Having written about this film just a few days ago I’ll keepthis one short and sweet. (See here)

The Three Musketeers TV spot. One for All & all for flying Warships and cannon bombs...

This is, as MR. Waltz & Ms Jovovich point out, not afaithful adaptation of the novel so much as a modern, fantasy version of theclassic tale with many a change for the sake of the movie. Will it be foreveryone? No of course not, but with so many other films and TV shows (AhemDogtanian) out there it’s not really as if any but the most ignorant should beleft with the impression that this is what the book and the D'Artagnan sequelbooks are really about what happens here. If it has been done well, andAnderson is an extremely hit and miss director, then there would be great scopefor some serious fantasy adventures of the type Alan Moore writes so well inhis ‘League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ comics: sadly lacking in the big screenadaptation.

I know people, personally and online, who are mortified atthe very notion of this film and who would have to be forced at gunpoint toeven contemplate watching it. But at the same time there are many others whohave the reaction that the film simply looks like an awful lot of fun. We’llfind out if it lives up (or down for some people) to that promise of fun soon.
