CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

mjkacsur Can you seriously not understand the difference between the two mediums of art? Books are read and movies are watched. Of course this movie isn't anything like the book. But Kevin Reynolds does a great job of pacing this movie and making it beautiful for viewing which is the point of movies. Guy Pearce gives an outstanding performance as mondego. He's slimy ( the character) not the actor. Please stop criticizing this nice movie from the standpoint of "it's not like the book" be a book critic

sergelamarche Always a good story and this cinema version is still pretty good today. Great sets, great acting, great views, great battles. This film aged well. It was the second time I saw it.

Mr. X Hollywood does not seem to understand that it isn't necessary to re-invent a classic story to keep it interesting, when the classic story has proven itself most interesting to generations of readers. This is a Disney-fied version of the Dumas story, as "improved" by Reynolds and Wolpert who are given the green-light by test audiences and studio executives to alter the original story. While one couldn't expect to compress a lengthy novel into a a few hours of film, this is a re-make for Americans who aren't literate enough to enjoy reading the book or watching an authentic European version that might require them to read subtitles.I also do not appreciate IMBd promoting this movie, (selecting it automatically without any choice having been made, from several titles about MONTE CRISTO.

sakram I tuned in this movie with no big expectations. But the strong start changed my perspective, I started to think this movie has had the potential to deliver a fine amount of entertainment, and boy did it do that ! If you think 2 hours are long for such a movie, think again !It was pretty action-packed, the story and everything, the twists, and whatnot ! I had fun sitting and watching this movie. The only letdown is that I expected the "Revenge of the Count" to be something more special, just like he mentioned (Watch the movie you'll understand). I do think this movie could've done so much better within the last 15 minutes.The fight scenes were great, and the character development was even greater ! You can sense the unique aura coming off of the protagonist.If you're into revenge stories, this is the one for you.8/10
