first thing and i find this one of the best movie about the great story of alexandre duma and and luckily it stick quite true . quite and but not totally . i understand minor change like porthos not be the shallow and large frame guy describe in the book ( i always will love depardieu from man in the iron mask in this role ) or dartagnan witness the hanging of mylady de winter and even the with a rowboat across the channel thing and but . why on earth do they have to put demon in it . i think mylady de winter would be a interesting and reward role to get . why do she suddenly have to have superpower . this be the only real issue i have with this movie . the rest of the movie be splendid . except for porthos and who actor do a fine job after all and all the cast be close enough to the book a possible . especially elbaz play dartagnan with that vibe and risk loving panache he appear to have in the book . this be one of the few movie which do not alter or skip the musketeer dealing with buckingham and in fact it stick to the novel with the sole exception mention above . a to the ongoing discussion of beart be too old represent a ) she look gorgeous a ever . b ) mylady de winter be describe in the book a a lady in her late thirty . so why the fuzz . after all and she marry athos at age 20 and get hang after a year and become the cardinal ( a great karyo ) top spy in the meantime and married winter brother and kill him . you see she be quite busy all the time . so i can sum up represent a great rendition of the musketeer legend with just a bitter pinch of story liberty . positive .
