Montecristo

Umm Mmmmmmmm no no no. I am A big fan of the story, the book and all of them movies that they played in the past. Also loved the Jim caviezel one with Guy pierce. It was exciting to watch it glued you to the screen. It was exciting to see how he would plot his revenge. And disguise himself as as The count of montecristo. But this miniseries lost me. As others have pointed out they modernized it and it lost its touch plus. It's not exciting at all just a bunch of sex scenes like others have commented and I agree that were not necessary to see William levy having. I do like him but not for this role I am sorry to say I also like Esmeralda pimentel and I thought she was pretty good but not enough to save this.... Very bad bad bad bad at times I would lose track in what I was watching it's awful would not recommend unless you want to see William levy have sex with everyone.

Just five minutes into the first episode and I was hooked. Sometimes I got a little lost (thankful for the 10-second rewind) but I think that is because I'm not a native Spanish speaker. Sure, there are lots of deviations from Dumas's book, but it doesn't matter--the same can be said of "remakes" of other classics. Performances are top notch; it's good to see Levy delving into roles beyond the telenovela galán, although he has done quality work there as well. Other actors in this production are new to me, but all gave excellent performances and totally convincing. Montecristo is well worth watching!

The TV show differs from the book, and the movies we saw previously. The new story is more adapted to today's world: oppression, lies, corruption, and revenge. William Levy did an outstanding job playing the character. I loved the ending; it is a great message. We need to let go of the past and move forward no matter what.

As for the people complaining about intimacy scenes for the first time, I see those scenes as part of the story. When he was with Mercedes, I didn't see love; I saw anger, and Levy did that well. The other relationships were part of the vendetta plan. Great Job, Willaim Levy.

I completely agree with the original comment regarding the series being an excellent adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo". The production value was truly exceptional, and the performances given by the actors were top-notch. William Levy's portrayal of the main character was particularly noteworthy - it was arguably his best performance to date. However, it would be remiss not to mention the talented Esmeralda Pimentel, who delivered a fantastic performance as well.

The series adaptation stayed true to the essence of the classic novel, while also managing to bring a fresh perspective to the story. It was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I found the storyline to be well-crafted, and the pacing was just right - it never felt too slow or too rushed.

Regarding the negative comments, I couldn't agree more with the original poster's statement. It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to leave negative comments just for the sake of causing trouble. I would highly recommend giving this series a chance, as it's truly entertaining and well worth the watch. In short, the "Count of Monte Cristo" adaptation is a superb production that deserves all the accolades it can get.

Great series. Love story line and film locations. All characters are great, would love to see more !!!!

From the original which was dark I am truly enjoying all the twists and turns of the story line. The more I watched the more I was unable to stop from going to next episode.

Cast is amazing and I don't want it to end. Just 1 episode left out of 6. Binge worthy !!!!!!!

Anyone comparing it to the original book is completely out of touch. This is not meant to be a classic in the same sense as reading it. No comparison and it purely entertaining! I was not disappointed at all and would watch again!
