Many plots

For those who have not read the books, second movie of the Angelique story could be a confusing one. I admit I would have been: so many things are going on, one after another and one could easily lost track of the time hat has passed between each of them. Fortunately there is help provided, at least at one time, where one could see what year is. They could have easily make two movies out of this one to show gradually and slowly how all came to be but, I guess, that was out of the question. :) But don't let that keep you away away from watching it :). One thing that has not change, from my point of view, from the first movie is acting of Michele aka Angelique; in certain scenes she gets it right, but in others she can not produce intensity, determination of Angelique from the books. But her beauty makes up for everything :) I love Rochefort as Desgrez, he is just awesome and that is how I have imagined him to be. In lees than an hour, third movies will be on TV. Can't wait! :)

Angélique 2: Chocolate and conspiracy

The second part of the costume drama shows Angélique (Michèle Mercier) on a course for revenge. First she has the monk killed who had accused her former husband of sorcery. After some adventures with the bandits of Nicolas (Giuliano Gemma), she makes the acquaintance of a young poet (Jean-Louis Trintignant). Attempting to restore her former rank, the ex-countess becomes a successful business woman, introducing a trendy drink called chocolate to the public. But when she gets closer to the king, she finds out that the former conspirators against his majesty are still powerful. Her best defense might be a new marriage, but her intended husband is not willing to propose it...I liked the sequel less than the first movie, because that one had developed the story carefully, while the sequel is a bit rushed and the characters seem to change spontaneously, whatever he script demands. Angélique falls in and out of love every day with a different guy, it seems, and her two children are treated a bit careless as well by the writers. Still good entertainment, though, because we get good action scenes with the bandits, funny moments for example with the captain of the guard, great actors anyway. I voted 8/6/7/6/6 for the 5 movies of the series.
