The Count of Monte Cristo Movie Reviews
"The Count of Monte
Cristo" by Dumas is one of my favorite books, it keeps you on your toes
the whole time, guessing what will happen next. The movie doesn't
accomplish this as well. While the book is subtle with the Count's
revenge, the movie screams for all to hear. "The Count of Monte Cristo,
formerly Edmund Dantes is going to get revenge on his friends!!!" They
left out 3 main characters, and DRASTICALLY changed the ending, they had
to, the end involves those 3 characters they left out. But I did like
the movie and if you enjoy it too I encourage you to read the book!
