Speaking as a great fan of the book, I find the plot of the movie differs too greatly from the original text to the point that it seems an awkward pastiche of Dumas' style.

Then again, as we appear to disagree on the subject of Mr. Bale's acting abilities, perhaps we must simply agree to disagree on the subject.

Enjoy the movie in good health.
