I didn't remember much this old version, for most of people the best of "3 Musketeers" films. So, I decided to watch it again now...
...Well... its very accurate to the Alexander Duma's book, no doubt. But... its a comedy, not a drama! The sword-fighting are silly designed like some school-boys are fighting and not veteran adult warriors. They're escaping from traps and ambushes (or public executions!) like parody. They're getting seriously wounded and then you see them fighting like nothing happen.
No... seriously... I didn't remember the film, now I do when I re-watched it. Nope... I didn't like it much. The scenario is accurate to the book, yes... the costumes are great,... the scenes are marvelous... the casting is superb... ...but the DIRECTING is super-poor. That's not a good sword-fighting / adventure film, that's an amazing PARODY/COMEDY of the novel.
So... to me its getting 5 stars and these are too much.
