    More of the same with this film...but it never gets boring, it just gets better and more interesting. The cast really is a classic lineup of Hollywood stars which just adds a unique one off experience not ever matched.

    Good sequel to a great movie. Well, actually it was one big movie cut into two. The actors were paid for one, so they weren't too happy at that.

    Another silly (but amusing) offering from director Richard Lester. By all means a comedy, but the characters grow on you to such an extent that you sink into depression when they are rubbed out.

    Michael York overdoes it a bit, as does Raquel Welch. Everyone else is admirable.

    Yeah these movies do Dumas's novels justice, a good follow up to its predesessor.

    Excellent sequel to the slapstick original with an all star cast and much darker tone than the original. If you like Oliver Reed in Gladiator, you'll love him in this.

    A very good sequel. A little more demure than the first, but this half of the story isn't as happy and carefree.

    This was fairly boring. Wasn't as good as the first.

    Combine this with Lester's prequel and they would still be seamless. Of course they were filmed simultaneously. I cannot imagine any reaso for re-makes after these gems.

    Brillian continuation of the 3 Musketeers.

    Spoilers contained in this review. The first outing of this was watchable enough, mostly because the actors in the musketeer roles seemed to be having a fun time and the story itself was pretty light and mildly bawdy. But this time out, the lightness and bawdiness are gone, as ...( read more)is much of the plotline. The story meanders fairly pointlessly, and the tone is unbelievably darker compared to the first. To be honest, these musketeers are not particularly successful. By the end of the movie, both the duke of Buckingham and Constance are murdered and Cardinal Richelieu remains untouched. The death of Constance especially was especially disturbing, because it made pointless the thrust of the main storyline i.e. her rescue. By the end of the movie, the musketeers have saved a total of no one except themselves. Were both movies darker in tone, it might have been forgivable, but when it seems the filmmakers' intentions were for a lighthearted swashbuckling romp, there is no excuse for it.
