Always glad to see another who appreciates the study of classic swordsmanship. I immediately got turned off from this movie from the first trailer the second I saw all the stupid wire-work acrobatics and explosions ala resident evil, when the magnificence of a rapier fight is spectacle in itself. Plus rapiers were primarily stabbing weapons with just enough edge and weight to draw blood, which made them primarily a weapon for one on one duels. They could have given D'artagnan some sort of heavy bladed weapon fitting the period like a cutlass or other saber style, if they wanted to go with heavy hitting slicing weapon, especially if he's going to take on so many people at once like an idiot. Or have moments when the musketeers train him proper rapier work. Or, I dunno, TAKE TIME IN PRODUCTION TO TEACH THE ACTOR HOW TO HANDLE THE FUCKING WEAPON!!!

Logan Lerman actually isn't bad. He just ends up in crap sometimes. If you want easy targets in regards to this movie, you've got Paul "Resident Evil" W.S. Anderson and his wife Alice, I mean, "Milady".

[@1987MartinT]

I will say that sometimes they get it right. Viggo Mortensen really impressed me with his performance as Aragon. He trained really hard in swordfighting, and used an actual full weight balanced sword instead of a lightweight replica. The fighting in Gladiator showed how deadly weapons like the Roman gladius could be in the hands of a talented fighter. Also, the 1993 version has incredible displays of rapier fencing(as well as just being a better movie than the 2013 version). The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies have a lot of demonstrations of fighters using their surroundings in combat(seriously, the fight in the smithy should be watched by a lot of fighters who don't seem to realize that the blade in their hand isn't their only weapon).

I would give the movie a pass on Milady’s Adaptational Badass parkour skills, since it’s probably down in Milla’s contract that she gets to jump and flip around for at least one or two scenes.

I'm pretty sure I heard Milady say that she passed the plans to Richelieu or something after letting Buckingham peek at them. The movie was pretty painful to watch, if only from the perspective of a history geek. It's like they didn't bother to check ANYTHING and went full tilt into portraying the pre-revolutionary France cliches... I wish they had kept closer to the book. It probably would have turned out better.

10:01 - 10:05 Well in the book Athos's Lackey Grimaud isn't allowed to with out permission speak. And if given permission once in the entire book. Athos instead used hand gestures and lip movements to communicate with him. Grimaud is actually perfectly able to speak and dose so about three times. During one scene in the book Grimaud talks without permission and Athos forces him to eat a letter. Sure he gives him some wine to wash it down with. It doesn't just stop with Grimaud. At one point in the book, Planchet acts up and asks d'Artanian for a raise. Athos, Porthos and Aramis tell d'Artanian to beat him. So he dose. And after that planchet doesn't ask for a raise again. Planchet in the book had to sleep on the floor because there was only one bed in d'Artanian's apartment. While here it looks like he has a cot. So I don't think planchet is treated worse then Grimaud was in the book

[@BessieBubbles95]

Hi :) even though sometimes I have not read the book or seen the movie that you talk about, I still watch all your book was better videos because I find them so entertaining and hilarious! :D

[@berettapaige]

Fun fact: The Three Musketeers is has the most movie adaptions of any book. Unfun fact: The Musketeer (yes, singular) is the worst adaption ever made. It is the Rose Potter of Musketeer movies. It shits on the source material. You think the anachronisms were bad in this movie? At least they fit in a weird way and don't mix martial arts in with rapiers.

[@Robi-Chaud]

I kind of like this movie. It's fun, and it was very upfront about being pretty much fan fiction rather than a true adaptation. The scene with the razor wire was unforgivably stupid, though

It's not the worst version I've seen (that would be the horrendous 1993 Brat pack version) but this pales in comparison to the classic 1948 Gene Kelly version or (my personal favorite) the two part 1973/74 Richard Lester version starring Michael York, Oliver Reed and Faye Dunaway.

[@СоняМармеладова-ч1х]

D'Artagnan et les Trois Mousquetaires (2005), directed by Pierre Aknine is also horrible. In this miniseries milady is a witch who makes a pact with the devil. The Musketeer (2001) directed and photographed by Peter Hyams is also horrible. The Musketeers by Adrian Hodges is also horrible. A fanfiction that omitted important historical facts in the book.

