Movie Reviews of La Femme Musketeer
Movie Review: One more worthy of the junk pile
Summary: 1 Stars
For the most part none of the musketeer movies even come close to doing justice to the original series of books by Alexandre Dumas. Which is surprising given the fabulous potential of the oiginal material. Why the material has been bastardized to fill the egos of movie stars such as Depardieu, Irons, Di Caprio and the like beats me. Or why they would chose to demean this wonderful material to stage yet another thin, vacuous, and misleadingly moralizing "politically correct" charade to stand for women's lib. It's insulting to anyone who read these books that the greedy pinheads who infect the moviemaking industry would seek to plagiarize Dumas' work simply becase his copyrights have expired. The Lester piece with Michael York, Raquel Welch and the rest is probably as good as it gets...yet it remains at heart simply a spoof of the original story. I am hoping that one day someone will come and make a decent "Three Musketeers", not to mention bring to screen the unforgetable, poignant and exciting follow-up, "Twenty Years Later" with a middle-aged and career-stuck Artagnan, a well established and wise Athos, Porthos as a widowed baronet and Aramis as a philandering priest...not to mention the amazing revenge from the past...For the time being just read the books.
