Poetic Film Review: The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

(source: tmdb.org)

In the depths of Chateau d'If, a tale unfolds
Of betrayal, revenge, and treasures untold
Edmond Dàntes, a man wronged and scorned
Rises as the Count of Monte Cristo, adorned

With Richard Harris as his mentor and guide
He plots his vengeance with patience and pride
Jim Caviezel, a man of noble heart
Seeks justice for the wrongs that tore him apart

Kevin Reynolds brings this tale to life
With a cast of characters, both dark and light
Though not a perfect adaptation, it shines
As Hollywood's attempt at classic literature lines

Fencing scenes and European charm
Transport us back to a time of harm
But in the end, justice prevails
As the Count's revenge never fails

So sit back and enjoy this cinematic show
As the Count of Monte Cristo's story unfolds
A tale of love, betrayal, and fate
In Hollywood's rendition, we find our escape.
