Three Musketeers
Oct. 16th, 2011 05:33 pmI just saw The Three Musketeers. It follows the book only in broad outline, follows history barely at all, and never pays more than lip service to plausibility and sense. It's a film that really needs to be watched at home, with a group of friends all prepared to heckle outrageously. However, despite all this, I enjoyed it very much indeed. I might even go and see it again. We chose the 2D version, mostly because the time of the showing was more convenient, but also because we were both rather "meh" about the only other 3D film we've seen (Toy Story 3). However, the picture quality was really rather bad, frequently looking out of focus. I'd be interested in seeing the 3D version fairly soon, so I can compare and find out which one I prefer. But even with the poor picture quality, the film cheered me up no end. I was feeling tired and achey and under the weather, and now I'm bouncy and happy and want to go into the garden and hit Pellinor with rubber swords.
