The Count of Monte Cristo

Well written story

High production values

Gorgeous French landscapes

Not a gritty reboot or modern retelling

No current year nonsense

Fully white cast

Genuinely one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long time. I didn't even notice the fact it was 3 hours long.
Hollywood, take note.
It reminds one that it's still possible to make a good blockbuster film, they just don't want to.

the count like count dracula or the amount gold? stupid fucking title

I watched it last night it was decent but not great, maybe because it was filmed during covid but their needed to be a lot more people around, also completely unnecessary plot changes, however the MC played a good Count really inspired casting

Sounds good OP, I'll check it out

Alexandre Dumas' books fucking suck, and his books were literally the capeshit of the 19th century. No thank you.

They did change some part of the original book. Him not fucking of with his daughter-wife is a bit of a shame. Especially when her actress is pretty cute. I guess the age difference and power dynamic was too much for modern audience.

What a retarded take. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's the capeshit of it's time. Contrarian faggot.

Alexandre Dumas isn't fully white though

TCoMC

not gritty

it's another "teeveeposter finds out French and assorted Southern European people aren't uber-blonde Targaryen albinos like in his nipponese animes" episode

Haydee is best girl. Pure and simple.

All white cast

Fr*nch """""people""""

yes, native europeans; all are considered "white"

anyone outside of such, no

I liked the Guy Pearce version more.

The Three Musketeers literally take on an entire army multiple times and win, and the Count of Monte Cristo is literally a rip-off of the first Iron Man movie.

are you retarded?

It was dumbed down a lot so I'm not surprised Anon Babble liked it

Fully white cast

Lead character is a Jew.

no he isn't

Sure but Auguste something something his ghostwriter was full french

What is he even counting?

The 2002 version is objectively the best and most christian version.

This. He's also an octoroon or some shit so fuck him and his discongenious family.

no its shit and misses the entire point of the story

Fuck you? It's starring the most based man in hollywood. Oh, let me guess. You're a...jew? Or something worse?

It's a Count of Monte Cristo movie that paints that romanticizes the count and pretends Edmond is still a plucky hero, not a man who sold his soul to devil for absolute revenge

Into the trash it goes.

you can stop being retarded any time now you idiot, I like Jim Clavizel too, I saw that version the the cinema, I grew up reading The Count of Monte Cristo, it is wrong and misses the point, the Count is consumed by revenge its a cautionary tale, not a redemption arc.

Dumas was half black. Just sayin’

you didn't watch it no its not that at all, its pretty damn close to what the count should be, he is consumed by revenge he doesn't renounce his vengeance he is by no means a "plucky hero"

romanticizes the count and pretends Edmond is still a plucky hero

Yes that's what we all want. A hero beating the bad guys and ending up rich with his smoking babe while his enemies are all killed or in jail. Fuck off with your le mature MoRaLlY GrEy characters

Oh you're one of those liberal guys offended by sound of freedom. Interesting.

i loved it. especially the part where the kid caps the judge

Fuck you are on, nigga?
Story is not fucking canon

no I liked that movie it was good I like pretty much everything Jim has done, that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend that count of monte cristo movie was even close to accurate you sound like a simp. I do like his performance in the movie but the movie itself doesn't get the story its hollywoodized, its not suppose to be an uplifting good guys win type of story, as I said its a cautionary tale of the dangers of being consumed by vengeance.

I was referring to the actor.

these movie has how many versions? go watch one that suites your autistic plot desires then. retard. It wouldn't be a remake if it was a 1:1 copy, no director/writer would want to copy another's work without adding his own influence

Story is not fucking canon

thank god, that's what makes it so good

read a book you faggot, its not about winning in the end (he does) its the cost of it, this movie didn't do badly in that regard, most Count of Monte Cristo movies try to have their cake and eat it too. No the entire point of the story is here is this man who is so wealthy he could have anything and he destroys his own like in pursuit of the ones who wronged him, its a fucking banger of a story but the ending is bitter sweet at best, he is left empty and unable to enjoy anything essentially he sold his soul for his vengeance.

who cares? go read a tabloid if you care about actors personal lives. You fucking woman

tbf to that anon, their are many many versions but not a single one has gotten it right.

only the absolutely worst parts of Europe are white

curious, peculiar even

if that is white than i don't care to be white and i'm german blooded. benjamin franklin had autism, now everyone is looking into his funny chart. he was also clearly an anglo supremacist. the irish, spanish, norwegians and italians are all far more pleasant people than the british. cooler history too.

Cram it swarthoid

why so sour, Nigel? Another gloomy day?

Didn't even take a week for Anon Babble to reach the same level of ignorance as before the shut down. People like you should have stayed on X, in fact kindly fuck off bad to whatever app cesspool you spawned from. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

And you fucking faggots are going about how white a particular Euro country is, what a waste of posts and IQ. Instant collapse back into faggotry, I'm very disappointed in all of you.

It's funny, this is the only adaptation that gets the Count right and the tone right, but you have to deal with the dumb sci-fi setting and CG mechs. Just can't catch a break with this one.

I'm very disappointed in all of you.

wtf bro that was uncalled for, I'm struggling to type this because I'm crying tf

I mean seriously tranime? come on now

i unironically fell asleep watching this

He was right about the W*lsh

nordics are not white

literally what was this guy smoking

opium anon he was literally smoking opium

Pleb taste

times you acted like edmond dantes irl?

I'm not going to take whiteness lessons from someone who looked like modern Chris Chan.

Now go to your room and think about what you've done!

fuck this shit, you're not even my real father I hope that when my dad gets out of prison he'll beat your ass and take mom back
