korafoxThere is no possible forgiveness for this travesty. I happened upon the trailer for the new Three Musketeers movie and was reducing to a boiling vessel of pure wrath in the electronics section at Meijer. Here's the start of the plot summary currently up on wikipedia, if you don't care to find the trailer:
In the 17th-century, famed Musketeers Athos (Matthew Macfadyen), Aramis (Luke Evans), and Porthos (Ray Stevenson) steal highly coveted airship designs from a high-security vault, the sweet taste of success is short-lived. Their beautiful partner-in-crime, Milady (Milla Jovovich), drugs the trio and sells the designs to a higher bidder, the ultra-cool Englishman, Buckingham (Orlando Bloom); a major blow to the famed swordsmen.
Seriously. Dumas is rolling in his grave. I suspected this was going to be another Sherlock-Holmes style insult (disclosure: I haven't actually seen the new adaptation, but from the trailers, it doesn't seem like they did anything like justice to the characters). But this is so mangled as to be unrecognizable.
