Yell with me Revenge!! The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) FIRST TIME WATCHING 

So funny: 'Everyone looks like Henry Cavill!'. Especially, when Albert IS played by Henry Cavill (btw, his first casting). And earlier at the beginning of the movie 'Edmond looks like Henry Cavill!'. So it was the perfect casting of Henry Cavill as son!

Mercedes was a name for women long before the car.

7:35 "He looks a little like Henry Cavill". That's an amazing connection to make, especially with what happens later in the film.

"Mercedes? Like the Car?!?" LOL! Actually the other way round is true: The cars once were named after Mercedes Jellinek, the daughter of their chief importer to Austro-Hungary, Emil Jellinek 🙂

FANTASTIC MOVIE!!! 🤘😎🤘🥰🥰 Dumbledore teaches Jesus Christ how to dance and get revenge on Aldrich Killian, while reuniting with his son Kal-El! 😁🤣😂🤣💗👍

Yayyyy that's a great movie and one of my favourite books. I've even been in Chateau D'If due to this history.

ROFL! The "RECKOGNIZE HEEEEEEEEEM!" had me laughing audibly. lol so good.

“You want to drive the car” 😂😂😂 🚘

"Be smart. I know you're named after a car, but you got this."

This is still my all time favorite movie since it came out.

Everyone was told that Edmond was dead. It had also been 16 years since they last saw him. Some people forget others' faces. Especially when they are told they are dead. Mercedes loved Edmond so much that she couldn't forget him.

Hi Biss, great reaction. His sidekick was played by Luis Guzman ( Gomez Addams) from Wednesday, and a ton of other movies.

3:52 If I recall correctly, in the book, It was noted that Edmund lived in an area that spoke a mixture of French and Italian. This movie was made for an American audience primarily, so i understand why they didn't get into regional dialect stuff.

32:18 😂 and RECOGNIZZZZE HEEEEEMMM!😂 Love your reactions. 😊

Biss getting into the classics! Such a great film and an amazing reaction. This was a real pleasure to see

"Quite liberating isn’t it ?" I’ll liberate you. I’ll liberate you from life. Lesson #1: Don’t cheat on Biss. "He wants to drive the car." I literally laughed out loud at that one. 😂 Also, I never knew that was Henry Cavill. Good catch! But did anyone else recognize Villefort as Franklin from True Blood ?

Fun fact: the old man in the prison with Edmond, is Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator. 19:04

One of my favourite movies and such a good soundtrack!

28:31 That is Luis Guzman. One of the most recent things you may have seen him in is the show Wednesday on Netflix. He played Gomez Addams. Wednesday's father. But he's been in a lot of other things too.

I like this retelling of the story. IMO, this is one of the great tales in literature that should never be forgotten. If you are a book reader, read this book, plus of course the The Musketeers books by the same author (Dumas). Speaking of which, I have a fondness for "The Three Musketeers" and "The Four Musketeers" movies, done in the 70s. Classics!

I enjoy your reactions so much. You are endearing, insightful, witty, smart, and cute as can be. 😊

"But have you named them yet?" One of the best lines

They don't do the best of jobs in portraying it in the film. But I believe the book mentions his years of suffering in prison left Edmond significantly altered in appearance. Allowing him to better hide his true identity from those he once knew. Another great film adaptation of a classic piece of literature is The Time Machine. I think you'd enjoy that one as well.. 😊

You want to drive the car! Took less than a second to catch that one. That was gooooood!

The main character is namr is Jim Caviziel ,American actor 😊

I think this is one of the greatest stories of revenge, redemption and forgiveness ever told.

44:10 the way you reacted to her saying "you never pleased me" lmao

With so many adaptations doing it completely wrong in the past 10 years, this is an example of a good film adaptation. Changed a lot while remaining true to a lot of the plot points and the overall message of the story. I do agree with your small criticism of the lack of accents, and I like your accent a lot, coincidentally

Biss: "How much money do you want to spend? Yes." 😂

You're the best! Thanks for sharing this great movie!

Great movie. Really one of the best I have ever seen. If you like this you must see Frequency 2000 a great movie with the same lead actor .

