As King Louis XIV prepares to rule France, he proves to be a cruel ruler. When he becomes responsible for sending a soldier, Rauol, to his death so he can have his love, Christine, Raoul's retired musketeer father and two other retirees ban together to overthrow the king. Captain D'Artagnan does not agree with his king but is loyal to him and refuses to be apart of the musketeers' plan. However, they learn that Louis has a secret good twin brother named Phillipe, who has been imprisoned in the castle and his face hidden behind an iron mask. Could Phillipe be a solution and safe haven to the people of France?
I never read the book but the movie sure did suck. Fresh off his TITANIC stardom, Leo is still trying to convince me as a serious actor and not just eye candy for the ladies (he doesn't accomplish this until CATCH ME IF YOU CAN). A noticeable cast but a poor script, poor acting, the directing seemed like it was made for TV, and bad sword fighting scenes.
