D'Artagnan (Michael York) joins Athos (Oliver Reed), Porthos (Frank Finlay), and Aramis (Richard Chamberlain). It's the Anglo-French War (1627-29). They have to rescue kidnapped Constance de Bonancieux (Raquel Welch), dressmaker to Queen Anne (Geraldine Chaplin), from Rochefort (Christopher Lee) under the influence of Cardinal Richelieu (Charlton Heston). The Cardinal also uses the evil Milady (Faye Dunaway) who has a past with the musketeers.
This is a sequel to The Three Musketeers (1973). It's a good size production. It's swashbuckling and wants to be fun. The first part is well-fulfilled but I don't feel the second part is always there. Sometimes, the comedy does come through like the battle. There isn't a natural comedian amongst the leads. Oliver Reed is probably the most fun. As for the ending, I can't believe that the movie has that murder. It was brutal and unexpected. I don't really like it but I can respect it.
