The end of "Twenty Years After" -- I loved it

I watched the finale of "Twenty Years After" (no crib, no subtitles) and I loved it! I have to say I'm pretty sure this is extremely non-canonical -- surely, surely in Dumas Mordaunt doesn't survive Athos' dagger? -- but then this is why we watch the film adaptation before rereading the book :-)

If only I'd been able to speak Russian, how my heart would have soared to see this come out back in 1992, because it was *exactly* the type of content that had filled my dreams since childhood, just as "Pirates of the Caribbean" would send me into joyous fandom in 2003. ( I get a little carried away describing the episode )

N.B. At this point YouTube has clearly decided that I am Russian, because not only is it no longer offering to translate the comments into English, thus making my life far harder, but it has now started offering to translate comments on English-language videos into Russian for me...ooops!


Objectively speaking... is this film as good (and as delightful) as the first film? ( It was worth it anyway )
