    Count of Monte Cristo

    All I have to say is..... the book is much better. I would give it a mixed review, me and my fiance both enjoyed it...my friend and his wife both thought it sucked. That said with movie prices where they are at, I would recommend seeing it as a matinee or wait for DVD. THen again, this is only my opinion.
    Welcome my son, welcome to the machine...Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been....

    I just saw it tonight. I thought it was good. You have to see it at least once.

    I saw this a couple days ago and I thought it was really good. Quite different from the book, but still a very good movie.

    The book is much different from the movie, but I do like the new spin on things, it made the movie more enjoyable as a movie, rather than lengthy (of course a book is always better than the movie).
    Great cinematography, a definite DVD to own, I only saw the screener with boom mics dropping down in every other scene, but it was an enjoyable movie if you like the swashbuckling error a la 3 Musketeers.

    I agree with UFC on this definitely a Matinee, but a must see.
