Synopsis: The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Synopis: THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is Alexandre Dumas' classic story of an innocent man wrongly but deliberately imprisoned and his brilliant strategy for revenge against those who betrayed him. Dashing young sailor Edmond Dantes (JAMES CAVIEZEL) is a guileless and honest young man whose peaceful life and plans to marry the beautiful Mercedes (DAGMARA DOMINCZYK) are abruptly shattered when his best friend Fernand (GUY PEARCE), who wants Mercedes for himself, deceives him. He sets him up to be unlawfully sentenced to the infamous island prison of Chateau D'If. Edmond is trapped in this nightmare that lasts for thirteen years. Haunted by the baffling course his life has taken, over time everything he ever believed about right and wrong is abandoned and replaced by all-consuming thoughts of vengeance against those who betrayed him. With the help of an equally innocent fellow inmate (RICHARD HARRIS), Dantes plots and succeeds in his mission to escape from prison, whereupon he transforms himself into the mysterious and wealthy Count of Monte Cristo. With cunning ruthlessness, he cleverly insinuates himself into the French nobility and systematically destroys the men who manipulated and enslaved him.Features: The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

Awesome!
, August 4, 2003Reviewer: lemere@sbcglobal.net - See all lemere@sbcglobal.net's reviews1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this Count of Monte Cristo review helpful 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. ... -

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. ...
