Beautiful skin, beautiful hair, beautiful young people. Ancient Egypt was so beautiful if this soap opera is to be believed. With all the close-ups of all the beautiful people and gratuitous sex scenes displayed, I'm surprised the…

Very disappointing. Most of the "facts" weren't. Most of the actors weren't either. A definite blood bath, however. I normally like Kingsley, but not in this. Ugh.

This movie was just amazing. It had great acting with a feel of authenticity I never felt with another movie such as this, the actor, Avan Jogia is fun to watch as Tut. There were natural sets and long sweeping camera shots to draw…

I lack the homework necessary to determine which of the two longer history-based comments were more accurate - as related to the basis of this film. I knew from the the beginning that Kingsley's character was playing a very key role and…

Of the 3 disks in this DVD set, I enjoyed the third disk the most for its suspense, court intrigue, bravery, death and burial of King Tut. I recognized elements of fact - Tut's marriage to a half-sister as common among Egyptian royalty to…

Fantastic movie!!! The acting, the costumes, the jewelry, the scenery, sculptures, I just can't say enough. Absolutely amazing! The story was done to the best of their knowledge and ability. How can anyone know authentically what…

Cinematic license (also known, in book terms, as literary license) is one thing, but competent screen-writing is another. This series may have the first...but it has none of the second. Ben Kingsley? A walk-on, minor role, upstaged…

When I watch an "historical" film (as opposed to a documentary) set in the distant past, I do not expect complete accuracy, especially when the "actual" history is as indeterminate as Tutankhamen's. This indeterminacy leaves room for…

I have to agree with several others who have commented - this was a disappointment. I kept hoping it would improve, but not even Ben Kingsley could save it. It was pedantic, and I thought the whole project was pointless. It was produced…

More like "Fut"; which is the sound of methane escaping from a camel's butt... I checked this out due to the presence of Ben Kingsley; whose performance in "Sexy Beast", as a counterpoint to "Ghandi" led me to think he was capable of doing…

Not the best of TV series. A disappointment on so many levels!

I love Ancient Egypt since I was a little kid. So, obviously I was extremely excited to watch this series. I was quite aware of the fact that this was a movie, not a documentary, and I am not archaeologist myself, yet, it was a terrible…

If you like gratuitous violence, costumes designed with titillation in mind and not historical accuracy and poor writing, then you will like this (made for t.v.) movies/ series. It was mediocre and I was disappointed by Ben Kingsley who…

It's a movie- it therefore is going to contain cinematic license, there is little personal history known about King Tut- enjoy.

This is a movie, not a documentary. Not an archaeologist in sight. It is fairly entertaining. Keep in mind that it IS a movie and perhaps not always historically correct.
