Wonderful big-screen cinema - The Count of Monte Cristo review by Alphaville
After the wonderful French remake of The Three Musketeers, this equally colourful old-school near-3hr adventure is the kind of epic they sadly no longer make in Hollywood. If you don’t know the story it must seem even better, although unforgivably they tell us the plot not only on the DVD sleeve but also over the DVD’s opening menu page. Even knowing the plot, this is a stirring adaptation, with less derring-do than the Musketeers but with equal grandeur, flair and visual spectacle. Good use of drone shots adds to the visual panache. The second-half plot becomes a tad unbelievable at times, but all comes together again for a rousing and touching last half-hour.
