The Fourth Musketeer (2023)

Production companies are constantly racking their brains as to what they can offer the viewer any time soon. In itself, this is not a problem, I think, as a European who sees high quality in American film. And that is in the convincing scenes of really good actors and, of course, the set design, that is, the scenery itself. They are always realistic portrayals.

Unfortunately, this does not always apply to the genre and the storytelling. Themes like the musketeers were transported very well many years ago. A remake like this is basically an insult. Because one believes to bring the spirit of the times into the given modernity. Which can succeed, if it is transposed to sci-fi level, for example. Light sabers and light swords are not an invention of George Lukas, they existed in comics decades before. That’s what someone like me would like to see. The four musketeers in the year 2500.

This movie is not worth the production costs.
