Valentin Z @Valaton 2d one of the worst adaptation of a great novel... the script writer confused a bad taste with original imagination... so, everything looks like a parody and joke... See more bruce F @bruce999 Aug 14 Well done drama. Almost as good as the original, with Donat. Worth watching. a love story See more Anonymous A @anonymous8185 Jun 28 A classic I’ll always love. Even with some dramatic changes from the book - I probably prefer this version more. See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 21 The Count of Monte Cristo is an incredibly satisfying revenge story. Watching Edmond Dantès transform from an idealistic young sailor into the calculating and resourceful Count is immensely rewarding. Every betrayal, setback, and victory builds toward a payoff that keeps the audience invested from beginning to end. Jim Caviezel makes Dantès easy to root for, while Guy Pearce is wonderfully ruthless as Fernand Mondego. Their rivalry drives the entire film and gives the story much of its emotional energy. Richard Harris brings wisdom and gravitas as Abbé Faria, while Luis Guzmán provides welcome humor and loyalty as Jacopo. The film blends adventure, romance, betrayal, prison escapes, treasure hunting, and revenge into an old-fashioned swashbuckling epic. While it significantly simplifies Alexandre Dumas's novel and could have spent more time on the treasure quest, the pacing remains strong, making it an endlessly entertaining and highly rewatchable adaptation.

And the actress playing Mercedes was smoking hot too! Great swashbuckling fun. See more Nikki L @Nikki204 Feb 26 One of my favourites. See more Read all reviews
