The Three Musketeers Movie Review

The Three Musketeers is an adventurous movie based on a more than 150 years old novel by Alexander Dumas. The movie revolves around the Three Musketeers (Athos, Porthos and Aramis), who work for the King of France and do not have healthy relations with The Cardinal and his soldiers.

Although the move revolves around The Three Musketeers, but the lead is a teenager named D'Artagnan. This guy comes to France with the expectation to become a Musketeer and succeeds to do so the very first day. Now, starts the action packed, adventure filled and thrilling journey of these four fine men’s loyalty for King’s pride and honor.

Highlights:

1.       Costumes: The costumes of the 17^th century are very well designed and attract the eyes.

2.       Background Score: This is very cool during the long action sequences.

Lowlights:

1.       Screenplay: Lacks humor. The dialogues in the novel are very comical.

2.       Art Direction\Set Decoration: This department could have done a lot better job as the lots of scenes are inside the King’s palace.

The movie is not far behind on the comedy, but yeah, it definitely lacks the ability keep people laughing most of the time. The people who enjoy the thrill, adventure and sword fights of the old times will definitely like this movie. Overall it is a good one time watch. Hence, I rate it as follows:

Entertainment rating: 3

Critics rating: 3

Real Steel Movie Review

Real Steel is an adventurous and thrilling movie about a sci-fi concept of “World Robot Boxing” (WBR) championships. These championships are very much similar to the Boxing championships of today, but with a lot more muscle as the fighters are artificially intelligent robots made of steel. Also the outcomes of the matches are not broken jaws or broken ribs, but ripped or crushed heads. The movie also provides loads of comedy and fun, all thanks to Dakota Goyo.

Highlights:

1.        Performances – Hugh Jackman as always has done an excellent job. The surprise here is Dakota Goyo, who has proved that he might be younger and less experienced than him, but he is no amateur in the field.

2.       Graphic effects – Although the movie is not 3D, but still it is full of effects and they have never let down. The awesomeness have of the effects has made the movie all the more interesting.

Lowlight:

1.       Although the story is very gripping, but still there are a few boring patches here and there. Though these patches are not large enough to spoil the thrill, but they are neither small enough to neglect.

Overall it is a must to watch movie which will keep you gripped to your seats till the end. Hence, I rate it as follows:

Entertainment rating: 4.5

Critics rating: 3
