The Three Musketeers I and II (2023)

I've seen this story done so many times before but, having it be in French makes me want to watch it, Eva Green as Milady de Winter doesn't hurt either.

I'll wait and see before I form an opinion, so far I haven't been fully satisfied by any adaptation of the book. The 2-part French movie from 1961 comes the closest, so this being also French and 2-part could be a good sign.

Part one of The Three Musketeers was incroyable.  Watch it in French with English subtitles.

On Hulu the two parts are like the 1973/4 The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers. 

I missed the  humor, although I normally prefer more serious versus more comedic stories, of the earlier two movies not counting the Captain D'Artagan movie years. And the modern quick cuts and night scenes for the fights also seem sub par compared to my favorite production of the story.

While nobody can match Raquel Welch and the slapstick turn she had to do Lyna Khoudri as Constance was lovely. I had to do a double take when he appeared, I think that Éric Ruf can play Charlton Heston

I watched in French with English subtitles because I can't do dubs in any language. 

I read the books a long time ago. I think for movies you just need the characters and the political situation. 

I didn't recall the books had much of the king or them being pals with the queen, but I liked it. I liked how everyone was kind of homely too. 

I'd say the focus wasn't really on the four though. They set up for a third movie easy though. 

I also liked how you could get from Paris to London in about 90 minutes.
