I watched the more recent version of the "Count of Monte Cristo" and I liked it.

Almost every movie I have watched based on a book that I have read has turned out to be disappointing. The first one was Flower in the Attic by V.C Andrews and talk about being sad after seeing it. I know they can't fit every little thing in to a movie though. The next one was IT by Stephan King. Wow...what a book and then although the movie versions was 8 hours...it still didn't really give the book justice. I wasn't quite as disappointed as I was with my first though. I think the movie that give the most accuracy to the book would be The Road by McCormick. It was pretty true to the book. King's stuff has been the most stuff that I have read and seen though. You know his books are very long and detailed. It is hard to fit it all in.

I've read lots of books that have been made into movies. I read Count in college, and while I don't remember all of it, I do remember enjoying it. However, it is hard to put a whole novel into a movie, since any movie can really only handle about a short story's worth of information. I think the Goblet of Fire and Half Blood Prince were a better movies than books. In part, LARGE part actually, because we didn't see the house elves and the Elf Liberation Front stuff in the first and that Nevil gave Harry the weed that let him breath underwater and that he found the Room of Necessity.

I have seen the old version movie of Count of Monte Cristo. Very much liked it. Books and movies ? Well, I have read the movies and the novels "Anna Karenina" and "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy. Very imrpresed indeed. Leo Tolstoy is one of my favorite authors.

I've only seen the 2002 version of Count of Monte Cristo starring J. Caviezel. I enjoyed this movie a lot. I haven't read the novel and had not seen other version of this movie. If the storyline is the same, I think this is a nice movie to watch.

i read the book "count of montechristo" and i like that.. very much. i like reading..than seeing it on a movie. reading..give us our imagination. but movie...not helping our imaginations.

I've never watched this one. I read the Three Musketeers and than I saw the movie and I was like That is not what happen in the book. That wasn't like that. He didn't die there. I really didn't enjoy the movie because I was so hung up on the book and I kept comparing everything so I'm glad I didn't read Lord of the Rings because I would have probably done the same thing.

I read the novel when I was about 14 (I think) and really liked it. I've seen two film versions so far and didn't find any of them quite as fun as the book. The better of the two, in my opinion, was the one made in the 1930's (I love old movies). I honestly can't think of any books I've liked more as movies right now, but there must have been some. When I really like a novel, I tend to enjoy the movie as well, if it's a decent effort. It gives me the opportunity to re-live a great story. "Pride and Prejudice" is an example.
