Not as great as the first part, but still a brilliant adventure film. Heston as scheming Cardinal Richelieu must be one of the best villains ever. Though I wonder how the film would be like if they hadn't split it.

Although it was shot at the same time as the first (and in fact the two films were initially intended to be one long movie), I didn't enjoy it as much. It was less fun, less funny, and less adventuresome, and it lurched awkwardly from set piece to set piece with little connecting tissue. That said, I did like the ending. The burning building was a great sequence, and the final D'Artagnan/Rochefort duel was pretty cool.

A sequel as good as the first.

I actually liked this second part more than the first one - the overall tone is darker, but still over the top.

Amusing.
