Critic Reviews for The Count of Monte Cristo
All Critics (143) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (105) | Rotten (38) | DVD (13)
A thoroughly enjoyable movie for older kids.
A preposterous, expansive and self-conscious attempt to resurrect the historical spectacular.
A big, vacuous, sometimes exciting glamour-puss of a movie.
The best swashbuckler since The Mask of Zorro.
Dumas's classic tale is such a rattling good yarn, there's nothing you can do to derail it as it hurtles down the track.
Reynolds' remake brings nothing new to the table, but it's still an enjoyable throwback to the swashbucklers of old.
Audience Reviews for The Count of Monte Cristo
Dumas' classic adventure tale of revenge gets reheated yet again and still it's good. It literally never gets old. What's best about this version is the feeling of easy camaraderie developed by the two leads (Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce) early on that lays the groundwork for the later betrayal, it gives the accompanying proceedings more weight. While perhaps not as rousing as one expects still a decent addition to the large family of Monte Cristo adaptations.

The 2002 adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' book is remarkable nonetheless. The splendid and grandeur presentation as well as its climatic scenes were entertaining. Although it doesn't heighten and raise the artfulness to new levels, it is still solid enough to win most of its audience. 3.5/5