[@yellanaaili520]

you should do "the perks of beeing a walflower". It stars Logan Lerman and is a really good movie adaptation.

[@DisneySeeker]

How do you feel about the BBC tv series The Musketeers starring Santiago Cabrera, Tom Burke, Howard Charles, and Luke P. ? That is my favorite version.

[@ekaterinaalexandrovnashche3416]

This series is an aberration, they want to rewrite not only the book, but real life. This series is full of historical flaws.

[@fernandalimabarbosa6003]

It's also my absolute favourite adaptation, especially because it's a three-season series and not a two-hour movie. I love their characterization and the way the leads play the Musketeers. Sure, it's full of historical inconsistencies and not exactly faithful to the source material, but it delights me so much - it's a joy to watch, in my opinion. Kinda of like The Mummy (1999) in the sense that you *know* it's not supposed to be taken as a historical example, but you still have a ride watching it. Also I have a thing for all four leading men of this show. But that is irrelevant.

[@artsman412]

I like that version too! The action is great, and the characters are very engaging. They're all heavily flawed people, but at the same time they're also good people. It makes you root for them and hope they grow to be better, and most of them do.

Oh, I have an interesting classic: Gone with the wind. The romance is annoying as hell, but the characters themselves and the social commentary is worth interpreting. Sadly the movie took all the romance and left out 90% of the social commentary. Even now, I can hardly keep myself from rolling my eyes when I hear the name Ashley.

[@sarahtaylor4264]

I haven't watched the film, but I read the book. I found the romance with Ashley grating after a while and her relationship with Rhett unhealthy at best, but I LOVE the themes they developed. It made a lot of sense retrospectively why she was so attracted to each of these men. Ashely is the idyllic past she so desperately wants to cling to even though her world can never be the same after the Civil War. Rhett is her intellectual equal who can provide the financial resources and luxury she craves. He is also charismatic, a bad boy type, and lets her run her business the way she sees fit without judgement.

[@XX-dz5kc]

@@sarahtaylor4264 Yes, I agree. I prefered the book because of this. Like I said the movie focused to strongly on the romance. Though of course you should always also interpretу the social commentary. Much of it is overly romanticised and one-sided, but it makes sense considering the POV given. "The help" for example would be a good companion book for it.

i'm a dumas megafan and the most accurate adaptation ive found, both plot and characterwise, for the three musketeers, is the 1973-4 films. It's split into two: The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers, and overall follows the book very closely (while adding in some slapstick now and then which is legit p funny?) I'd recommend those ones!

[@CeltycSparrow]

Honestly, the movie version with Chris O'Donnell as D'Artagnan was better in my humble opinion. It wasn't as reliant on flashy special effects. It was just hot guys kicking ass with swords and I liked that. I also liked the king better. He was young, yes, but there was still some fire in him and he stood up to the Cardinal with authority rather than acting like a silly peacock.

[@wcapewell3089]

If you dont count the mickey mouse animated movie, this is the first musketeers film i ever saw (watched it in theatres with the family), and i really enjoyed it.

[@СоняМармеладова-ч1х]

The Three Musketeers (Три мушкетёра) produced by The Production Center of Sergei Zhigunov was closer to the book and more historically accurate. The film has been released in two versions: as a two-hour movie in cinemas and as a TV series consisting of 10 episodes of 45 minutes.

[@Chocolian]

Okay, to be fair, Logan Lerman has proven himself to be a great teenage actor with "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" (love it or hate it), and David Ayer's "Fury". And yes, they're all based on source material.

[@KrimsonRogue]

16:30 Rochefort implies that Milady gave the plans to Cardinal Richelieu around the same time they were given to Buckingham. Rochefort says: "Ah, Gascon! So you've traded up when it comes to transport. But, once again, you're outmatched. You can thank Milady for that. She passed on Buckingham's plans a long time ago. As you can see, we made some improvements. Isn't she a beauty?" The only thing that doesn't make sense is where they stored one of these airships, as Louis XIII had made it clear to Richelieu that he wanted one from the moment Buckingham arrived in Paris. It makes zero sense that they would've been able to hide it from him.

