The Three Musketeers in Film: A Movieline Timeline

1993: Fifteen years later, Disney tried its hand at the material by casting three of the hottest male actors of the '90s -- Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland and Chris O'Donnell -- as its leads and enlisting Bryan Adams to pen a song for the soundtrack. (The song of course was "All for Love," which he performed with Rod Stewart and Sting.) Although the film received so-so reviews (and a Razzie nomination for O'Donnell), the '90s Musketeers was a modest box-office success.

2001: So there was also a Musketeers adaptation that features a Grey's Anatomy star -- it was 2001's The Musketeer which pitted Justin Chambers as dashing swordsman D'Artagnan alongside Tim Roth, Stephen Rea, Mena Suvari and Catherine Deneuve. Although the film bombed and was universally criticized by reviewers, The Musketeer does have the distinction of being the number one film in America during the week of the Sept. 11th attacks. That's something.

2011: This weekend's installment separates itself from the looooong series of Musketeers adaptations preceding it in two ways: 1) It is being released in 3-D and 2) It is the most expensive adaptation yet. Logan Lerman stars as the young d'Artagnan alongside Matthew Macfayden, Luke Evans, Ray Stevenson, Milla Jovovich and Orlando Bloom. Will it stand the test of time and be remembered as one of the best big screen Musketeers interpretations? We'll soon find out.
