Aaaaaah!

Just came back from Three Musketeers and, as predicted, it was shitmazing. And it didn't make it to shitastic. As Toby says, the CG guys had to cosntantly be churning out more France scenery because Orlando Bloom was chewing it up as fast as they could make it.

Not enough Musketeer action, D'Artagnan is, as usual, the most boring character there, and I think the costuming spanned, like, three centuries. All in all, exactly what I expected and I'm not sorry I saw it on the big screen.

I think I said it in the comment on a previous post, and I'm in love enough with my own words to say it again: I have a feeling that each generation gets the Three Musketeers they deserve, and there's probably a thesis for someone in that.

I'm glad you repeated it because that's a really interesting comment! No thesis, but could you maybe give a couple of one-liners illustrating how that would work? I'm very intrigued!

Interesting way of looking at that. Personally I still hold the 1978 Richard Lester version as the standard by which I measure Musketeer movies. I'd call Paul WS Anderson's version about 70% of that.
