Review of The Count of Monte-Cristo

There are several scenes that should have been re-shot. The "arrest that man" scene was done in a clumsy and fake way. The scenes in the prison were marvelous, especially after the two prisoners meet.

Overall, the movie felt rushed and incomplete. Most of the important scenes from the book were left out. Of course, the book was very long and involved and intricately woven together, and a movie of normal length really couldn't do the book justice.

Anyone who loves the book should see this movie anyway, especially for the prison scenes.
