The Three Musketeers (2011 film): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Action Girl]]: Milady. It's [[Milla Jovovich]], so what did you expect?

* [[Adorkable]]: King Louis and Queen Anne.

** Although historians think Louis may have been [[Bi the Way|bisexual]], so he might have been interested in D'Artagnan as well anyway.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Richelieu, of course; he also uses [[Chess Motifs]] a '''lot''' throughout the movie.

* [[Clock Punk]]

* [[The Dandy]]: Almost every important character [[Costume Porn|sports fancy clothes]] at some point, but King Louis seems the most concerned about them.

* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Milady {{spoiler|which turns out to be a [[Disney Death]]. }}

* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: The Musketeers are doing this after being betrayed by Milady... or they would do, [[Broke Episode|if they had any money]].

* [[Five-Man Band]]:

** [[The Hero]]: Athos.

** You'd think the same applies to Richelieu, but, looking at the guy's [[Magnificent Bastard|real-life career]], his plot in this film fits right in.

* [[I Have This Friend]]: King Louis invokes this when having a guy talk with D'Artagnan. D'Artagnan plays along, because it's ''the King''.

** Buckingham amps this [[Up to Eleven]]. Then again, he amps '''[[Large Ham|everything]]''' [[Up to Eleven]]...

* [[I Know You Know I Know]]: the break-in at the Tower of London takes this to amusing levels. Milady, who's worked with them in the past, knows their methods, and can give Buckingham the information. They know she knows their methods and will tell Buckingham. She knows they know she knows and will tell Buckingham. {{spoiler|The English capture D'Artagnan, who she knew they'd use to infiltrate while the others acted as decoys, assuming she wouldn't take him into account. Turns out, they knew she'd do that, he's the decoy, and they do something completely different.}}

* [[It's Personal]]: It certainly is with Athos.

'''Athos:''' Yes... I don't hate Buckingham. }}

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Milady with the booby-trapped vault corridor.

* [[Large Ham]]: Orlando Bloom quite clearly is having a grand old time. Then again, much of the cast looks like they're having a lot of fun.

** Luke Evans is also British.

* [[Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo]]: At the beginning; turns out the poison was on the ''goblets''...

* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: Surprisingly, [[Trailers Always Lie|in spite of what the trailers implied]], the movie follows the plot of the original book surprisingly closely. It just throws a [[Cool Airship]] {{spoiler|or two, or an entire fleet}} in, cause they're [[Rule of Cool|cool]].

* [[Prisoner of Zenda Exit]]: Milady does this rather than be shot on the airship.

* [[Razor Floss]]: Part of the security measures in Queen Anne's safe.

* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|Milady survived and Buckingham now has a whole army of airships to fight back.}} Obviously a setup for ''The Four Musketeers''.

* [[Smug Snake]]: Buckingham.

* [[3D Movie]]: And done rather well, too!

* [[Token Romance]]: D'Artagnan and Constance.

* [[What If]]: Done with gusto. Athos as bitter at state ex-MIB rather that [[He-Man Woman Hater]] leads to the whole new attitude towards women - like lecturing D'Artagnan that saving your true love and enjoying the youth is better that having your life ruined by serving the crown. Total opposite of the personality in book - and that's AWESOME.
