Does it have a happy ending?
As only celluloid can deliver.
Okay, put the sword away.

Review by Lyncoln ★★★★★
When greed and avarice dominate the hearts of men, they can commit the worst atrocities against other people, all for the sake of their own personal interests. The Count of Monte Cristo presents us with the story of Edmond Dantes who, after suffering a conspiracy, is unjustly arrested by three criminals who, protecting their own interests, condemned an innocent man to exile and probable imminent death. But Dante manages to escape with the "help" of a wise old man, and then plans his sweetest revenge against his evildoers, in an epic journey of revenge and redemption.
It is undoubtedly a film with many reflective, philosophical and poetic subtexts. Various themes, especially revenge, can completely blind a man who has nothing… -
Review by SebastianX ★★★★½ 4
The initial tragic portrayal of Rowland V. Lee keeps our attention until he is refined into a hero with a subtle thirst for revenge for his oppressors, until he finally comes to an end in the most exciting and enjoyable way imaginable.

Review by Cineanalyst ★★★★
Straightforward Swashbuckler
Considering the screenwriter of the dialogue, Philip Dunne, admitted to not having read the novel by Alexandre Dumas and that the only few words in the film that he attributes to Dumas aren't actually from the book--they're from the stage adaptations--it's not surprising that this "Count of Monte Cristo" isn't very faithful. Yet, it's easy to see its appeal. The novel is complex not because it's difficult to read, which it isn't, but rather due to there simply being so many characters over a multi-generational time span and the absurdly intricate revenge schemes of Edmond Dantes, a.k.a. the Count of Monte Cristo. Don't get me wrong; the prose is an amusing adventure in its own right largely because…

Review by Dale Nauertz ★★★
"Count of Monte Cristo" is the mother of all revenge stories but, being an Alexandre Dumas tale, it's so complex as to be hard to translate fully to the screen. I mean, I've never actually read it. But it looks really thick. It's one of my wife's favorite books, so I will defer to her judgment on this, and she says this was a fairly faithful adaptation. She preferred it to the one from the early 2000s which had Jim Caviezal as the titular phony, vengeance-seeking count, at the very least. So you should take her word for it. I know I will. I recall seeing the Caviezal version, but I remember almost nothing about it...except that Luis Guzman was…

Review by Neill Shaughness ★★★★½
Still the best adaptation of this story.
Every scene featuring Edmund and Mercedes together was hot as hell.

Review by Leavingfilmstrk ★★★
What was that about Louis Calhern wheeling Robert Donat around the courtroom? My favorite part.
Fun movie. Donat is good, he's always good, but there's something inherently decent and level-headed about the man that subverts the ruthlessness of his Edmond Dantes.
Watched for Mr. Donat's birthday!

Review by Jim Dooley ★★★★½ 2
This one is definitely my favorite of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO versions I have seen. Yes, there are some “convenient coincidences” and a revisionist ending that is not true to the spirit of what has gone on before. Still, it is a grand adventure story with memorable performances and dialogue that absolutely “crackles” with witty (and sometimes acerbic) double meanings.
The main Screenwriter was Philip Dunne who was responsible for some lavish epics in addition to one of my all-time favorites, THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR, and the Best Picture Award winner, HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. One of the co-Screenwriters was Director Rowland V. Lee. He helmed the “historic” Universal horror film, TOWER OF LONDON, and… -
Review by arytaco ★★★½ 2
French author Alexandre Dumas’ literary classic, The Count of Monte Cristo, is one of the most popular of its kind, transcending mere historical fiction upon its serialization beginning in 1844. Throughout its three year run, the piece became a phenomenon, which has led to its publication in virtually every language, its entry into popular culture and — of course — numerous cinematic adaptations. Its telling of sailor Edmond Dantès, a young man who is placed in prison for a political crime that he has not committed, and his acquisition of the title The Count of Monte Cristo to extract vengeance, struck a chord with readers amidst unrest in France. A twelve-hundred-page mammoth of a novel, Dumas’ epic of revenge and…

Look I get it, it’s been 20 years, but you’re telling me not ONE person recognized Dantes when he got back??
