The estimated budget of The Count is 429 million euros
Scenario
After escaping from an island prison where he spent 14 years because he was falsely accused of treason, Edmond Dantès returns as the Count of Monte Cristo to take revenge on the men who betrayed him. Monte Cristo is the most expensive French movie of 2024..
Well this is a great movie, Actors act well, scenes are well designed and music is top class
When Albert watches Hyde sing and play the guitar, it’s very clear that he doesn’t even touch the strings half the time. 13 (2024).
Some of the original characters are missing and have been grouped into a new character (Angelel)
However, for someone who has read the book before, much of the actual story isn’t just missing, it’s been heavily altered. This is frustrating, and the main reason it’s an 8 and not a 10, but I guess taking a six book story in a 3 hour shift isn’t that easy.
So if you’re not a Dumas fanatic, go watch it, you’ll have a blast!
3 hours feels like 20 minutes with good romance, great costumes, great action scenes and drama.
