Meanwhile, he also wants to murder the remaining musketeers who are loyal to Ludwig. The three musketeers and D'Artagnan then mobilize the necessary forces in a big showdown and finally put an end to Richelieu's power. D'Artagnan is also at the destination of his journey and he is from Louis XIII. beaten to a musketeer.
background
The film was shot in various locations in Austria and England . Lower Austria ( Perchtoldsdorf , Petronell Castle , Leobendorf , Kreuzenstein Castle , Hinterbrühl , Maria Enzersdorf , Retzer Windmühle ), Burgenland ( Sankt Martin market ) and Vienna formed the backdrop for France at the time of the Musketeers.
Parts of the Seegrotte in the Lower Austrian market town of Hinterbrühl, about 15 km south of Vienna, which today serves as a show mine, were also the setting for the film.
Some scenes were shot in Perchtoldsdorf, where Rebecca De Mornay once attended school.
Since Austria could not topographically serve with such an ambience, the coastal scenes were filmed in England.
Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp were initially considered for the part of D'Artagnan, but both refused. The intended Cardinal Richelieu was Gary Oldman .
The film initially came to Germany with an age rating of 16 and over, but in October 2019 this was reduced to 12 years after a re-examination.

Reviews
“Is there a valid reason to do another version of 'The Three Musketeers'? The task of a new film would be to convince us that the answer should be 'yes' - which this film does not. It was probably a lot of fun [...] to make the film, but not watching it. It consists only of sound and energy with no plan or meaning. "
"A lot of speed, little elegance."
"Restorative remake of the adventure novel, which reproduces the patriotic heroism of the bodyguards without wit and distance."
"[...] braced on celluloid with bombastic effort."
