As for the comment that the movie preaches the message that the Count is violent without consequences read the book. He sees himself as the agent of Providence at first, then after his sucess, comes to thinks that he has gone too far. Remember, none of the people who wronged him would have suffered ANY punishment if they had changed their ways and become upright characters. They only met sad ends because the Count set up situations which their flawed characters led them to be involved in. That's what is so cool about his mode of revenge. I doubt that this will come across in the movie.
