* {{Adorkable}}: King Louis is a massive dork, andQueen Anne.being more interested in fashion than politics doesn't help.
* AdaptationalBadass:
** D'artagnan is an excellent swordsman, but he tends to do poorly in close-quarter combat both in the novel and most adaptations. In this movie, however, he is wickedly good at that too. He even shows off some amusingly anachronistic UsefulNotes/{{Judo}} moves, including a ''tobi juji gatame'' and an ''ippon seoi nage''.
** Porthos is portrayed here as a physical powerhouse who can tear out chains off walls. Moreover, he is so skilled at improvised fighting that he doesn't even need a sword to take on swordfighters.
** Surprisingly, Richelieu himself is turned into a fighter in this movie, and a sparring scene against four guards at once implies he has little to envy to the musketeers themselves in dueling skills. It even hints he might be better at it than his enforcer Rochefort, the film's baddest fighter, given that Richeliu laughs at him for shadow-sparring alone instead of bringing in multiple opponents like him. However, in a subversion, he ends up having no real fighting scenes, instead trusting on Rochefort to do the dirty work.
** While Milady de Winter had some fight scenes in the book, she is made here a full fledged ActionGirl with ClassyCatBurglar overtones.
