Loved these disks and the film. I've always remembered this mini-series as I love Gerard Depardieu. He's great as the Count of Monte Cristo and his right hand man is terrific. You'll love him! After a while the English subtitles don't bother you at all. Read the other reviews of this mini-series. A tale of redemption and revenge and marvelous adventures. They went on site to film the series, Morroco was just one of the lovely spots. Get the Man in the Iron Mask for another hilarious version of one of the three Musketeers. Gerard is aging, impotent, and thinking he wants to die. They are all older and it's quite a romp. Gerard is a chef in The Last Holiday with Queen Latifah. Gerard has breadth, and depth, and charm. He's dark and dangerous as the Count. I love this set disks. Hope you will too! Read the other reviews; they are far better than mine. Read full review

This was a miniseries made for French TV and thank God they have made it available on dvd. I have not read the original Dumas novel, so I cannot say whether it is faithful to the original, but I can say that this is the most incredible, touching story of love, vengeance, redemption and forgiveness. Depardieu's performance is magnificent -- one of his best films, and he shows off everything we love: his manliness, his forcefulness, his romantic and playful side. I highly recommend this film to everyone!
i absolutly liked it!!!!! the movie is very long but i think it is worth the time spent waching it. Gerard Depardieu plays his roles with perfection ( not surprising). If you love french movies or are trying to learn french, it is a must see with no moderation!!!!
I loved this movie! I had never read the book and never would have picked this one but it a very entertaining epic adventure. The acting, story and cinemaphotography are all superb. A movie the whole family can watch is very hard to find. I would recommend it to anyone who loves adventure movies, epics or period pieces and is tired of the things Hollywood usually turns out. Enjoy!
Great version of the classic story. True to the book.