I personally liked another version of the story. I don't remember how it was called (and even then it wouldn't help because I watched it in Italian) but one scene that I always remember was Dardanian fighting against the man who had killed his father and stolen his family sword, disarming him and therefore recovering his heirloom, and then offering the sword he was using beforehand to his opponent so as to be able to continue having an honourable fight to the death. Also, there was a funny scene of the three + Dard in a tavern, discussing pick-up techniques. Atos shows off by seducing a lady with poetry, while Porthos goes right in for the kill and straight up grabbing a woman and kissing her into seduction. Dardanian then attempts to emulate Atos, but forgets the poem after the first couple lines, and so abandons that idea in favour of kissing the girl he was trying to woo. It was pretty funny.

[@sarahtaylor4264]

I enjoy the book a lot and this adaptation ended up being a guilty pleasure. Sometimes I like a mindless action flick to pass time. I liked what they did with the king and Anne. He doesn't show up much in the book (usually to bail the musketeers out because he does show blatant favoritism or antagonize the cardinal), but he is not a good guy and I am very sure he is abusive towards his wife. I could see why she had affair. If he's sweet, but just a bit awkward, then it would not make sense for her to be guilty. Please review the BBC TV series adaptation called The Musketeers (2014-2016). It stays surprisingly loyal to the book, but makes some practical and creative changes. I like most of them, especially when it comes to d' Artagnan and Constance's relationship. I love how they represented the main four and Milady. It's in line with the book for the most part, but fleshes them out more. Aramis is my favorite. He threatened several times to become a priest (which he does at the end). The series took the opportunity to see what would happen if he made good on that promise earlier. The one big issue I had was Athos' love interest at the end. I like the idea of them developing a family relationship, but I didn't want them to end up together. There is an age gap, I'm pretty sure she is underage (she ends up pregnant at the end), she hasn't been in a romantic relationship before, and it ruined her character arc a bit for me. I think the intentions were good (Athos heals from the past and finds true love), but the execution wasn't.

[@penarolbocajuniors869]

This series is just horrible. Poorly written, they replaced historical facts with an idiotic fanfic, invented a stupid romance between Queen Anne and Aramis when it would never happen in real life. And they wanted to modernize and made history anachronistic. The writing is poor and does not deserve any popularity. The 2013 Russian series is better written, more faithful to the story and the book, it deserved much more recognition than this horrible fanfic. Uznik zmaka if (1988), Soviet adaptation of the count of Monte Cristo was another excellent adaptation different from the versions of 1934, 1975 and 2002. Omitting parallel stories, but remaining close to the original ceiling in the main story.

@@penarolbocajuniors869 Thanks for the recommendation. I get that Aramais's romance wouldn't be a real thing and isn't in the book. She still did have an affair, just with a different person. I liked how they used it to develop him more. It's far from perfect, but I still enjoy BBC's take. I think the creators had the same what if questions and explored ideas I imagined as potential experiments after reading the book. Most of it paid off to me. We shall agree to disagree on this one.

"she hasn't been in a romantic relationship before, and it ruined her character arc a bit for me. I think the intentions were good (Athos heals from the past and finds true love), but the execution wasn't." ----------- Book Athos gets a son, named Raoul. However, the gender of Athos' and Sylvie's child was never revealed. Alexandre Dumas had relationships with women with age differences as married women. He even got pregnant a married woman who was 21 years more jobem than he (Anna Bauer). At least not being married will not be a problem. Her husband left Anna Bauer abandoned, she raised her son with Alexandre Dumas alone, Henry Bauer. When Haydee relates to the count of monte cristo, she had no romantic relationship before, as did the actress who plays her in the Soviet version, Nadira Mirzayeva when she becomes the film director's lover and then marries him. The director of the film leaves his wife and marries her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZulkqVmq5iLbbM Comtesse Ninon de Larroque is certainly based on Ninon de l'Enclos who was a famous courtesan who was born in 1620. In other seasons they could have used Marion de Lorme
