I think it's more like the Count of Monte Cristo's Revenge

Really, I don't know what to say...Although Alexandre Dumas's novels are like Chinese martial arts novels, they are happy and vindictive, but they don't have so many deep meanings. However, changing it to such a happy ending or something is really too cheap.

The first half of the movie made me think that Dantes deserved to be locked up. He didn't have a brain at all, and he was so lucky that he didn't cheat on you. After escaping later, he began to become insane again. Are such inferior traps and methods really not afraid of being seen through? In the original work, the rigorous layout of the count's chain of links has been completely simplified, and the complex relationship between several key characters is the most critical detail in the revenge plan. And that Abel, so easily re-identified as a real man?

It's really better to change the name to Monte Cristo's Revenge to suit this film!

    In fact, the new version is not bad, although I can't remember the plot of the original very well = =

    For the plot of Dantès' revenge, which is also the climax of the original book, the filming is not exciting enough. And the change is a bit big, so it seems very uncomfortable. But fortunately, the performances of the actors are very exciting. For example, Dantès's portrayal of the coexistence of two emotions in prison, the desire for survival and despair, can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people have to sympathize with his tragic experience. As Alexandre Dumas's most famous novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", it is indeed difficult to adapt and shoot, but loyalty to the original is the most basic, but the adaptation of this film is not satisfactory.
