More adventures with these four please

The Three Musketeers: Milady completes the first chapter of their adventures with another exciting story full of political intrigue and action. It comes so close to being wholly satisfying but just can't help itself so at the last minute it ends on another massive cliffhanger. With the promise of another instalment being so far away and not entirely guaranteed, it makes it harder to stomach.François Civil, Vincent Cassel, Romain Duris, and Pio Marmaï remain a wonderful core four. The witty dialogue gives them plenty of opportunities to showcase their strong chemistry and it feels like they spend a lot more time together in this one, which is a huge bonus. Eva Green was and still is perfect casting. Her enthusiasm is so visible as she revels in the villainy whilst still bringing some nuance.Martin Bourboulon's direction keeps the one takes for the majority of the action which gives all the swashbuckling a lot of energy without being hindered by obvious joins (again) and there's a generally epic feel thanks to the beautiful locations where the biggest dramatic moments take place. Guillame Roussel's score is suitably rousing with a winning commitment to making everything as serious as possible.

A bit confusing.. still ok.

Well.. Since watching the first installment I really looked forward to this. The first one was everything I could ask for from a classic swashbuckling adventure.However, this left me with a kind of unsatisfying feeling but there were a lot of positives too.The scenery and atmosphere and general is great. Everything I could ask for. And Eva Green.. What an actress she is.. I know she usually plays mysterious villains but still. She's just good.In general I enjoyed the acting as well. Maybe not great from everyone but the characters were ok.But then the plot and the climax.. I still don't know what was really going on and from what I've read I am not alone in that. I believe they changed a lot from the book as well which messed it up more than it should have (never read it but I will).I will watch it again some day though to maybe get a better understanding and possibly after reading the book to at least know the core of the story a bit better.Still watchable but could have been better.

Eva Green stands out

Part 2 of the current film adaptation is by no means a bad film, thanks to the actors, budget and, of course, the literary source material. Nevertheless, it falls well short of its predecessor, not least because of the high expectations following the first film. What's missing this time? A certain freshness, the haunting presence of the protagonists, their actually indispensable interaction, memorable climaxes. Content now rules here, almost too much for the running time, instead of fun.Eva Green gives an outstanding performance in her parade role as the femme fatale, this time making the important and correct decision that less is often more.
