The Count of Monte Cristo Ratings & Reviews
- neuroparadoxJuly 24, 2025Last movie of 2024 (for me) and it's a banger! Love this story 💕💕💕 So much so that I'll probably watch the anime version next, Gankutsuou.... Not to mention the new 8 hour mini-series that just dropped 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎩
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025This certainly has the benefit of being an adaptation of the greatest revenge fantasy story ever told. Wrongfully accused, sent off to prison and the love of your life stolen away from you only to stumble upon the greatest cache of F🤩k You Money ever so that you can meticulously plan the most elaborate and exacting revenge on your enemies possible. The story never gets old and I loved this adaptation from the opening frames. The depiction of the shipwreck completely grabs your attention and the production and cinematography are pretty stellar throughout. Even at 3 hours, the film zips along at a brisk pace that you never really feel the length. Wish I had made the effort to catch this in cinemas. My kids really can’t sit through a 3 hour subtitled film yet but this does kind of make want to make them.
- JkrilinJanuary 1, 2025This adaptation of the classic work The Count of Monte Cristo immerses us in an intense story of betrayal, revenge and redemption. Edmond Dantès, played with great charisma, takes us on a journey full of unexpected twists, where the desire for justice is mixed with the internal struggle to not get lost in the darkness. The landscapes and settings transport the viewer to the 19th century, while the performances manage to convey all the pain, anger and hope of the protagonist. The series manages to maintain interest from beginning to end, ideal for lovers of stories of overcoming and revenge. What would you do if you had the opportunity to take revenge on those who betrayed you?
- Ashish DdaviddApril 10, 20253 hours justified.
- Tom CooperMay 16, 2025I'm glad to see people still can make great epic films like this. Far superior to the American version. Excellent acting, pacing, writing, cinematography, sound, directing and story. You might think 3 hours is too long, I say not quite long enough!
- marcelpierre.sJune 15, 2025Great movie! Watched it with the wife and enjoyed it
- Junior ReyesMay 31, 2025Wow! I've had this one on my radar for a while. I didn't want to watch it because I knew it wouldn't be the same as the original novel. But I wasn't disappointed. This was a modern classic. I really enjoyed this interpretation! Bravo! 😎👍
- xfczk8January 22, 2025A cinematic gift!!! One of the best films ever made!!! Pierre Niney is incomparable - terrific entertainment.
- PatrikStarJune 11, 2025Proof that digging your way out beats therapy.
- MigentoMarch 30, 2025Why did they ruin the Count of Monte Cristo?
- eif999February 3, 2025Gosh they haven’t figured out how to screw up Count of Monte Cristo yet have they? This one is as epic and lush as any of the previous versions. The lead is appropriately intense with expressive eyes and all the supporting players shine. I liked that they leaned a bit more into the big con instead of the prison escape which is still my fav bit of the story. The novel which yes I read is a million pages so you do have to admire how well this one got it down to a swashbuckling exciting three hours. The wooden masks were hard to accept. I mean no one would ever fall for such a mask would they? Overall this might be the best film version of the much told tale. This viewer mistakenly watched it in Italian with English subtitles and you cannot tell that the movie is actually in French.
