Sweetest Thing; or, Living Well

by   BaronSamedi3 ,  Sep 9, 2005
Pros: No sappy romantic subplot
Cons: Underdeveloped characters
The Bottom Line: Revenge really is sweet.
Review: Someone once said that living well is the best revenge. Obviously the person who said that wasn’t the Count of Monte Cristo. He has a fortune worth millions, but he’s not about to let his revenge fantasies slide away on the beaches of San Diego so ...

The Bottom Line: Don't rent this movie, buy this amazing movie!
Review: This movie had it all. Swordplay, action, drama, some comedy, and great acting. It also showed how sweet revenge can be. And no one has ever got revenge better than Edmund Dantes in this film.

Pros: Better than the Original
Cons: Does not follow the book
The Bottom Line: I recommed this to anyone who longs for adventure
Review: The battered boat creaks beneath the weight of a loathsome vagabond, half starved, and staring through his tattered hair. His shredded clothing falling off his bones, as he squints at the sight of freedom; a sight he hasn't seen for 13 years. Choked with ...

A Tale of Betrayal, Injustice, and Revenge

by   silentrascal ,  Oct 5, 2002
Pros: Beautiful cinematography. Superb acting. Excellent attention to detail.
Cons: Guy Pearce' performance was a tad too over-the-top "bad guy"-ish.
The Bottom Line: Definitely recommended. Great performances, superb direction and beautiful scenery. Good action sequences, and it was never boring.
Review: This Kevin Reynolds' 2002 adaptation of the Alexander Dumas novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a moving and highly enjoyable re-telling of the tale. The acting, cinematography, and direction are excellent, and the storyline keeps moving along at a...

Cons: none
The Bottom Line: Classic remake of a great tale, beautiful scenery, good acting.
