User Reviews: The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
A Classic Reborn, Made Just for The Younger Crowd
Pros: Great Photoghaphy
Cons: If you did not read the book, then this is the time to do it
I am very fond of the classics,yet most of the time,a great book loses something in the translation. This is not the case here,it was well told,well filmed and the characters became more three dimentional, in this version. If you like swashbuckling, and well plotted revenge tales I say by all means see this one.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThe Count of Monte Cristo
Pros: Good actors,good directing,convincing portrayals
Cons: Might be a bit too long,but not too much.
This is a moral play as so many great stories are.After being betrayed and used as a dupe--he is sent to prison.Here he is schooled by someone greater than himself and most others:another innocent man.
After much training he escapes and locates a treasure that his cell mate had mapped before his imprisonment.
He gets the treasure and begins to bait the trap that will exact vengence on his betrayers.
In the end he is faced with becoming as they are if he murders his chief betrayer.
Not to worry,his opponent is a rat and springs the trap that breaks his back.

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoAwesome!
This is a Awesome movie! I didn't want to see it @ first 'cause I had no idea what it was but my ma wanted to see it so I watched it and it WAS the bomb. I've watched it @ least 10 times, get it you'll love it! Jim Caviezel is HOT and a great actor and i can't wait to see him in Mel Gibson's 'The Passion' which also looks really sweet! ( Mel also rulez) For n e one who would like to read the book I say go ahead but don't expect it to be the same as the movie, I mean it has the same plot but there is ALOT of difference, just to let you know. But it is still a great book, a classic.

I am normally not into the historic sword fight movies, but this one was pretty good.
Good story, scenery, acting and fight scenes.
If you are looking for something a little different than machine guns, explosions, and horrible acting, give The Count a shot!Was this review helpful? Yes - Noexcellent** great actors

This movie is the best version I've ever seen. The plot line is excellent and the swordplay speaks for itself. Excellent acting. I bought the DVD before even seeing it and I wasn't disappointed!

Was this review helpful? Yes - Nogreat film for anyone
This movie has it all: a good love story, great action sequences, intriguing storyline, some humor, and great acting. The movie is TOTALLY different from the book, but I actually enjoyed the film more.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoOne of the best movies ever made.
I love the story of MC. I read the book at school and even though the movies deviates from it a bit, it is still excellent. James Caviezel is perfect for the role of Edward Dantes. Also, Guy Pierce is very convincing in his portrayal of Fernand. The cinematography is awesome and revenge is sweet. Bravo!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoDon't listen to #5, he's a LoTR fanboy.
Count of Monte Cristo is a great film, but it definately shouldn't be compared to LoTR.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoMUST WATCH
this movie is is probably one of my favorite movie and definately best revenge movie ever
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoYou will not be disappointed with this m
it is very easy to get lost in the beautiful French backdrop in this story, but the wonderful acting by Caviezel and Pearce pull you back in and you find yourself both loving and hating both of them.
Flawless shooting script coupled by the sex appeal of our hero, Dantes, makes this movie a must-see for anyone!Was this review helpful? Yes - Nothe movie sucks
the only thing i liked about this movie is that it has a very happy ending. pretty but after seening this movie i was shocked to hear it actually compared with lord of the rings. what the heck! the person who says this must go to a hospital to check on his brains!!!!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGreat Books make for Great Movies
We all knew that it would be good; we all knew what to expect, yet it kept my friends and I interested throughout.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoVery Good!
This was a very good movie. I enjoyed the acting,and the story,it kept me interested all the way through the movie. Must see.
Was this review helpful? Yes - Nodifferent, but good
Although it isn't very much like the book in some ways, the movie gives a general idea of the book in a Disney type of way. My husband didn't read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I enjoyed it too, although I liked the story better in the book, I liked James Caviezel as the main character.
