For scientific purposes

For context; me and my boyfriend had an argument about who’s sexier. For legal reasons I’m not disclosing who said who, but we want to know other’s opinion on this, so sorry about this

The Musketeers (2014-6)

Soldiers of the king fight wars, play politics, and defence the citizens of France while trying to balance the trials of life.

All of the cast suited their roles well and the main four were different enough that the kinds of back stories had some variety. Each season felt consistent but fairly different since the main villain changes with each one. The first season antagonist was the strongest, then the third although the story was divided up among several minor ones for that season, and the second one was a little too obviously untrustworthy.

Even though there was plenty of action and the sword fighting was very competent, seeing an actual swordfight isn’t especially dramatic. It’s more engaging when fire or gunpowder is used, although it makes things a little less realistic for the period. It was a shame we didn’t get to see the Cardinal’s end but the actor had to move on to other commitments.

The era felt consistent thanks to the sets and costumes which had some variety and many were rather stylish. There are some pretty good lines, mainly when the characters are outright insulting one another. The political aspects of the stories clearly had some thought go into them and there didn’t seem to be too much historical innacuracy or deviation from the source material.

Although there are only 30 episodes, the structure only has so much range considering the limited resources and plotical confinements the characters have to deal with. This makes the stories more character driven at least but most of them have plot armour since the main musketeers can’t die without ruining the experience and many of the minor characters are too nice to lose.

6/10 -Just a cut above average-

Hateration holleration:

PRISCILLA: Sofia Coppola feature adaptation of Priscilla Presley's memoir is what a British magazine I used to read would have called "a real spot-the-point exercise." It's attractively composed, but totally lacking in story, characterization, themes, or thesis. The real Priscilla executive-produced, which may be why the film has so little to say about her marrying Elvis at 17 (other than to politely observe her parents' seemingly impotent disapproval), their drug use, or either of them as people. However, that doesn't explain the blank-faced performances of Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, who seem to be in the film solely to have something on which to hang the various vintage outfits. I have no strong feelings about Elvis Presley one way or the other, but Elordi's sleepy caricature has precisely none of the sexual charisma that made the real Elvis a star. Just read a book — even the most fawning Elvis bio will have more substance than this empty film.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS PART I: D'ARTAGNAN: Given how many times the venerable Dumas classic has been filmed over the years, you'd think someone would at least occasionally do a proper job of it, but this grimy and disagreeable new French version certainly isn't it. The rolled-in-mud mise-en-scène should come with a complimentary package of Wet-Naps; the casting is lifeless and frequently inappropriate (Vincent Cassel is a somnambulistic and elderly Athos, while Éric Ruf is the dullest screen Richelieu in conscious memory); and there's a grievous lack of humor, charm, or sophistication. Worse, screenwriters Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière thought they could improve on the original Dumas plot and were sorely, sorely mistaken. The biggest problem with the book, as regards film and TV adaptations, is that there's simply too much going on even for four hours of screen time; while omitting sections of the original plot is perhaps inevitable, trying to pad it out with non-Dumas nonsense does no one any favors. This dreary and tiresome film is nearly as wrongheaded as the stupid 2011 Paul W.S. Anderson version and is no fun at all — a deadly sin when it comes to THE THREE MUSKETEERS — with few virtues beyond the frustratingly brief glimpses of Eva Green, suitably fetching as Milady de Winter (who presumably will be more prominently featured in Part II). Stick with the 1973–1974 Richard Lester movies, which also take liberties with the plot, but are actually fun, and exceptionally well-cast if inevitably very English. Even the decaffeinated 1948 American version (with Gene Kelly as D'Artagnan) is better than the new one.

So I finally finished the third season of BBC's Musketeers series and I liked it a lot and Ryan Gage as King Louis was one of my faves, I think he did a lot of wonderful work with that character, but omg *spoiler* his death scene, after 3 seasons, being him just gently coughing and keeling over just *chef's kiss* brilliant, hilarious, devastating, 10/10