I have watched several reactions to this, and am enjoying your take on it. You’re the first reactor I’ve seen that figured out Albert is Edmond’s son so very early, and just by spotting the resemblance. Now, some comments: The guard that shot at Edmond when he was riding away to flee, near the beginning, was not a bad shot. Flintlock guns have a delay between the pull of the trigger and the ignition of the main powder charge, so shooting a fast moving target is NOT easy. There are several reasons why it was so hard for his old associates to recognize Edmond. First, everyone thought he was dead, they would not ever expect to see him. He’s 16 years older. Yes, the facial hair is part of it, but a small part. Most importantly, all of his mannerisms are wildly different than when he was young, naive Edmond Dantes. His bearing, the set of his face, how he looks at people, how he talks, all different, all played to his role as the wildly rich Count of Monte Cristo.

'"That ugly Fernand cannot produce something so pretty that is Henry Cavill" had me LOL big time! 😂😂😂😂

The book is fantastic and a must read if you enjoyed this. The movie deviates quite a bit from the book and there are quite a few details in the movie that bother me but it's still entertaining to watch.

Luiz Guzman is perfect in this film, Greendale's greatest graduate.

Pretty okay reaction to an awesome movie. As a friendly FYI, although this movie was based on the 1830s novel by black French author Alexander Dumas, this adaptation was made for American audiences which is why the filmmakers decided not to go heavy with French accents. That decision was the director's choice. The author is the same one who also wrote "The Three Musketeers" and "The Man In The Iron Mask" in the 1830s. Also, the name 'Mercedes' was a common name in Europe long before cars were invented. Btw, just 2 years later in 2004, the same actor (Jim Caviezel) who played the role of Edmund Dantes/The Count of Monte Cristo, also played the role of Jesus in the Mel Gibson movie "The Passion of The Christ"....a movie where he was also beaten and tortured. There have been many Hollywood movie adaptations of the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", at least since the 1930s. This 2002 version is one of my favs. But another adaptation of the "TCOMC" that I still love and occasionally binge-watch, is the modern TV adaptation from ABC Network called "Revenge", which aired for 4 seasons from 2011 to 2015. It was based on the present era, with most of the storyline centered in the Hamptons, Long Island (NY). GREAT TV series..."Revenge". Also, I'm not sure if you realized it...but the young actor who played the role of his 16-year old son, 'Albert', is actually actor Henry Cavill who went on to play Clark Kent/Superman in the DC Universe movies over 10 years later ('Man of Steel", 'Batman vs Superman", 'Justice League').

Good movie reaction. So wait, if you have unlimited money, you can buy estates and revenge? Somebody is about to work harder

My favorite film of all time. Vengeance is a perfectly valid motive.

"I know you're named after a car, but be smart!" LMAO!

I love this movie. I really love "Revenge" stories. Not sure what that says about me. But there it is. I think it was even the first DVD I ever purchased.

The estate is powerscourt in Ireland. Beautiful spot and open to visitors

Of all the iterations on film, this is my favorite one.

This may be the funniest reaction to this movie. From the German car thing to your uncertainty about Henry Cavill 😂

I just realized, the boy in this movie is Superman!!!

"I usually don't wish to punch peoples in the face". uh.... I'm going to call bullshit on that. (smile). It's what makes you endearing.

28:11 Luis Guzmán. Not so long ago, he even stayed in Romania while filming the series Wednesday (as Gomez Addams). 😉

Nice one, Biscute! 🙂 Thanks for sharing it.

7:43 Funny you should say that. This movie is the first place I ever saw Henry Cavill. He is very young in here.

Another, more accurate version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is the 1998 miniseries version starring Gerard Depardieu... and it's in French, with subtitles. Much longer, much darker, but more accurate. And a great performance by Depardieu.

The evil prison guard in red is a great actor! Been in some great movies!

If I had a top 10 all-time favorite movies this one would definitely be in it

This movie is in my top ten favorites. Thanks for the reaction.

We read this book in school, probably 6th 7th grade . What a classic...

This is my favorite movie of all time, hell yea! ❤

35:07 “They did do some sexy time between the rocks.” Lmfao such a cute way to say it and coupled with the accent, it’s chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳🤌

Bisscute is always so surprised at the name Mercedes for a girl instead of a car. But the car was actually named after the founders daughter Mercedes Jellinek

Jacapo was played by Luis Guzman, you may have seen him playing Gomez Addams in Wednesday.

Love this reaction! 🖤

Remember in Shawshank? He tells the other prisoner, you will like this book, its about a prison break!

And the gorgous rock formation is on Gozo, the small island right north of Malta. By the way, you mean she is named Mercedes like the car, that was named after the daughter of Herrn Benz!

