I just saw #TheCountOfMonteCristo.
I've never read the novel. The #movie is 3 hours long, and it is by far the messiest version of the story that I've seen. I was basically waiting for the duel that I knew would show up at the finale, but for the most part the drama of the performances and story kept me entertained.
I think this is the first version I've seen where Dantes uses #MissionImpossible style masks, so that was... different. 🤷♂️

So. The new #CountOfMonteCristo remake. Is it any good?
I enjoyed the Dumas novel immensely, but few of the screen adaptations, large or small, tickle my fancy.
What's your opinion of this 2024 remake/adaptation?
What if "The Princess Bride" took itself absolutely seriously?
"The Count of Monte Cristo" is an absolutely ridiculous story and I love it. It's a swashbuckling Ocean's Eleven meets Mission Impossible, where the heist takes 20 years to execute.
The story has been around for 180 years, but I am fortunate enough to never have read or watched it before, so now when I watched the 2024 version, I could experience the joy of being led around every twist and turn. I laughed, I was moved and I thoroughly enjoyed the competence porn of it all.

Ok, this should have been a series, but I still dig it:
