The film carries echoes of those earlier adventures starring Oliver Reed and company (1973) in its telling of the schemes unfolding within the court of King Louis XIII, portrayed by Freddie Fox. Logan Lerman takes on the role of “D’Artagnan,” arriving in Paris and quickly finding himself facing three individuals with whom he must fight. These are “Athos” (Matthew Macfadyen), “Porthos” (Ray Stevenson), and “Aramis” (Luke Evans), all keen to show this inexperienced newcomer a thing or two. Fortunately, their attention is drawn away by the guards of Cardinal Prime Minister Richieleu (Christophe Waltz), led by the intimidating “Rochefort” (Mads Mikkelsen), and they soon find themselves before the king, realizing that a dangerous scheme may involve the queen (June Temple) and the impeccably styled Duke of Buckingham (Orlando Bloom). With “D’Artagnan” also developing an affection for the lady-in-waiting “Constance” (Gabriella Wilde), who informs him about the theft of the queen's diamonds by Britain, these four men have a difficult task ahead if they are to protect a woman’s reputation and a king’s crown. Aside from the unusual inclusion of early air travel across the Channel, the rest feels rather underwhelming. While it has moments that are colorful and full of swordplay, the characters feel somewhat like caricatures. There isn't enough sense of danger created by “Milady” (Milla Jovovich), nor from the pairing of Mikkelsen and Waltz, and one wonders how Orlando Bloom managed to keep a straight face during his scenes. The production design is lavish, and the settings are impressive, but there’s simply nothing fresh about it—this is best illustrated by James Corden's rather obvious imitation of Roy Kinnear as the clumsy “Planchet.” It serves adequately as entertainment for television viewers, though it falls short in many respects.
