A VERY abridged and altered Count of Monte Cristo!Feb 09, 2010 Why is it that so many filmmakers believe that they can improve upon classic novels by changing them? Such conceit rarely results in a movie that is a credit to the novel upon which it is based, few surpass the original, and this is certainly no exception. Jim Caviezel is certainly eye candy in this movie, and if you are interested in that, or in seeing a VERY YOUNG Henry Cavill (of the Tudors), then by all means buy this movie. However, if you want to enjoy "The Count of Monte Cristo," slog through the book. This is NO substitute. Most of the plot has been stripped away, and that which remains has been altered beyond recognition.
Great MovieFeb 03, 2010 Great Movie I recommend to anyone to watch it....original movie, excellent condition..and on time shipping..
Great movie based on a great book!Jan 31, 2010 This is a very complex book that encompasses many years. The movie did a very good job of keying in on the events that allows someone who never read the book to understand the characters, situation and message. One of mine and my husband's favorites (book and movie).

God give me Justice!Jan 07, 2010 One of my favorite movies of all time. James Caviezel is excellent in his role as the count. Set on revenge for a serious injustice he ends up with some good fortune that runs his way while in prison. Sets the rest of the movie to plot against the very men that caused his demise. Great Movie!
