Most probably this movie owes much to its success to TITANIC. The release dates were very close to each other and when this movie was released the Leonardo Di Caprio craze was at its best. However, this movie is great. As far as plot and intrigue are concerned it is by far better than TITANIC. Even though as history it is a joke, still it is great fun. The acting is inspired. John Malkovich and Jeremy Irons are surely at their best here. Even DiCaprio is great, showing clearly the difference between the cruel, egoistic Louis and the kind Philippe. Bravo to everyone concerned. Give us more of this please. (The editor ought to have paid a little more attention, though: Anne moves away with the rose in her hand in her last appearance. Exactly afterwards, that same rose is found on D'Artagnan's grave.)
