Rating: - Childish interpretation of immortal Dumas's novel
When I first saw this movie, I liked it. The Dumas's fans can object that this movie is not a screen version of his novel. And I will say - that's why it's good. If you show The Three Musketeers with dramatic end to the child, he will be upset. But Disney studio made this film precisely for children of 10-13 years old. Who minds a happy end?
Rating: - fun for all
I bought the DVD hoping it would be good but not really sure it could top the two movies about the musketeers made in the 70's. I was very pleased to find it is very enjoyable and look forward to watching it again and again. It is a delightful blend of humor, history and action with likeable characters and great music. The bonus of the song performed by Rod Stewart and Sting found in the DVD extras was unexpected and really great they sing beautifully together.
Rating: - Well, They Got The Names Right...
I'll do my best to make this review fair. It will be hard, because I dearly love the Musketeers novels, and this movie has very little in common with any of those.
As my title suggests, most of the names are spot-on accurate... but that's almost where the similarity between this film and its source material ends. A few bits are also retained, and some general characterizations (Athos drinks, etc.), but the actual plot events are completely done away with, as are the deeper portrayals of character. Richelieu is no longer the genius, subtle, behind-doors politician, but becomes Snidely Whiplash v.2.0. Constance Bonacieux loses her last name, her husband, her lines, her importance to the plot, and is thrown in as an afterthought. The Musketeers themselves lose a considerable amount of depth and vigor -- Oliver Platt is hardly the jolly giant that Porthos needs to be (instead presented as mostly a clown, ... Read More
Rating: - Great Adventure
Great adventure movie for any age and a perfect introduction for anyone to the wonderful Alexandre Dumas. Stars galore, romance, death, sword fights, fist fights, wagon and horse chases, there's nothing this movie doesn't have!
