“The Fourth Musketeer” (*1/2 out of four) was a stiff retelling of the legendary Alexander Dumas story showing a young D’Artagnan (Matt Ingram-Jones) who travels from Gascony to Paris where he immediately becomes embroiled in an escalating war between the Musketeers (Ade Dimberline, Richard Ingle, Sean Cronin) and the guardsman (Ciaran Davies) of Cardinal Richelieu. Umpteenth version of this story is drably shot and inert. Watch the 1993 version of “The Three Musketeers” or eat the candy bar instead.
