Hmm. Yeah, well I was hoping it would be a little closer to the novel...at least what with the various interviews I had read. But I figured we'd be getting an overblown action movie. I don't mind adding a bit of flair, but come on, they're taking on forty guys? That's the kind of thing I hate about action movies like that. When you see four people taking on forty men easily, there's no sense of danger or suspense.
I do agree that the trio (Aramis, Athos, and Porthos) look to be spot-on in terms of characterization. I'm glad they finally cast a physically large Porthos, because he was always described as a large man in the books, and they've never really captured that well until this movie.
Still, I wish they had kept it closer to the novel with a few added touches here and there. Oh well. I'll still see it. If it's going to be it's own thing, hopefully it's at least good at what it does.
