The Four Musketeers (1974)

11/11: Damn.

The Four Musketeers...really? D'Artagnan had never received the honor during the middle of the entire saga but rather gotten it at the END.

Jeez, what the heck am I seeing in the film? It's all garbage to me. I admit that the plot did stay on the true path, but it has many detours which aren't one percent of what the book was about.

It also fails to depict the following virtues: honor, integrity, nobility, discretion, courage, loyalty, romance, justice, and esprit de corps. What I saw instead is a demonstration of total ineptness. Whoever made the casting decisions should never work in Hollywood again. And ditto for Richard Lester who's one of the worst directors ever. Honestly, how can anyone see D'Artagnan in Michael York? You must be joking me.

All in all, the cinematography saves The Four Musketeers from appearing in my Worst Films list.
