Movie Reviews

Portland Oregonian - 10/10 by Kim MorganThat tale gets a first-class Hallmark Hall of Fame treatment in Kevin Reynolds's swaggering The Count of Monte Cristo, which is old-form moviemaking at its best.
Variety - 8/10 by Joe LeydonA lavishly mounted and appealingly old-fashioned swashbuckler with nary a trace of wink-wink irony or revisionist embellishment.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Lisa AlspectorIt's a heady mix of the earnest, the grave, and the frivolous. Wizardly director Kevin Reynolds even manages to condense into a single shot, with a wisp of humor, several of the hero’s long years in a dungeon without making them any less grueling.
Baltimore Sun - 8/10 by Michael SragowThis is the kind of adventure picture the studios churned out in the Golden Age -- so traditional it almost feels new.
Charlotte Observer - 8/10 by Lawrence ToppmanIt pays homage to the genre's most glorious days.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Charles SavageThe stuff of high romance, brought off with considerable wit, too. People are going to love it.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Chuck WilsonReynolds, working in close harmony with cinematographer Andrew Dunn (Gosford Park), brings an infectious brio and an occasional sweeping grace to the classic trappings of Dumas.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittSail to the box office, swashbucklers. Dumas is back in style.
Rolling Stone - 7/10 by Peter TraversThe new Count moves with the smooth, plastic efficiency of a TV miniseries. Inspiration and originality may be in short supply, but the movie gets the job done.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Michael DequinaThe film tells an engaging swashbuckler on its own terms, and that's what director Kevin Reynolds has done with this old-fashioned romp of revenge.
