As someone who has no depth persception and does fencing, yes it is possible to fence without it but it is harder, if the character lost an eye in battle he could easily relearn how to fence and work around the lose of an eye. So making that character only have one eye isn't entirely unrealistic, it would be more unrealistic though if the eye they lost was the same side as their sword hand (i couldn't ever fight left handed only using my right eye, it would be nearly impossible to hit anything and something that annoys me in many films).

I was seven when I first watched these movies and I cried so hard when Constance died. My biggest criticism is the bad Foley work.

Despite your feelings about the comedic tone in the 70s movies, they're certainly the most accurate of this list of adaptations. Honestly I think the slapstick only gets in the way concerning Constance. Athos and Aramis, Rochefort and Richelieu are handled mostly seriously. I think if we could Frankenstein the 40s and 70s adaptations together, we'd have the best version. Honestly however anybody feels about any adaptations, we can probably all agree that Oliver Reed is the best version of Athos.

If we acknowledge there are a range of French accents it still means using UK and US accents corresponds in French to Metropolitan French accents and Québécois. That seems slightly too divergent. Even in an English based story (say something by Jane Austin ) every time someone pops up with an US accents it turns the show into an episode of Charmed.

I personally have a huge fondness for Dogtanian. It is decently book accurate to the overall events, and with it being a kids show (with a very, very hacked down movie release) it changes the titular main characters into something more heroic and likeable. The Return of Dogtanian is also a great series, that looks at adapting other books by Dumas, through the lenses of the 3 Musketeers characters. Thanks to growing up with it, I don’t think that there will be any way for me to not see it as the definitive version. So much love here for a bunch of anthropomorphic animals acting like French soldiers.

I am from Estonia and this has had several runs through ourTV. When it came i taped it on VHS, now i have the dvd as well as youtube videos to go through!!!

I figured from the music that he was hinting at "D'Artanyan i Tri Mushketera". I've heard cool things about it, but since I don't speak Russian, I've never seen it. I doubt it would ever be translated either, simply because translating a three-part musical from Russian of a French story into English is just too ridiculous to get funded. Personally, I'm hoping that it's actually "Les Quatre Charlots-Mousquetaires", as it would at least have French accents. :-)

d'Artagnon was so famous he appears in Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. My favorite adaptation by far is Richard Lester's. The radical tonal shifts you talk about are there in the novel, aren't they? Perfectly cast. The costumes are chef's kiss. The rapier swordfights are the best ever filmed. In the dark with lanterns. In a burning church. There's even one on ice. And I am AMAZED to find out Milady's ambush by Native Americans is not in the novel. It is such a bizarre scene to include otherwise. Speaking of Cyrano, there are at least two adaptations.

THE BBC TV SHOW THE MUSKETEERS IS SOOOO GOOD - makes them flawed and shitty at times while still making them actually likeable and able to be rooted for, and since it’s a 3 season show they expand on the plots and change things very cleverly to make it more interesting and complicated. Remains very accurate to the characterisations in the book while shifting things enough that you don’t literally just hate them

My thought on seeing Tim Curry as Richelieu was: "What crazy bastard took a scene-stealer like Tim Curry and thought 'let's make him a _even more visible_ - have him wear an enormous red cloak'?" Three sure-fire ways to ensure you make everything and everyone around you pale to insignificance: 1) Wear bright red 2) Wear a long cape 3) Be Tim Curry Do *all three* and it's "hold on... there were _other people_ in this movie?"

Otherwise still a kid show and D'Artagnan is a destined airhead. kzbin.info/aero/PLTBZemI3Twz3jk-ydRDJ6IQ5m6Bx7JaDC

There was also an anime made years ago, Anime SanJuushi. They kept some elements from all three books (the meeting with the musketeers, the duel, the mission for the jewels, the Iron Mask, etc.) but also changed some things, like Aramis being a woman disguised as a man to avenge her dead lover. May sounds silly said like that but oh my god, it's the best thing in the whole series!! And made her the most fascinating and popular character by far. Apparently Dumas wanted to do that in his book but the editor opposed the idea.

Nobody's ever surpassed the 70s versions. Practically every actor and actress in them are of legendary status, and the films themselves just so much fun and perfectly paced. They've also aged extremely well in terms of production design and cinematography. Aside from Tim Curry and Michael Wincott, none of the actors in the '93 version are worthy of hand-washing the skidmarks on their predecessors' underwear, and none of the actors in the 2011 version except Christoph Waltz are worthy of doing the same for the cast of the '93 version. I mean FFS, it has James fucking Corden in it, truly the kiss of death for any film. Talk about the descent of man.

As a kid I had an ilustrated Three Musketeers child's book and I loved it. Then I saw Cantinflas version and the Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds cartoon, and I was hooked. Afterwards I was taken to the cinema to see the 1993 version, and I remember returning from the theater all excited and grabing the paperback I had been gifted by an older cousin some months ago. That was the very first "adult's book" I remember reading from cover to cover, and at the time I found it amazing and so intense. (I was eleven at the time.) I have been a huge fan of swashbuckling adventuring ever since, and some time later I read Twenty Years After and (some 4 years later) I eventually finished The Vicomte of Bragelonne. But perhaps it's time for me to re-read the original again, now fully able to grasp so many things you described that I certainly don't even remember reading (or understanding) as a kid. (I do remember vividly that the fact that the executioner turned out to have also suffered a personal tragedy on Milady's hands came out of nowhere, and I even checked that I had not accidentally skipped some pages or somerhing.)

Absolutely correct on the Gene Kelly one.

I very quickly stopped judging it as an adaptation of the book, which it clearly was in only the loosest sense possible, but I thoroughly enjoyed it as a silly, rollicking, swashbuckling adventure and for what Chris O'Donnell and Kiefer Sutherland did to my raging teenage hormones. Two thumbs up. I've refused to watch it ever since my brain finished developing, though, as I'm afraid of spoiling the memory for myself.
