Before we get to the barge, you will want to know immediately whether Leonor Varela is the Queen of the Nile of your tape-head dreams. After luxuriating in the four-hour, $30 million mini-series, I'd say yes. Go to Full Review

Klim T 12/08/2024 Fantastic movie. Not only Leonor Varela, but the rest of the cast was perfect for the roles they played, down to the most humble. Casting agents knew what they were doing. A well earned award for art direction, the film has a very authentic feeling throughout, particularly on interiors designs, lighting and costumes. If you want more accuracy on Cleopatra story, you should turn to scholarly publications or documentaries. No Cleopatra movie has ever presented the whole story, that would take a long tv series or something. But this film moves at a good pace, never lagging. It also portrays the rivalry between Cleopatra and her sister, a key player in Cleopatra ' early struggles for power. Then there is the wonderful soundtrack by master composer Trevor Jones, a must listen by itself. Go watch it if you have not!

See more kathy h 06/30/2016 Another version that perpetuates the legend of Cleopatra as a drop dead gorgeous femme fatale and bugger all else. . I hope Angelina Jolie plays her as the highly intelligent and capable ruler she was instead of the usual scheming sex kitten Hollywood and Roman historical bias usually inflicts on us. See more 06/23/2016 Cleopatra fails to create any action in its premise and is boring yet it can be much worse due to the fact that it ruins one of the best of stories of ancient times and civilazations See more 07/30/2014 I love epic and tragic romances lol See more 05/23/2013 Love da Egyptian music in the flim See more Read all reviews
