The Count of Monte Cristo

I recently re-watched this movie after forgetting whether I liked it or not, and discovered once more why I completely forgot about this movie. The movie and characters are beyond cheesy, and there's just to twist to the plot. Dantes spends 1h20 min in a jail cell, 20 min as Count and maybe 15 min to fully accomplish his revenge. Really? So much for a climax (although to be fair, Dantes and the old mentor were very well played). If you're really looking for a movie based on vengeance but with a solid plot line, watch "The Mask of Zorro" with Antonio Banderas instead.
