This is a quite safe, undetailed and conventionally entertaining adaptation of the Musketeers' story directed somewhat towards young audiences. It excludes all types of mature, controversial and hard-to-interpret elements of the novel and if one claims it to be the worst film adaptation of the novel for that reason, it is in a way true. But I see it this way, it is a very pleasant experience to watch the film because it never got boring or incomprehensible. It may be called a good family movie to watch in a tired mind.
The cast is not bad. Keifer Sutherland, whom I consider as one of the most underrated actor of our time, is a good Athos. Charlie Sheen as Aramis is also fine. But Chris O'Donnell as D'Artagnan ? That was perhaps a poor choice. And I don't know, Oliver Platt is just not good enough to be Porthos. That character had more gravity.
