I'm not one of those people who demand that a film stick as closely as possible to the source material, but this was too much. Dumas must be spinning in his grave while the viewer suffers in boredom. If it at least looked proper formally, after all the premise calls for a big costume drama, but this film looks like a pricier TV production where the filmmakers didn’t even bother with a wide-screen format. Fine, let’s forget about the poor production design, the adapted screenplay, on the other hand, that is truly awful, not to mention the unimaginative direction of Kevin Reynolds. After The Time Machine and this film, Guy Pearce is digging his professional grave. That’s too much, I need a cold towel on my forehead.
