    Utterly thrilling and enthralling, a commercial film that paces itself wonderfully, never allowing the action or romance to outweigh its story and characters. For mainstream adventure fare, that's quite an accomplishment.
  2. 60
    This is solid entertainment, and the time Caviezel and Pearce spent training for their sword fights pays off handsomely.

    This is the time of the year movie studios traditionally dump their mistakes into theaters -- and boy, did Disney make a whopper with The Count of Monte Cristo.

    How refreshing! A movie that actually feels like a movie ought to and cheats you out of nothing. Great performances - LOVE JB Blanc as the smuggler Luigi - need to see more of him in the movies....everyone was great though and the cinematography just shines. A lot of fun. Expand
