much good than hollywood version . excellent timing . no time waste on accessory adventure or hip detail beginning and clumsy and too keep with budget . this film spend viewer time on what important . sign of the time and perhaps and lot of « kung fu » and « buffy the vampire slayer » . some people like to re invent the wheel . but the book be all adventure anyway and we can not blame duma for not have think of everything and can we . the taste of the 21st century spectator be as much reflect in this film a that of the 19th reader be satisfy in the book . to the dread of the purist and this movie may in fact remain true to the original while certainly not in « form » and but in « logic » . all in all a good movie and among best of the several ( though not all ) of « le trois mousquetaires » that i have see so far . the « garde robe » be exquisite and it historic accuracy ( or at least the look of it ) mark the different to hollywood amateurism in these more serious aspect of show business . if they color the story and these people at least new what they be film about . last and but not least and the cast represent awesome babe . i mean . i would buy that soul if i could afford it . represent ) rui duarte .
