RetuenOfDevsman 03/27/24 8:58:04 AM #130:	Baron_Ox posted... The Count of Monte Cristo Jim Caviezel adaptation is legitimately bad, and loses sight of the source material. not to say that an adaptation has to be identical to the source material, but this adaptation feels generic and soulless. Caviezel also lacked charisma in the role. To be fair, there's really no way to make a decent film adaptation of CoMC. It's about as long as Lord of the Rings, and needs every single word. You'd have to make it like a ten film series to even cover every chapter. There actually is an abridged publication (maybe more than one) but it's an absolute mystery how. <cite>RetuenOfDevsman posted [p:979587684] in What's you...
