3.0 out of 5 stars Depardieu as Monte Cristo, Sep 22 2009

Cedric Derenoncourt "Wordwarrior" (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Count of Monte Cristo (2 disc) (DVD)

MonteCristo is supposed to be a tall, slender young man, and despite the fact that Gerard Depardieu is an excellent actor, seeing Monte Cristo come out of 18 years of confinement and be about 75 pounds heavier then when he went into the "Chateau d'If" really stretches ones' suspension of disbelief throughout this well-wrought miniseries. Of course it also doesn't help that he is blond when he should be dark haired. Nevertheless this is a very good rendition of the story, with skilled actors who fill their roles with relish and panache as would be expected in a period piece and with actors playing along side the caliber of someone such as Gerard Depardieu. It was a worthwhile purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars À voir si vous n'avez pas lu..., Jun 5 2009

R. Thibault (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Count of Monte Cristo (2 disc) (DVD)

Une série qui ne respecte que sommairement le livre. On ne reconna�t m�me pas Dantes, interprété par Gérard Depardieu. Contrairement au livre, il est brouillon, sa démarche pour exécuter son plan est brouillon et l'histoire ne colle pas en plusieurs points à la série.

L'interprétation de certains personnages est vraiment mauvaise. Si on prend Mercedes, on voit presque le télé souffleur dans ses yeux. Au moins, en tant que catalane, on aura au moins pris la décence de prendre une actrice à l'accent espagnol. Fernand de Morcef, qui est son cousin, lui n'en a pas...

Bref, un divertissement correct pour des non-initiés à l'univers de Monte-Cristo mais à éviter pour les lecteurs du livre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un classique parfaitement rafra�chi, Feb 22 2009

M. N. A. (Saint-Laurent, Qu�bec) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Count of Monte Cristo (2 disc) (DVD)

Tout le monde conna�t cette histoire de vengeance où le héros n'est pas toujours gentil. Gérard Depardieu est formidable et le reste de la distribution est à l'avenant. J'ai particulièrement aimé Sergio Rubini dans le r�le de son fidèle serviteur. C'est aussi très émouvant de voir le défunt Guillaume Depardieu dans le r�le d'Edmond Dantes jeune.

That version of the Count of Monte Cristo is so awesome and not as violent as the american version. You get to know the man a lot more and who he really is, not as much about... Read more

Whoever cast Gerard Depardieu to portray the elegant and charismatic Edmond Dante should have been fired before this series ever went to air. Read more
