    Amazing epic classic! Wonderful movie of freedom, love, and revenge. A definite must-see if you've got a few hours... Pack a lunch.

    It was so like the book and I absolutely love Gerard Depardieu's work and he fit perfectly for the role of Edmond Dantes. Also, Dumas is my fav. author and seeing one of his most famous works come to life was amazing.

    Captures the spirit of Monte Cristo a bit better than the Hollywood version. Memorable characters and events.

    They have this version at the library, although unfortunately it is express view only--three days out and no holds......

    This - though subtitled - is much much more true to the book, thorough and entertaining than the american made version.

    Much better than the newer version, actually followed the story, helped by the fact that it is a mini-series.

    Oooh this sounds really good. I've heard good things about the story. Gerard Depardieu is such a wonderful actor. Would love to see this.

    I watched this movie for history and I'm sad to say that I barely paid any attention to it. What I actually did see has made me want to see it again.

    Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...

    This is an intriguing tale!
    downside- it's all spoken in french and subtitles get annoying.
    (Plus the movies 6 hrs long!!)

    Standard rehash of the old classic. Some good acting here, but it still looks like we've seen this a hundred times already.

    This movie is awesome. I don't understand how some people can't enjoy it. I also don't understand why people are still watching 2 Fast 2 Furious, Seriously; throw that shit away.
