Albert watches Hydee sing and play the guitar obvious that she isn’t even touching the strings half the time..

Not once was I bored

Featured in The Big Week: Episode #1.13 (2024). Not once did I find inconsistencies.

The scenery and sets were to notch

The acting never pulled me out of the story, it keeps you there from start to finish.French cinema produces a lot of forgettable movies (in my opinion), a lot of fun ones, some greats and here and there a movie that actually makes i love cinema and theater. The Count of Monte-Cristo is of the latter.Rarely do I find a movie that depicts love, friendship, betrayal, courage, loneliness, caring, revenge, and much more, in at least a decent manner.

Nothing felt rushed to me

The three hours were deserved and it felt like less than two.I encourage you to watch this movie, it has many qualities and it won't be a waste of time.Now if you are a Dumas enthusiast, your opinion will certainly differ.
