Once Dantès’s daft, years-in-the-making prison break gets under way, however, it’s off to the races, as the film breathlessly fills its three hours with so much domino-stacked incident that we scarcely have a moment to think about it. Go to Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian 04/11/2025

This film is a modern incarnation of an old-fashioned spectacular. It’s an absolute pleasure to watch. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) 02/11/2025
It zips by, like back-to-back episodes of prestige television. Thrilling the whole way through. Go to Full Review Clotilde Chinnici The People's Movies Aug 19
4/5
Overall, The Count of Monte Cristo is a wonderful film that can appeal to both audiences who are familiar with Dumas’ novel as well as with those who are not and are discovering this timeless story for the very first time. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ Aug 7
4/5
The storytelling is brisk and coherent, the costumes, sets and locations are all gorgeous and the cast are mostly preposterously attractive and clearly enjoying themselves immensely. Go to Full Review Alfred Castaneda Shade Studios Jul 30
