Les trois mousquetaires : D'Artagnan
(2023)

This film is not perfect, but it is far superior to the 1993 and 2011 versions, as well as the BBC series.
Alexandre Dumas' book is a satire on heroism. Dumas makes a parody of chivalric romances that created heroic protagonists. In the book we have drunk protagonists, brawlers and gold diggers, looking only for personal advantages.

This film sought to portray the protagonists in a more sympathetic and positive way.

But the film deserves praise for portraying well the conflict between Catholics and Huguenots in 17th century France. While the 1993 and 2011 adaptations, in addition to the BBC series, created true fanfics about the history of France. This film was positive, at least in trying to be more faithful to the history of his country. This film deserves praise.

Montecristo
(2023)

This adaptation is an insult to the book
The development, and ending, of the entire series is an insult to Alewxandre Dumas' classic.

That adaptation along with the 2002 American version are the two worst adaptations of the book. And the film The Prisoner of Château d'If (1988) by Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich is the best version.. Viktor Avilov may not be as handsome as Willaim Levy and Jim Caviezel, but The Prisoner of Château d'If's screenplay is far superior to those two adaptations put together.

The screewriters may have tried to transport the story to the present day, but not only did they do that, they completely rewrote the story. No screenwriter is better than Alexandre Dumas.

Perhaps William Levy's fans praised the story of the series because of the author's beauty, but I want to see how they will do to praise this series, which is terrible.

The count of Monte of Monte Cristo would be a mixture of The Odyssey by Homer with Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. With the redemption of the protagonist who regrets his revenge and forgives, he has a new beginning with Haydee just as Raskonilkov had with Sonia.

The film the three musketeers by Martin Bourboulon, based on another classic by Alexandre Dumas, no matter how many defects this adaptation has, this version manages to be much better.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation
(2021)

Better than He Man from the 80s
The classic version was static characters and a single emotion and relationships that remained static, without evolution or change.

This version tried to humanize the characters and give depth.

But I expected something ripe like fate/zero.

But at least there is evolution and changes and not a static anime of characters that look like superficial puppets.
