thread_title: Synopsis Section

thread_title: Alterations from the text

message: When I watched this movie, it seemed to me that Dantès had only been in prison for 14 years, and Albert was 16 years old when Dantès returned, meaning that he would have had to have already been born by the time Dantès was imprisoned. If this is correct, then maybe something about it should be added to the Trivia section. Of course, I'm no movie expert and I may have just not heard everything properly or somehow missed something important, in which case feel free to ignore this. - green_meklar 22:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Though Edmond only spent about 13 years in prison, he also spent a long time planning his revenge.  According to the book, he spent years.  Emperor001 00:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  I do not recall if her exact age is mentioned in the book (it was not mentioned in the movie), but considering she was younger than Edmond, and Edmond was 19 when he went to d'If, she would have been somewhere between 27 and 34 when she meets up with Edmond again (when Edmond is 35 or 36, and his son is 16). — al-Shimoni (talk) 03:05, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Time discrepancy?

message: To what, exactly, does this section refer? It can't be "characters from the book omitted from the movie," as some of those characters (such as Valentina Villefort) are in fact in the film. They are even mentioned in the synopsis. Blackened (talk) 07:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My mistake. I suppose their names stayed the same, but their capacities changed. :) Blackened (talk) 07:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You have the right idea, i always felt there should always be a section for  film adaptations of famous books which state the major character or plot differences from the original text.  Perhaps you could rename the section to discuss this. --68.51.72.144 (talk) 07:07, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Characters Omitted"

message: User DonIago removed a minor edit that mentions a significant plot point concerning the fate of Danglers. I have restored it. --KJRehberg (talk) 21:24, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Please review WP:FILMPLOT. The plot should be shorter, not longer. You are welcome to incorporate your edit while cleaning up the plot in other ways. DonIago (talk) 22:23, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm rejecting this edit war with you.  Forget it. You can keep the incorrect plot summary and I'll leave this note here for the record. --KJRehberg (talk) 03:07, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restored important plot point 

message: The article says: "Six years later, Edmond is startled in his cell by an eruption in the ground revealing another prisoner, Abbé Faria, who has been imprisoned for 11 years after refusing to tell Bonaparte the whereabouts of the treasure of the Spada family." This conveys the wrong perception that Faria was sentenced to 11 years in prison. It could be reworded as follows: "Six years later, Edmond is startled in his cell by an eruption in the ground revealing another prisoner, Abbé Faria, who has been incarcerated for the past 11 years after refusing to tell Bonaparte the whereabouts of the treasure of the Spada family."
