The actual story is so good that it really should be remade properly. this version, however, is horrifically written & directed, and absent 3 great decisions, terribly casted. Jeremy Irons' marvelous voice carries the movie.

Gerard Depardieu and Gabriel Byrne more than carry their weight as well. John Malkovich, however, inspires laughter, and Leonardo, if it wasn't for having talent acting with his eyes, would do the same.

There was no consistency with pronunciation of words, or the accent being sought. Even Hugh Laurie ends up looking like a community college drama student in this. the actual story, the sense of dignity in the musketeers' aspirations, and some very pretty shots of ''the french countryside'' keep this watchable, and ultimately, a fun 2 hours.

but I would absolutely LOVE to see this remade with an actually professional script and thoughtful casting choices.
