The Three Musketeers
release year: 1973genre: comedy/adventureviewing setting: home DVD, 5/11/99what I expected: wasn't surewhat I got: fairly funny comedic entertainment
synopsis: Those wacky musketeers are at it again, having adventures and saving the Queen's dignity in the face of the evil Cardinal.
impressions: This was a VERY light-hearted romp...it had swordfights, duels, mass battles, and all that, but the tone was light and hardly anyone died. In fact, this felt more like a pilot for a TV series. There was a good deal of comedy, too.
acting: Oliver Reed was the funniest, overall. Raquel Welch was easy on the eyes.
the good: humor, action
the bad: maybe slightly too flippant
final word: worthwhile adventure viewing, suitable for kids
rating: C+
