After escaping from an island prison where he spent 14 years for being wrongly accused of treason, Edmond Dantès returns as the Count of Monte Cristo to take revenge on the men who betrayed him. Its budget is 42.9 million. The Count of Monte Cristo is the most expensive French film of 2024. When Albert watches Hydee sing and play the guitar, it is very obvious that half the time she is not even touching the strings. in La grande semaine: Episode #1.13 (2024). I was not bored once. I found inconsistencies more than once. The scenes and sets were extraordinary. The acting never pulled me out of the story, it keeps you from beginning to end. I love cinema and theatre. Le comte de Monte-Cristo I rarely find a film that at least decently depicts love, friendship, betrayal, courage, loneliness, care, revenge and much more. Nothing was in a hurry for me. The three hours were well deserved and felt like less than two. I encourage you to watch this film, it has many qualities and will not be a waste of time.
