I didn't think you could get that far from the book

I have a fondness for campy movies. My love of the Fifth Element totally proves that. :) Anyway, I recently watched the 2011 version of The Three Musketeers. Wow! I so wasn't prepared for that. I had thought that the 1994 version had gotten as far away from the original plot as possible, but really? This one blew it away! It was so over the top it wasn't even enjoyable anymore. I think I would have been happier with the movie if they had just called The King's Spies or something and hadn't even pretended it was an adaption. One of the worst parts? Realizing that Andrew Davies had a part in it. Normally he does fabulous adaptions. So not this time.
