* AdaptationalVillainy: The Duke of Buckingham, while still technically an enemy of France, is an honorable man in the original book.

Inverted with Milady, incidentally, who was more villainous and less sympathetic than she is in the movie.

* SarcasticConfession: When the king ventures to confront Cardinal Richelieu about the rumors of his betrayal, the Cardinal sarcastically rattles off the entire list of his misdeeds and treacherous plans, spicing it up with "more festive variations" involving teaching pigs to dance and horses to fly, and hiding the moon in his robes. The king's misgivings are thus (temporarily) disarmed.

* ILikeThoseOdds: The Musketeers comment amongst themselves that five soldiers against the three of them is hardly fair. D'Artagnan, missing the point, tries to point out that there's four of them.

D'Artagnan is on his quest to becoming a musketeer. During his quest he joins the three title musketeers in their own quest to stop a plot against the young king. This adaptation greatly simplifies and alters the story.

The relationship between Athos and AntiVillain Milady de Winter is altered to make the two characters more sympathetic. [[spoiler: She helps the Musketeers by giving them the information they need to save the king]].
