This was almost like a steam-punked version of The Three Musketeers. It had some good elements and then there were bad ones.
Lets start with the good. The costuming in this was great. It was full of vibrant color and good costuming always pulls me into a film. There was some cool weaponry and the effects were ok. Overall, the film was well made.
The bad. They should've spent more time building up the characters. We didn't get a really good sense of who anyone was. It was like we were supposed to know who they were based on their names and a few key details.
They went a bit overboard, no pun intended, with the flying warships. For me that was just a step too far especially if you love the classic nature of the story. They also made the king look like a nincompoop. It was a bit strange how he was portrayed.
It wasn't outright awful, in my opinion, but it lacked depth and a true sense of comradery. It was a decent watch for a night on the couch but nothing I am overly impressed with.
