What's more overdone? The gratuitous cleavage shots or the catchphrase?

I did enjoy 'The Three Musketeers' - but boy is there a load of cleavage shoved in your face. The famous Musketeer phrase is also said a lot.

This film is a little bit of a weird one, in terms of how I feel about it. It's clearly enjoyable but I wasn't sure if it deserves the step above rating that I've given, by the end I think it just about gets there. I like the plot, the locations and pacing, but it took a relative while for the cast to grow on me.

Chris O'Donnell (D'Artagnan) and Oliver Platt (Porthos) would be my standouts, I liked both of them pretty much from the beginning; it's my first time seeing O'Donnell, away from his 'Batman' appearances, though have seen Platt a number of times.

Charlie Sheen (Aramis) and Kiefer Sutherland (Athos) are the ones who don't work amazingly in my opinion. I don't love their acting styles here, while I didn't sense enough chemistry between the two - and Platt, for that matter.

Tim Curry, meanwhile, is always hit-and-miss to me - not helped by the fact that 'Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties' is my biggest memory of him, I'm constantly hearing Prince XII whenever he talks - my apologies, Mr. Curry.

Lastly for the cast, it's also interesting (for me) seeing Paul McGann involved - I've very recently become aware of him through television's 'Luther'. Funny ol' world.

Sorry for the few tangents there. My final thoughts on this film: It's entertaining. Worth a watch.
