 Lame and embarrassing third sequel to two great movies August 19, 1999
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
The first two entries in this series, the 1970's "Three Musketeers" and "Four Musketeers," were probably the best movie versions of Dumas that will ever be made. This third segment has all the right elements -- same cast, same director, same script writer. But the story never comes alive. A few short sequences have the old magic -- especially Oliver Reed's reaction to the execution of Charles I -- but mostly it flails around in a series of pointless stunts and fat jokes. Aramis' defection from the team has no emotional impact -- compare it to D'Artagnan changing sides in "The Man in the Iron Mask." It's obviously just something they did because they couldn't afford Richard Chamberlain for as many shooting days as the other actors. Skip this movie, and re-watch the other ones in the same series instead.
 The old formula still works. March 3, 2000

WHile not on the same level as the first two Musketeer movies made by Richard Lester, the Return of the Musketeers is still a great movie. Nearly all the original cast are together again and the magic is still there. This sort of comedy/swashbuckler seems to have been forgotten a bit nowadays ( The Mark of Zoro has some of the ingredients, but leans more to the adventure side ) Somewhat loosely based on Dumas' The Musketeers: Twenty years later, the Return of the Musketeers sports a female swordslinger in Lady the Winter's daughter, who's lust for revenge brings the four Musketeers together again. They should be greatful! It even leaves the suggestion of a sequel, since the villainess escapes in the end, but no further movies were made. On the whole: a movie that is fun to watch, just don't take it seriously.
A swashbuckling good time, monsieur. August 5, 1999

This is an entertaining sequel to the two musketeers films of the '70s. Not as good as the first one (hard to top), but still fun and the cast still looks great. Does Michael York ever age? Could Oliver Reed be any cooler? The assault on the castle (via hot air balloon) toward the end of the film is the highlight. The music accompanies the film well and the main theme is thrilling. If you liked the first two, you might want to pony up the dough and buy this one.
Worth renting or buying when the price drops May 14, 1999

This does not live up to the Salkind-directed predecessors, but it's still an entertaining film. It is also the only English language version of Dumas's "20 Years After" that I have ever encountered. Seeing Oliver Reed reprise his role is worth rental price.

It was good to see the 'boys' in action again. The 'twist' of Athos and Arimis not trusting d'Artagnan was good. Otherwise, most of it was boring. I loved the 3 and 4 Musketeers, the 3 being my favorite.
