Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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

This movie is excellent. The Four Musketeers, along with the first movie, are the only movie versions that are remotely accurate to Alexandre Dumas's masterpiece novel, The Three Musketeers.The action and sword fighting in this film are great. They only add to a great story, and don't try to make up for a poor one.The only drawback is the portrayal of Raquel Welch's character, Constance. In the movie, she is too clumsy and ditsy. Constance is supposed to be smarter.Overall, I thought this film was great. I would recommend reading the book. However, if you hate reading, then you should watch this movie, along with the Three Musketeers, because they are the closest to the book. The Four Musketeers shows that it is possible to make a version of the Three Musketeers that's accurate to the book and still enjoyable to watch.

Raquel Welch, Richard Chamberlain, Michael York, Geraldine Chaplin, Faye Dunaway, Charlton Heston, boy oh boy what a shining list of major stars of the 70's. The movie attracts my attention first because of the most-read French story, second the cast is absolutely another one. The chivalry tale is always the love of the directors and we have about 20 productions bearing the same name within the short movie history. The Spanish setting e.g. the fight in the old church is marvellous, I guess filming in Spain at that time didn't cost too much. Just look at the scheming and wicked black female spider Faye Dunaway is already a pure and high entertainment, and Michael York then looked really innocent and like loverboy.

FINALLY...a DVD release called 'The Complete Musketeers' that does justice to a proper transfer, in widescreen and looking better than when I saw it in the theater.Watching 'The Three Musketeers' without seeing the 'The Four...' is like reading the Alexander Dumas novel; and stopping halfway through. It's a shame that it wasn't released as a roadshow 3 and a half hour film because that was the way it was originally meant to be experienced.Phenomenal DVD package that contains both films...just the way it should be. And some very informative documentaries with the surviving cast.9 out of 10! (Same as my rating for 'Three Musketeers')
