The Worst Film Ever
As Good As It Gets
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Low budget - horrible Costumes - Unbearably bad acting, specially from Avan Jogia ! Mediocre Decor ! What a disappointment !!!
The producers of this show must have gone through a lot of trouble to find the whitest actors of color on earth. Ancient Egyptians were either black or possibly middle-eastern, i.e much like today. Tutankhamun's death mask show distinct African facial features and all depictions show him and the people around as having brown skin. Since there is no shortage of talented black or middle-eastern actors this can only be described as good old fashioned white wash, like a modern 'Lawrence of Arabia'.It bothered me so much that I didn't make beyond 7.42 minutes, because in combination with the really bad acting, this show was unbearable to watch. Moreover, in reality Tutankamun was severely disabled by skeletal disease, and could likely not stand up straight unaided, much less be a fierce fighter. One word: 'ugh'. Muse Entertainment should be ashamed of themselves.Muse Entertainment should be ashamed of themselves.
I really was looking forward to this, ancient Egypt great. I was hoping, maybe, with lots and lots of luck it would/could be at least half as good as "Rome",UNFORTUNATELY" it was not even a fraction as good. Especially the acting was terribly "Real-life-UNLIKE", not convincing at all. The story, predictable, weak, boring. I also hated the soundtrack. Sounded like it came from some ready-made backing sound DVD, that was playing all the time. All in all a big disappointment especially as it was obviously quite an expensive production.

Very refreshing to watch such a well written series, wonderful actors, believable sets, and story line. Wonderful to see that there is still some quality movie making instead of some of the dribble that is being made these days. Hated to see it end but hope more historical dramas will be forthcoming. Made me want to read more about King Tut and that period. Would definitely recommend this, well worth time spent watching.Enjoyed actors, especially the young man who played King Tut. Ben Kingsley portrayal was realistic and both of the young women were beautiful and well played.
