SERIOUSLY!!

SHORT SUMMARY:

Edmond Dantes, a young and innocent sailor from Marseilles, whom after being betrayed by his jealous best friend Fernand Mondego is imprisoned in the infamous Chateau d'If. During his stay in this hardly hospitable prison—his warden whips him for each anniversary of his stay—he befriends inmate Abbe Farria who teaches him philosophy, science and the art of fencing. Before dying, the priest gives him the location of an immense treasure that Dantes recovers after a daring escape. Returning to France under the name of the lavish Count Monte Cristo, he uses his fortune to get back at those who sent him to jail and meets again with his former fiancee Mercedès now married to Mondego.

SPOILER ALERT!

Seriously I've been looking forward for this movie (before). I'm not a novel reader but I really like

how Alexander Dumas wrote his novels. It's kinda disappointing because lots of subplots from the

novel aren't present or have loose ends in the movie which doesn't give us enough time to fully enjoy

all the subtle mechanism of the count's vengeance. But still, it is a great movie and I applaud them from

being to summarize the novel to a short 2 hour movie.

To further add, I really like how the director change some of the encounters and conversations, like

Fernand and Edmund battle for the first time with the swords in the movie. That is really awesome.

And of course I like how it ends in the movie; in the novel, Fernand took his life and Edmond is alone

and never to be with Mercedes, but in the movie Fernand and Edmond had a clash in the ending and

thus resulting Fernand's Death.

I really urge you to watch this great movie even though it lacks some of the detailed tasks the count

had made.

And oh, by the way' I really liked how he flashily come to the party from a balloon and only said

"Greetings." with such a soft and cunning voice. '-'
