The Three Musketeers

The latest screen version of the Dumas story is, for me, one of the most enjoyable. Everyone seems to be having a good time and whilst not of the highest quality acting it is a real romp from start to finish.
Action abounds with lots of swash & buckle. Explosions, sword fights and a real sense of the "Age of Reason" and the advent of war machines extraordinaire enhance a movie that seems to fly past. We forgive the dialogue and the accents, we forgive the need to be politically correct and all because it is such darned good fun.
Go see it and enjoy it.

The ships hulls being lifted by airships simultaneously made me want to see it and not see it.

Glad you enjoyed: it I might pick it up on DVD
