Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
unbrokenmetal 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.
Kirpianuscus the fragile young lady becomes a business woman, part of politic affairs, beautiful, powerful, sentimental, looking the justice and example of high courage. nothing new. only the old traits becomes more interesting. adventure. and love. that was the source of seduction of entire series for a generation of young viewers for who Mercier was a kind of goddess. the short presence of Jean La Fontaine , the references to the Fronde are small pieces who gives some credibility to a story who has not many occasions to be realistic. but that is not a sin. because it reflects only the fictionally atmosphere of a century, lovely, cruel, mysterious, and propose a charming character who, as woman, could be more interesting for admirers of fairy tales.
monicaaina This is my most beloved movie and will always be. From the first time i have seen it when i was 13 years of age i loved it. I even read the books. This is the second movie in the series and i should say that you have to see all of them. This movie made me cry, and laugh and i recommend it for anyone who likes adventure, beauty, romance, tragedy. I don't want to spoil the story so all am going to sumorise is OK Angelique is now alone her husband has bean burned alive falsely accused of witchcraft She now is forgotten by everyone and lives with Homeless group thief's who's leader was her old friend from childhood Nicole. Hope you will take my advise and see it!!!
radlov How is it possible that no one before wrote a review of this movie and that only 11 persons voted on it? Maybe the predominantly American audience of IMDb is not much aware of French movies. French ladies (and especially young ladies!) and gentlemen, give your comments! The honor of France is at stake. The movies of the "Angelique" series are the ULTIMATE SENTIMENTAL CLOAK AND DAGGER STORY! A whole generation of French (and not only French!!) teenagers has swooned over these movies. So much adventure, splendid 17th century costumes, romantic love, faith and treason, it is all there! Of course the events often transgress the limits of what is credible, but who cares? Just don't be ashamed of enjoying these movies! And, of course, Michèle Mercier is splendid as the incredibly seductive and courageous heroine "Angelique".
