I just saw a version of the Three Musketeers the other night, called Musketeer. This movie was COMPLETELY retarded. I actually enjoyed the Charlie Sheen version from 1993, but this one is more recent, and sort of follows the Dumas story, but not really. The age of the king is WAY off, and there's no lady in red. If they didn't want to do the actual story, why not do a serialized version? The 3 musketeers was a tv show once, wasn't it? If they didn't want to tell the original story, make another "episode." But this was sort of the same story AND a different episode. I found it quite disturbing and absolutely unpleasant. Plus, they found a guy who looks JUST like Chris O'Donnell to play D'Artagnan, so it felt like it was supposed to be a sequel, but wasn't.
The 3 Musketeers is such a great story that I'm ok with updating it every generation or so, but honor the original story or change it completely (West Side Story).
