    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I can't give it any lower... an aberration of the actual novel.. to actually believe that such great actors took part in this play is also implausibe.. The story has been abbreviated by a moron and directed by a fool!!!

  • A poor adaptation of a classic

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    One of the worst adaptations of the book that I have seen. Richard Chamberlin does a poor job of portraying Dantes and so the story of merciless revenge becomes a daytime soap!

    superbly acted by the great US master Richard Chamberlain with a fab supporting cast.

    The classic story told with passion and intensity.

    Love it.

    This was a very disappointing film, which managed to miss out all the good bits from the book, and felt pointless.

    This isn't the newest or the biggest budget film version of the Count of Monte Cristo, but it doesn't need to be. The writing, acting and direction are all more than good enough to draw you into the fantasy world of the avenging Count as he rips apart the lives of those who destroyed him. Contains some moderate swashbuckling.
