  • The 2011 Paul W. S. Anderson adaptation (in 3D!), on the other hand, goes so far off the rails so fast that you see a Musketeer-ninja rock a rapid-fire crossbow and pre-Cousteau SCUBA gear I think before you even get to the title card. It’s a stupid, stupid movie and the absolute best kind of terrible, in my opinion.

    Though I will say, as I left the theater dizzied by the honest to god airship cannon battle at the end of the film, I looked up the absurd plot and character names only to find that it was significantly more true to the book in overall story arc (ignoring the, ah, embellishments) than many other adaptations have been. Huh.
