The Count of Monte Cristo (2024)

I finally saw this after doing a blind buy. I loved the 2002 version, but I have never read the book.

I was surprised to see how different the 2 movies were which leads me to my biggest question to those who have read the book, which version is closer to the source material without spoiling the source/book?

I do plan on reading the book shortly, but wanted to watch this new version first before doing so. I have a feeling this new movie is probably closer to the source, but I do have some issues in the storytelling in this version.

Also, I preferred the 2002 handling of the the time in prison with the priest.
