Christina Newland iNews.co.uk A refreshingly modern psychological take on the classic tale of love and revenge justifies its three-hour running time. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Linda Marric HeyUGuys A masterful adaptation that stands as one of the best renditions of Dumas' work to date. This is a visually stunning adaptation, which honours the original novel but also enhances it, offering a fresh and compelling take on a timeless tale. Rated: 5/5 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) There are obvious superhero echoes around this “origins” tale, and the film-makers are smart and confident enough to amplify them. Rated: 4/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Jack Martin Film Feeder The Count of Monte Cristo is a handsomely crafted new adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas story that crams a lot into its fast-paced three-hour runtime, yet at times it still feels a bit too rushed for its own good. Rated: 3/5 Aug 31, 2024 Full Review Laura Stott The Sun (UK) An energetic script combined with big dollops of suspenseful period drama, including sword fights, shooting duals and stag hunts, keep you invested. Rated: 4/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman It’s a juicy plot and because the film takes its time setting up Danté’s wronged-man status we’re fully invested in his thirst for payback. Yet it doesn’t downplay the consequences of vengeance. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Carlo C Excelente adaptación del clásico de Dumas, con un despliegue de calidad en la producción, dirección y guión, firmas de destacarse. Esta cinta va a ganar premios no cabe duda. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Francesco T I know, this review is based on bias, but i would love to have some of the key factors accurate. Like the characters roles, or Edmond background. Really liked the production of the Musketeers but this one I think is not at the same level.
