Negative Positive
Title: Sadly flat.
Review: Perhaps I was unfairly influenced by having already seen the 1998 French adaptation, staring,Gérard Depardieu (which is closest to the book), and the 2002 movie, which stars, James Caviezel as Edmond Dantès, and Guy Pearce as Fernand Mondego. The 2002 movie, though taking many liberties with the story stayed, exciting and fun through-out. This 1975 version is just dull. Perhaps there was a better movie in there, somewhere, before the inevitable made for television cuts, but there is no way to tell.
Is the review positive or negative?
