Because "palindrome" was taken.
My short review of “The Three Musketeers”.

mylife-side-b:

Good actors.

Amazing sword fights.

Cheesy/stupid futuristic weapons.

I still like the old one better. 

The airship thing is just ridiculous.

I liked it better with D’Artagnan’s dad dead…makes a more emotional story.

The ending battle was just stupid.

The way they ended the story with the cardinal was dumb.

Watchable. But def not better than the original. 

2/5 stars.

I agree, Alexandre Dumas was a horrible writer. What was he thinking, ending the story that way? Disney is clearly superior!
