The book is a classic of world literature and one of the works which will be adapted time after time. It is a timeless story. This movie version has a great cast of actors, good humor and of cause transfers the story really well. It is the story of the young D’Artagnan who travels to Paris to fulfill his dream in becoming a musketeer. Because he makes some stupid mistakes early on he makes acquaintance with 3 musketeers and together they got drawn into an adventure that is far bigger than they imagine. The story is widely know and entertaining. It is well made into the movie and works from start to finish. I think this is even my favorite adaptation so far. A strength is the great cast with a lot of famous actors. We have Michael York as D’Artagnan, Richard Chamberlain as Aramis, Oliver Reed as Athos and Frank Finlay as Porthos for the musketeers. But it ends not here as we have also Charlton Heston as Cardinal Richelieu, Christopher Lee as Count de Rochefort, Geraldine Chaplin as Queene Anne and Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter to name a few. I think this is nearly an all star cast and all actors deliver a really good performance. This makes the movie really good and I should praise director Richard Lester too. Without a good director the best cast can be not enough. I was always invested into the characters and they did entertain me well. This is a hallmark of a good movie. Other than that the sets and costumes look convincing for its time and the fights are immersive. I must also praise the humor which works well. Overall I see this as best adaptation of “The Three Musketeers” and recommend it. Expand
