Editorial Review
Amazon.com
Richard Lester's 1975 sequel to his romping Three Musketeers--released the year before--reunites his swashbuckling cast for a decidedly less happy and more somber experience. This time, D'Artagnan (Michael York) and his Musketeer mentors (Richard Chamberlain, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay) have a tougher fight against their old enemies, and the adventure is not without its casualties. But the film is highly entertaining, filled with that same loony air that makes most films by Lester (How I Won the War, A Hard Day's Night, Help!) so much fun. The actors are with him every step of the way: Reed, Chamberlain, Finlay, and York are a heroic version of the Marx brothers, Raquel Welch was never better, and Charlton Heston clearly enjoys playing the evil Cardinal Richelieu. --Tom Keogh

Classic movie, 2010-08-12
I remember this movie when it came out years ago. It was funny then and it is funny now. Raquel Welch is the bomb.The costumes are incredible.

ANCHOR BAY EDITION (2003) = EXCELLENT MOVIE, but......., 2010-08-10
The 1973 & 1974 versions of The Three Musketeers are excellent fun.The movies themselves get 5 stars from me. The only reason I gave my review 4 stars(it really should be 4.5) is because of the DVD transfer itself.No closed caption? No excuse.Only MONO sound? C'mon,again no excuse.Really detracts from an otherwise first-rate DVD. The extras are great.Loved all the interviews especially with Christopher Lee and Michael York. Good DVD video quality.

The Three Buffoons Continue...Plus One More Buffoon., 2010-08-07
First of all, it was a half-baked idea to split an already horrible movie into two parts, when the original novel wasn't split into two booka. So many inconsistencies with the novel by Le Grand Dumas, it's atrocious that this movie ever got made, much like the trashy 1970 version of "Wuthering Heights" starring Timothy Dalton. Whoever hired Richard Lester (the idiot behind the stupid "Movies" "Help!" & "It's Hard Day's Night" & the utterly abominable "Superman III"; "Superman II" wasn't entirely his fault, but firing Richard Donner halfway through filming and replacing him with this moron of a director was Warner Bros.' fault) to direct and whoever hired the screenwriter should have their heads examined...seriously. Here are several of the most obvious liberties taken with the novel "Les Trois Mousquetaires." Again, there are simply too many for me to list them all.

I. D'Artagnan never has sex with either Kitty or Milady. He never has sex with Madame Bonancieux, either.

II. Rochefort isn't killed by D'Artagnan. Rochefort and D'Artagnan become friends after D'Artagnan wounds him the third time they fight (this happens in the Epilogue). D'Artagnan accidentally kills Rochefort at the end of "Vingt Ans Apres," the 2nd novel in the trilogy. The sequel to this abomination set up an inconsistency by bringing back Rochefort when it clearly states that he dies here.

III. Grimaud, Bazin & Mousqueton are omitted from the movie(s). All four had servants in the novel, not just D'Artagnan, as shown here.

IV. Constance isn't strangled by Milady, but poisoned.

V. D'Artagnan doesn't show grief when he finds Constance dead, but just walks out of the room. In the novel, D'Artagnan is utterly heart-broken when he finds Constance dying.

VI. Rochefort and Milady are not lovers in the novel.

VII. The back-story of Milady with the executioner of Bethune is omitted entirely.

VIII. The Musketeers fighting Rochefort's guards to free Constance never occurs in the novel.

IX. D'Artagnan and Rochefort never fight on ice.

X. D'Artagnan joins M. de Treville's company AFTER the siege of the bastion St. Gervais, NOT before.

XI. Lord De Winter is omitted from the novel, and his role combined with Buckingham.

XII. Felton and Milady never have sex.

XIII. Athos, Porthos & Aramis never see Constance until the carriage carrying her to the convent is passing by.

XIV. Milady wasn't executed in the day-time, but at night.

XV. Milady and Buckinghsm NEVER have sex.

AVOID this monstrosity, and view the Disney version. At least, the Disney version retains the spirit of the book. I personally don't mind libertties being taken with a novel (that's to be expected), but for a movie to deviate so broadly from the source material as this garbage did is nothing less than atrocious.

Great Classic Adventure Film, 2010-04-29
I've always enjoyed the Three and Four Musketeer films made in the '70s. To me they are the best versions of the Dumas novel made. Many films don't hold up after forty years but these are still as fresh as the day they were made! I would recommend this even over the more recent and to me cheesy Disney version that certain members of the brat pack starred in. Also this is pre CGI and all the stunts had to be done the old fashioned way, which makes this film all the more amazing.

Wonderful!, 2010-03-04
If you've never seen this version of the Three Musketeers and the Four Musketeers, then you're in for a treat. While it does have some very funny moments as well as some ridiculous incidents, it's much more serious than most of the Musketeers movies made both before and after this version. It brings to life the time, court and politics of the original books. This is probably the best adaptations of the Dumas novels on screen. The cast is stellar and everyone is perfect for their parts. See it and enjoy the world of Dumas through the glories of film. I can't think of many movie watching pleasures of action/adventure as well as politics as much as this set. Enjoy, everyone.