My grandmother took me to see this movie when it came out. Are you wearing pajamas? Its adorable.

Dumas such an awesome writer... Count of Monte Christo, 3 Musketeers, and Man in the Iron Mask are all classics and his father was also an intriguing person as well from a slave to one of Frances greatest Generals.

18:13 If you look closely, you will notice he accidentally blows out the candle, but a light still shines, probably from a hidden flashlight. Biss, "why does everybody look like Henry Cavill in this movie," and Henry Cavill plays a part in this movie. Also, about the accents...I don't think this movie would do very well at all if they had the actors trying to do fake accents.

Funnily enough I’ll be visiting Marseille in a couple of weeks, we’ll see how it goes 😄

It was fun watching you react to the Count of Monte Cristo, as always you are funny and witty.

Great film based on a classic of universal literature, thanks for this one Bisscute ❤❤the protagonist is Jim Caviezel who played Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's film: The Passion (a recommendation for future reactions). Biss I also suggest you react to the latest movie starring Jim Caviezel called: Sound of Freedom is a good movie about a strong topic: human trafficking. I think you'll like it.😊

eye shadow on point biss 💗

the usual great reaction....🤩

17:48 character voice of Ceasar in Gladiator.:-Ernie Moore Jr.

One thing I never understood was why Napoleon ordered the priest to burn down a church full of gorillas. That never made any sense to me

I think the chess piece is a King "King for a Day"

"Does everyone look like Henry Cavill?" LOL.

Nice thumbnail. You would make a great vampire Biss. 😅

If you visit Marseille it will not look like this. Most of the movie was filmed in Malta and I have visited many of the locations there.

::sees Jim Caviziel, says, "He looks like Henry Cavill":: ::sees Henry Cavill, says, "He's so cuuuuute"::

This is a book worth reading. It is much, much better than any of the movie adaptations.

So witty and charming. Never lose that accent. How do Romanian women not rule the world?

23:20 ... That's a great idea 💡 😂

26:52 It wasn't three months. He was with the smugglers for years in the novel. That's the biggest oversight in the movie. Not sure if it was a typo kind of mistake or a deliberate alteration of the book. Either way, it doesn't make sense when you add up the time he was in d'If and look at the age of his son.

Enjoyed. Thank you. 😊😊

While this is an excellent movie, I highly recommend reading the book which is one of the best books ever written. Though don't read it thinking it will have the same Hollywood ending.

I love this movie with such a passion I love it when Cristo meets the old man in prison

5:16 another gem from Bisscute

This is one of my favorite movies. Great review.

15:45 comment, great comment.-Ernie Moore Jr.

This year there is going to be released a French Version of the Count of Monte Cristo

thanks

First one who said Edmonds surname correctly! :) Without S on the end! :)

I subscribed because I found you to be intelligent and insightful.

Your wit, humor, timing, and empathy make you my favorite reactor. You are head and shoulders above the rest. This movie is a classic and yes.. Henry Cavill will make it to d movie soon enough 😊.

11:50 Of course you know her. Hellen McCrory, best known as Narcissa Malfoy.

The lady and the guy you thought were familiar faces are Helen McCrory and Luis Guzman. You might've knew them as Aunt Polly from Peaky Blinders and Gomez in Netflix's Wednesday.

Love this movie

That's not Marseille, that's La Valleta, the capital of Malta!!!

Henry Cevail was still so young here!

One of my favourite movies and very underrated, it should get more reactions.

I like this... As you see the friend getting ready to betray... Oh, oh, oh get ready for what happens. Wait til you see the guy who runs the jail!

Madalina - MAN IN THE IRON MASK (and) The THREE MUSKETEERS (and) MARK of ZORRO are other CLASSIC PERIOD stories (movies) you might enjoy, if you haven't already seen them. The Count of Monte Cristo was a great choice. Please do more such movies. THANKS !! (Dave Strong) --- Count of Monte Cristo (2002) with Jim Caviezel is the HAPPY reunion version for Mercedes and most of the fans of the story. The NOVEL (and other movie versions) has the Count of Monte Cristo separating from Mercedes at the end and instead lives his life with Haydee (the daughter of Ali Pasha) whom he rescued from slavery. It's assumed that Edmund and Haydee marry with a happy ending.

My second favorite movie of all time

Interesting fact the car Mercedes is named after the Daughter of the car manufacturer.🚗
