In this highly entertaining, beautifully photographed rekindling of the classic French novel by Alexandre Dumas, director Kevin Reynolds choreographs a fantastic adventure replete...
more...with breathtaking scenery, fiery swashbuckling battles, lavish costumes, and, above all else, sweet revenge. In 19th-century Marseille, Edmond Dantes (Jim Caviezel) is the optimistic but uneducated son of a sea captain. He cherishes his friendship with the son of a count, Mondego (Guy Pearce), and is deeply in love with his fiancee, Mercedes (Dagmara Dominczyk). Young Dantes is so innocent and naive that it is positively shocking when Mondego turns on him, accusing him of treason, and having him sentenced to life in the dreary dungeon of Chateau D'If. Years of isolation and torture nearly defeat the revenge-thirsty Dantes, but with the help of invaluable lessons from the Abbe Faria (Richard Harris), his luck slowly changes. An incredible prison break starts Dantes on his way to a new life, and from there Reynolds' COUNT truly takes off. Battles with pirates lead to hunts for sunken ocean treasure, and soon Dantes is living in Marseille as the transformed, newly rich, self-proclaimed Count of Monte Cristo. Installed in a ritzy chateau, he slowly unfurls his excrutiatingly careful plans to exact his revenge on Mondego and all those who ever wronged him.

Full review
I recently saw The Count Of Monte Cristo at my Grandmother's house for the first time. It was the most amazing movie I have ever seen. Jim Cavizel does an amazing job and he really fits the character. He also isn't hard on the eyes. This movie is entertaining, action packed and it has an incredible plot line. I don't want to give too much away but it's a movie that almost everyone can enjoy. This movie would make a great gift for holidays or birthdays as well. I thoroughly enjoying this film and anyone else who saw it would as well. Jim Cavizel also stars in the movie Frequency with Dennis Quaid, another outstanding film with another amazing plot line.
