“Nope, itu0026#39;s by no means an accurate adaptation of Dumasu0026#39; original work. Umm, does nanyone really care? Dumasu0026#39; plot, while interesting in and of itself to many, is probably not one that many folks who think of u0026quot;the Three Muskettersu0026quot; could actually _tell_ you.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie sets out to more or less capture the feel of such films, rather than the source material itself. In that regard, itu0026#39;s not too badly done. The characters are pretty broadly drawn, but adequate for the younger audience theyu0026#39;re aimed at. Sutherland, Platt, and Sheen all seem way too young, but at least the first two are entertaining. Platt in particular manages to steal every scene heu0026#39;s in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy the same token, Richelieuu0026#39;s character is simplified to u0026quot;generic bad guy.u0026quot; The King and Queen seem too young as well (although theyu0026#39;re represented age may be novelistically and/or historically accurate – again, could most folks really tell you, or care?).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, Iu0026#39;d recommend the movie for some light entertainment, but donu0026#39;t take it too seriously.”
