The Three Musketeers (1973)
Musketeers goes slapstick
24 August 2006 - 16 out of 28 users found this review helpful.
Dumas' Musketeer novels are among my favorite books. Unfortunately Richard Lester decided to make a slapstick comedy instead of swashbuckling adventure.
Someone might find this funny, and I guess you could enjoy the movies if you aren't too familiar with the books.
But if you do like Dumas' novels you will probably hate these movies. At least I did. Two stars since there are some decent actors involved. Especially Heston who is good as Cardinal Richelieu and Reed who does a decent Athos.
Hope someone (preferably the French) will make a bid budget TV-series that are more faithful to Dumas' original stories. In the meantime, stick to the books...
