Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Sometimes we forget how good modern production values are. The sets on this mini series were outstanding and showed ancient Eygpt in it's full glory. Avan Jogia who plays Tut did a great job, he looked and acted the part brilliantly and he even stole scenes he played opposite Ben Kingsley.I thought Nonso Anozie was very good as the general, torn between his own desire for adulation and his allegiance to the young Pharoah. Sibylla Deen, who plays Tut's wife/sister was gorgeous and I thought she played her part well. Kylie Bunbury, who plays the other love interest of Tut was also beautiful and clearly a brilliant actress.Some of the sex scenes were unnecessarily graphic but that aside this was a good series well worth a watch.I am sure this is not historically accurate but very few of this type of film is.

I will give this series a 9, because I found the casting, the acting, costuming, pacing, sets, and storyline to be extremely well done! This is one of the best T.V series about a historical figure, or based on one that I have seen in a long time! Even though "Tut" keeps your creative juices flowing and entertains You it may not be the most accurate information or take on Ancient Egyptians, or King Tut's life. I feel the writers may have made a lot of this up for ratings, because little was really known about this boy king as the called Tut. I'm sorry, but I have to nitpick here. Ancient Egyptians had dark skin, they were not white People or Mexican People made to look darker than they truly are, other than that I was appalled by the graphic sex scenes, so this is possibly not a movie for children or adults that do not like to see that kind of content.

I'm visiting Egypt for the second time, next week, and this series is a real tonic! Wow! Fast paced, wonderful scenery, great sets, lovely costumes and a powerful script. Very cool indeed. Why the Mitanni kings are black, though, defies logic ... they were from Syria. I guess the producers wanted black representation in ancient history, even though it never existed. Would black TV audiences really refuse to watch a miniseries about King Tutankhamun just because there were no black actors in it? Of course not! Grow up Hollywood!!!!The casting is superb, Tutankhamun is a dark, embittered youth, that kicks back at his historical portrayal as a teen aged victim of Egyptian politics, shades of Frank Herbet's DUNE. Ankhesunamen is fabulously gorgeous and Ay (Ben Kingsley), is perfect in his role.

wonderful story, beautiful photography, but it is really spoiled by terrible sound editing. the "action " scenes are easily 10dB louder than the dialog scenes , without constantly sitting on the volume control one can miss dialog and be blasted out of the room when the action starts. Same is true for the commercial breaks. They are at least 10 dB louder than the general show. I thought that they were not supposed to do this anymore.The degree of graphic sex is probably a little much for many but is tastefully done. the rise and fall of the plot twists is exciting and compelling. I recommend this mini-series , but caution the viewer to ride the remote volume if you value your hearing.
