What's more overdone? The gratuitous cleavage shots or the catchphrase?

I did enjoy 'The Three Musketeers' - but boy is there a load of cleavage shoved in your face. The famous Musketeer phrase is also said a lot.

This film is a little bit of a weird one, in terms of how I feel about it. It's clearly enjoyable but I wasn't sure if it deserves the step above rating that I've given, by the end I think it just about gets there.

There is a fly in his ointment, though - the evil Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry) has seen to it that this particular militia has been disbanded in disgrace. Through a series of mishaps, he finds himself facing three duels with erstwhile musketeers - Messieurs Aramis,... read the rest.
