (18-19). | |

What If? | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_bad22526 | comment |
What If?: Done with gusto. Athos is a total opposite of his personality in the book, being bitter at his state and lecturing D'Artagnan that saving your true love and enjoying your youth is better that having your life ruined by serving the crown | |

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Rochefort, who has actually skills to back up his cockiness even when not fighting dirty. In this adaptation, however, he's a beaten at this by Richelieu of all people, who is shown to be a great duelist himself and even taunts Rochefort about his training methods. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Anderson is a fan of the 1973-74 two-part version directed by Richard Lester. Like those films, D'Artagnan is introduced sparring with his father, Athos wears all black, and Rochefort has a red outfit with an Eyepatch of Power. The 1993 version has Milady dying by jumping to the sea off a cliff instead of being beheaded, which this film recreates by having her jumping to the sea off an airship (only that this time she survives). Also, this film having Judo throws in its choreography might be a reference to that version featuring a Japanese katana master. Rochefort simply shoots D'Artagnan when the latter challenges him to a duel. This references the 2001 version, where Rochefort's substitute Febre does the same to Monsieur of Treville. The famous quote "life is pain, anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something" from The Princess Bride is paraphrased. The contortionist burglary scene is a blatant reference to Entrapment. "Apologize to my horse" is taken from A Fistful of Dollars, where it's a mule. In the practice duel with his son, the elder D'Artagnan (as well as Athos in a short scuffle with Milady) demonstrates the same Mutual Kill dagger move as an early chapter of Frank Herbert's Dune, to teach him the same lesson. During the Action Prologue, Aramis, sporting a hooded cloak that conceals his eyes, leaps off of a roof in a way that's strikingly similar to Assassin's Creed. The DVD commentary confirmed that this was indeed a reference to the video game. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Milady and Arthos both run their Unfolding Plan Montages at the same time, overlapping. But while the audience hears all of Milady's plan, Arthos withholds several crucial details from us, and his is the one that succeeds. | |

Refuge in Audacity: You're being hunted by the Cardinal's men in an airship that, whilst it is cool, is also sinking a bit . What are you gonna do? Why, crash the ship into the Palace gardens, present the King with a document the Cardinal wrote himself which, out of context, makes the Cardinal seem loyal to the throne, making it impossible for him to actually do anything against you without revealing his own dirty work, of course! Planchet: dude's threatened with capture, and he just starts grabbing food off a nearby buffet table. | |

Monumental Battle: The Musketeers busting D'Artagnan out of the Tower of London. (Via airship!) The airships end up fighting rather close to the Notre Dame in Paris. ( As it turns out, a bit TOO close for one of them...) And then, D'Artagnan and Rochefort continue with swashbuckling on its roof. | |

Monumental Damage: The Musketeers' attack on one particular room in the Tower of London must have caused at least some destruction to this part of the building. (In any case, a lot of fire can be seen when they fly away.) Also, the Notre Dame in Paris, at least if some broken off spire tips and shattered roof tiles already count. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade: Duke of Buckingham - from incompetent Camp Straight (bordering Camp Bisexual) to Badass Magnificent Bastard to rival Richelieu. Being played by Orlando Bloom certainly helped. You'd think the same applies to Richelieu, but, looking at the guy's real-life career, his plot in this film fits right in. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| The Three Musketeers (2011) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Richelieu's galleon-sized airship lands bluntly on top of Notre Dame's bell tower and stays forked there for the next scenes, with the entire cathedral remaining intact in the process. In real life, even if a lot of the airship's weight was being lightened by the balloon's lifting gas, the impact and momentum alone would have been likely enough to wreck the building. (And even after this miracle of physics, we can only hope Richelieu's guards managed to refloat the airship before all the gas left the balloon, as the sheer unlifted weight of the damn thing could end up smashing the cathedral anyways.) | |
