The Three Musketeers: Part II - Milady

The director brings all of the threads together in a thoroughly entertaining way, while leaving enough doors open at the end to make viewers hope he returns with a third installment.

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

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.

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]

The genius adjustment to the source material by the screenwriters Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière was to forge an earthy connection between Milady and Athos...

An adventure yarn has rarely been so thoroughly satisfying...

Swashbuckling, sweeping historical action with great panache that has done quite a lot to fix the gender imbalance for today's audiences, and makes the most of the proliferation of beautiful French castles still standing

Despite the shortcomings, the film remains adventurous and briskly paced, embodying a sense of excitement throughout.

The pleasure of the film is in watching Eva Green go toe to toe with everyone in her exquisite costumes speaking French, Spanish, German, English, and Italian with ease while she dances around foolish and venal men.

Gorgeous French period epic with complicated plotting.
