The book is much more dark and depressing. They changed the whole ending and the tone for the movie.

yeah the movie was actually kind of wack in comparison. Its entertaining in its own right but they only had 2 hours to work with so its understandable in that regard.



As far as great media adaptations of the book, you're better to go with the French miniseries
The Count of Monte Cristo (TV Mini-Series 1998) - IMDb
I got this on dvd :ahh:

Also the anime adaptation Gankutsuou is apretty dope.


These two adaptations have more time for the story than a movie so they're able to give you more of the nitty gritty. The movie with the passion of the christ dude was made more into just an action movie instead of focusing on his schemes and revenge.
