I'll come right out and say that I enjoyed this movie. The acting was well done, the action sequences brilliantly plotted and enacted and the story was well written.
But, the director is unfortunately burdened with bringing a book to the movies that is distinctive due to its brilliant attention to detail and its phenomenal sub plots that never got lost in the main plot. The brilliance of this movie will be grossly over shadowed by the book, if one chooses to read it.
This movie will not disappoint. It is satisfying and does not take itself too seriously. But, to understand the true brilliance of the story, the full filling ends to which Edmond Dantes' is able to exact his revenge and the depth of characters present, read the book.
Happy Readings
