Watched The Four Musketeers:Milady's Revenge an amazing Performance by Michael York(Romeo And Juliet) as d'Artagnan, Oliver Reed(Revolver) as Athos , Frank Finlay(Othello) as Porthos,Richard Chamberlain(Dr.Kildare) as Aramis, Simon Ward(Young Winston) as The Duke Of Buckingham , Raquel Welch(One Million Years B.C. )as Constance Bonacieux ,Faye Dunaway(Bonnie And Clyde) as Milady De Winter, Christopher Lee(Dracula) as Count De Rochefort and Oscar Winner Charlton Heston(Ben-Hur) as Cardinal Richelieu . I really enjoyed The Characters this time around as they where also this was much Darker than the first and certain characters bit it but it was good higher stakes.Great Costume Design By Yvonne Blake(The Last Valley) , Score By Lalo Schifrin( Charley Varrick),Cinematography By David Watkin(The Homecoming) and Direction By Richard Lester(The Mouse On The Moon) A Great but Darker Sequel The Musketeers 8/10
Richard Lester's adaptation of Dumas' literary masterpiece is simply terrific, and for me the definitive version. This sequel while not quite as good is still excellent and one of the better follow-ups out there. The film is not as efficiently paced as its predecessor, but so much compensates. The cinematography, costumes and scenery are all very lavish and beautiful and there is also a rousing and energetic score to compliment. The script is witty, the story is compelling and maintains the 1973 film's spirit and the sword-play and action while slightly more slapsticky is exciting. Plus the direction is great. The cast also give it their all- Michael York is spirited and likable, Oliver Reed once again comes very close to stealing the film, Fay Dunnaway is still beautiful and haunting, Charlton Heston is calculated and imposing and Christopher Lee is simply brilliant as Rochefort. All in all, very good and if you watch this and The Three Muskerteers head to head, you're in for a great time I assure you. 8/10 Bethany Cox
"The Three Musketeers" continues in this cobbled sequel, created as a cost measure for garnishing more profits from a single shoot.And this is the film's only real drawback. A distinct lack of coverage cuts into this film's otherwise fine pedigree, and instead of a fun, adventurous and humorous swashbuckler with dramatic overtones, we're given a film that, in spite of its great technical achievements, feels like it came out of the oven too soon.Most of us know the story of why, so I won't repeat it here in this review, but it's regrettable that the short sighted economics dictated the final cut of a film. A lack of cutaways, a new music director whose style is distinctly different from the original score, and some uncorrected shots, leaves "The Four Musketeers" falling a notch or two below its older brother.But, even so, the film is still entertaining. For all of its flaws and checkered history, the cinematic qualities that were achieved in this film's predecessor, are still found here for the most part. Dramatically the actors are left without a route to create something knew for the characters, and the plot plods somewhat from event-first to event-final. But the actors are able to sell it otherwise.The action scenes are fine, but again the epic scenes are truncated, leaving the audience only a taste of what might have been. And that's probably how best to describe the impromptu sequel to "The Three Muketeers". The action scenes are what they are; good in some areas, adequate in others.Anchor Bay's DVD, for some reason, doesn't include the French opening credits, but the extras and color corrected and digitally mastered DVD for both musketeer films is a welcome addition to anyone's library.In short, the second film is not quite as good as the first film, but is still very entertaining, and, in this way, still a very magnificent piece of cinema. Enjoy!p.s. the Anchor Bay edition DVD corrects the washed out copy I saw in the theatre 30 years ago. Thanks Anchor Bay.
This sequel sets the standard for sequels being inferior to the original. Aside from some interesting camera angles, Ms. Welch's clevage, and some pretty scenery, this movie is just a collection of oh so clever scenes.It's a waste of time.
