Count of Monte Cristo

Pros: Performances, Action, Photography

Cons: Um, er, well...........nope.

The Bottom Line: I will have my revenge on the Bottom Line!

Review: Ah, ignorance is bliss. Well, sometimes, at least. When I recently saw The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), not only had I never seen a film version before, I didn’t even know the story, based on the famous novel penned by Alexander...

Pros: No sappy romantic subplot

Cons: Underdeveloped characters

The Bottom Line: Revenge really is sweet.

Cons: deviated some from the original, some confused accents

The Bottom Line: Excellent remake of a classic

Cons: None...

The Bottom Line: Don't rent this movie, buy this amazing movie!

The cast-

Jim Caviezel- Edmund Dantes...

The Bottom Line: A truly wonderful movie. Great Acting, Great Story, Stunning Visuals what's not to like?

Review: Set in France after Napoleon's imprisonment on the Isle of Elba, this most recent version of Dumas classic story, The Count of Monte Cristo, was very impressive from beginning to end.

The story centers around two men, Edmond Dantes and...

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 ...

Pros: Beautiful cinematography. Superb acting. Excellent attention to detail.

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.

Cons: A little too drawn out in some parts

The Bottom Line: Was VERY entertaining, great actors and great story.

Pros: Great movie keeps your attention the whole movie.

Cons: The woman in the movie,her voice is a bit annoying when she gets older.

The Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend it is a great movie, you will be missing out if you don't watch this!

Review: This movie was very different from the book which is not so unusual but it actually was very good. We watched it in the theater when it first came out. It was so packed that we had to sit in the very front with are faces upturned. I was really ticked ...
