Less interesting than the first part and it is slow. Almost no combats at all, except for the final one. The death of constance was lame rarher than sad.

In the evening after I saw the two Musketeer films I read a number of the reviews, which all presented the films as swashbuckling, boys' own adventures. But I had a rather different take on the films, which are dark—literally. With few exceptions, most of the action take place in the gloom of evening, often shrouded in mist. And the films are hardly romances: the girl D'Artagnan falls in love with is hanged, while the long-lost wife of Athos tries to kill him, and then abducts their six-year old child. There are no happy endings for our heroes. Nor are they really heroes: they are more like lunatics. In the opening scenes, all three of the original musketeers challenge D'Artagnan to duels for the smallest of imagined slights, apparently happy to kill a young man who has not even joined the musketeers at that point. Instead, all four band together to kill numerous soldiers under the command of Cardinal Richelieu, soldiers sent to arrest them wholly reasonably for the offence of duelling—and soldiers who, it should be noted, are fighting for the same king and country. There is plenty of swashbuckling, but not the kind I was expecting to enjoy, for what I saw was senseless violence, behaviour that was deeply troubling morally. Don't get me wrong: I'm generally keen on seeing Bond or Eastwood blow away the baddies, but that was not what was happening here. I make these comments not as a criticism of the films, but rather as a corrective to the reviews I had read. I am not sure what the director, Martin Bourboulon's purposes in the films is, for if they are meant to be a critique of swashbuckling, swashbuckling is nonetheless a large part of their appeal. But at some level I think the films conveys a moral murkiness as deep as the gloom in which most of the action takes place. Take for instance the central character in the second film, Milady de Winter, played superbly by Eva Green. In places, the film invites us to view her as some kind of devil, preternaturally gifted in the arts of seduction and survival. And yet her own back-story more than explains, indeed excuses, her killing of her abusive first husband, and her attempt to kill Athos near the end of the second film—for it was Athos, her second husband, who handed her over to the state for the ‘crime' of killing her first husband. Athos, who must have known that she would be hanged, does so out of a misguided sense of moral duty, as deeply flawed as the sociopathic sense of honour that leads him to issue utterly needless challenges to duels. These are fine films, built on outstanding performances from the three main protagonists (D'Artagnan, Athos & Milady). But as to their purposes, these (like Keats's ‘Grecian Urn') would seem to ‘tease us out thought'.

Like last year’s “Napoleon,” this is megaplex entertainment at its most grand.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

As yarns go, it is all comfortingly chunky and luxuriantly spun -- winter comfort viewing that treats its audience as gallantly as its heroes treat their mission, while taking itself just seriously enough.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

Eva Green has an absolutely fine time playing the badest from Alexandre Dumas to the badest badass on the planet... If what you want is ripe, overcooked action with Eva Green chewing the whole thing up, that's what you get. [Full review in Spanish]

If you haven’t seen Part I or saw it months ago, I would not recommend a journey to the theater to see Milady. But, if you have an opportunity to stream them together or in closer proximity to one another, then you might have a more positive response.

Rated: 2/4

Third Coast Review

While looping the characters’ lives into real history, the film takes the the impact of religion on the kingdom seriously, while the very real threat of British invasion looms over everything. Make more of these, s'il vous plait.

Common Sense Media

Just like in the first film, Bourboulon has created a camera technique that makes viewers feel like they're in thick of things without resorting to anything distractingly hokey or a video-game-style point of view.
