Blu-ray Review: ‘The Three Musketeers’ Remake Fails to Justify Its Existence
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 27, 2012 - 7:43am.CHICAGO – In a subpar, mediocre and entirely disposable sort of way, Paul W.S. Anderson’s “The Three Musketeers” could prove diverting for undiscerning viewers, particularly those in the lower double digits. Everyone else has already steered clear of this unnecessary remake helmed by the king of junk entertainment, who mistakenly believed this dreck would lead to a franchise.

Blu-Ray Review: Boring ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’ Falls Flat in 2D

Sign me up. And I wasn’t alone as the film made a stunning $300 million worldwide (more than double any other film in the franchise). Sadly, the traditional Blu-ray proves that 3D was the main reason for not just the film’s success but its very existence. It doesn’t work without it.
