Montecristo

Boring, unengaging and predictable.

William Levy is a wanna-be James Bond whose acting skills are nowhere up to par with the actors in those movies. His acting is very dull, robotic and to top it off he has not learned how to properly enunciate after twenty years of career. Just because he appears shirtless any chance he has does not make this series any better. On top of all, Esmeralda Pimentel and William have very little chemistry.

The poor dialogues, bad action scenes and vulgar sex scenes end up making this a series that is just not worth recommending. It underdelivers as a thriller and as an action series. Hard to understand how you can mess up a classic such as The Count of Montecristo, but this "modern" series misshandled the core of the story quite badly and tried to compensate with by using William's body as bait. In conclusion, a flop.

Great series. Love story line and film locations. All characters are great, would love to see more !!!!

From the original which was dark I am truly enjoying all the twists and turns of the story line. The more I watched the more I was unable to stop from going to next episode.

Cast is amazing and I don't want it to end. Just 1 episode left out of 6. Binge worthy !!!!!!!

Anyone comparing it to the original book is completely out of touch. This is not meant to be a classic in the same sense as reading it. No comparison and it purely entertaining! I was not disappointed at all and would watch again!

I am a great fan of William Levy not his best day in this series, no empathy, no warmth and definitely not the Montecristo I read about!!! A little too much sex that made absolutely no sense in the story, it definitely wasn't the MONTECRSTO.. William Levy in Cafe de Aroma was the William Levy I like to see, warm,compassionate,loving kind to children and respectful to others. I wish in the future that he would have English subtitles so us US citizens can understand it..The best part of the series was the most beautiful scenes of the different places they were and oceans they were. The author of Montecristo would be saddened.

I completely agree with the original comment regarding the series being an excellent adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo". The production value was truly exceptional, and the performances given by the actors were top-notch. William Levy's portrayal of the main character was particularly noteworthy - it was arguably his best performance to date. However, it would be remiss not to mention the talented Esmeralda Pimentel, who delivered a fantastic performance as well.

The series adaptation stayed true to the essence of the classic novel, while also managing to bring a fresh perspective to the story. It was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I found the storyline to be well-crafted, and the pacing was just right - it never felt too slow or too rushed.

Regarding the negative comments, I couldn't agree more with the original poster's statement. It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to leave negative comments just for the sake of causing trouble. I would highly recommend giving this series a chance, as it's truly entertaining and well worth the watch. In short, the "Count of Monte Cristo" adaptation is a superb production that deserves all the accolades it can get.

Just five minutes into the first episode and I was hooked. Sometimes I got a little lost (thankful for the 10-second rewind) but I think that is because I'm not a native Spanish speaker. Sure, there are lots of deviations from Dumas's book, but it doesn't matter--the same can be said of "remakes" of other classics. Performances are top notch; it's good to see Levy delving into roles beyond the telenovela galán, although he has done quality work there as well. Other actors in this production are new to me, but all gave excellent performances and totally convincing. Montecristo is well worth watching!
