It is true, that this sequel cant compete with the masterpiece of the 1968 movie. But still I enjoyed it and the conclusion in the end is serious. Yes, some of the things were a bit ridiculous.

Yes, some of the things were a bit ridiculous. But still I liked, that this movie showed a bit more of the world, yet it could be more: they could show a big kingdom, who is going to a war with another kingdom, but they showed a village and a abandoned underground station.… Expand

Charlton Heston reportedly wasn't initially interested in returning for a sequel, though, to his credit, did in the end return briefly to tie up his character's loose end - and apparently even gave his fee to charity. That's why we don't see much of him here, which is a shame but given the aforementioned it came out well enough.

James Franciscus takes over from Heston and does a fine job, the latter is definitely the better of the two but Franciscus is passable. Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans and Linda Harrison do return, though the first two basically play second fiddle to others - including newcomer James Gregory's bunch of characters; Gregory is solid, fwiw. As for the film's other parts, make-up etc., it's basically the same as the original. The plot even feels similar for a fair chunk of this production, though it eventually goes its own way.

I'm even more interested to check out the subsequent sequels, given the ending to this 1970 film was apparently intended - by those on the ground, so to speak - to be the final entry; the studio evidently wasn't in agreement.… Expand
