Scenario

After escaping from an island prison where he spent 14 years on false charges of treason, Edmond Dantès returns as the Count of Monte Cristo to seek revenge on the men who betrayed him. With an estimated budget of €۴۲.۹ million, The Count of Monte Cristo is the most expensive French film of 2024. Watching Albert Hydee sing and play the guitar, it is very obvious that she is not even touching the strings half the time.

Dumas was a genius

۱.۱۳ (۲۰۲۴). I consider myself a fan of the book, which is absolutely great, and would recommend everyone to read it. It is true that there were many cuts and changes made in the film that I don’t agree with and that made me angry, just like other critics have said…

and the sets are spectacular

I don’t like that we are not shown in detail what a great and good person Edmond is, how much he has to suffer, which makes the story and his dilemma with revenge much deeper and more poignant, and I also didn’t like how they changed the ending with Haydee. But other than that, I was able to enjoy the film and at the end I had tears in my eyes. The film is beautiful to look at, the cinematography, the clothes…

I recommend it to everyone

The actors are also very good. The story will move you even if your heart is made of stone. The overall result is 3 hours of pure thrill and entertainment.
