Review of The Three Musketeers

I have not read the novel by Alexandre Dumas père, but we all already know that this is not, and was never going to be, the most accurate adaptation of it. This is about what you'd expect Disney to release. There is humor that only a child would laugh at(which is not to say that this isn't funny at all), everything is divided into black & white(meanwhile, kudos to them for not making it look as though all religious people are bad), and history is sanitized almost beyond recognition, to preserve the so-called innocence that the majority of adults(well, in the Western world anyway) prefer to believe their off-spring possess. With that said, this is an entertaining ride. The characters could use fleshing out. Curry and, to a slightly lesser extent, Wincott, are deliciously evil, making them immensely enjoyable to watch. Tim on-screen is like those Saturday morning cartoon villains who chuckle menacingly at their own fiendish plots. Platt portrays a jerk as usual. DeMornay does what she's known for doing, if toned down what with this being a family film. Parts of this are irritating to everyone over the age of seven. The story is easy enough to follow. There is mild language and violence, and sex tends to be hinted at or vaguely referred to in dialog. I recommend this to anyone into the genres. 7/10
