    clank clank clank !

    The Musketeers is one noisy film. This is just another take on the Dumas novel. There have been so many I no longer remember which of them is like the book. Lots of action in this one, but I really just didn't like this version. I can't put my finger on it, but something just wasn't right with it. Maybe the martial arts stunts, I don't know.

    Yes George, you make a good point of how many ways it has been told. Makes it difficult to focus on the truth of the story.

    Should I shy away from renting this one?

      John, it's worth a rent just for the fun factor. Popcorn only now. Don't be looking for great moviemaking.

        Speaking of Musketeers. I have personally liked the version with Michael York. I didn't care much for the one done in the 90's. And I totally avoided this one. I may rent it to check it out.

        Now I have to go find the DVD for the 70's 3 Musketeers. I used to watch this on TV at least once a month.

          Yes, John, David's correct. It's worth a rental to pass away an evening, but don't expect too much.
