COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great Movie submitted by jarroyo on June 19, 2013, 6:09pm This is a really good movie. Good acting and good story. I really like it.

Rest in peace Richard Harris! !! submitted by Kikumatsu97 on July 6, 2015, 5:09pm This is such a dramatic and exciting movie, you're made to feel so connected to the protagonist and yet it's a pitiful state of revenge he suffers from and you sort of loathe Edmond Dantes for not curing and running with all of his wealth. Such an adventure story! !! Richard Harris summons the best of his acting skills for this part and I love him! !!

Great if you don't compare it to the book submitted by ash_cash on July 13, 2023, 10:15pm A romantic and simplified interpretation of the book that gives a more satisfying ending for those who like things tied up with a bow. Enjoyable and fun.
