The Three Musketeers

Last night, while playing FTL, which I've become mildly addicted to as a distraction from Torchlight 2, I sort of half-watched The Three Musketeers, which was released to no fanfare at all last year.



It's about as far away from the Dumas classic as you can get, a bit Baron Münchhausen really, but everyone seems to be having a great time, and it's worth watching as an instant on LoveFilm, as I did. The bad reviews slag it as not being what Dumas intended, but I think he would have loved it! This was the time of Jules Verne and writers were not as snobby as they seem to be now: if he could have got away with having airships in his books, he would have done it. A not half-bad pizza movie.
