Review of The Three Musketeers (2011) by M H — 26 Jul 2012

I wasn't expecting that this movie was going to be a faithful adaptation to the novel. But I was still hoping that this would be fun. But it just felt too silly at times. The dialogue was cheesy. The actor that played the King was over-acting. And when The Duke of Buckingham shows up in his air ship, everyone acts like that is the most normal thing in the world. If I saw a flying air ship in this day and age I wouldn't go around having a normal conversation, I would be like "WTF is that?" With my mouth agape. It also bugged me that half the people had british accents and the other half american. Again, it's not like I was expecting everyone to attempt a french accent. But pick SOMETHING and stick to it for continuity's sake.

There are some really cool fight scenes. And I love all the gorgeous costumes and set designs. But there just really isn't much going on. I.
