Toutânkhamon: le pharaon maudit

To start the 3 part series tries to tell the story of king TUT within that 3 episode time span with the little knowledge known about the boy king.The casting was spot on and the performances were on par with what is expected from the characters especially the pharaoh.Do not look for a history lesson here since you won't be able to find it.You can find good battle scenes,nice scenery but its not for kids though for obvious reasons.

I found the series to be quite entertaining and it covered most of the aspects of the human struggle which can be compared to modern times.Wished it was more than just 3 episodes.

Loved the costumes, actors, and most of all the Pharaoh they chose! I liked the drama set up! I haven't been exited about a show in a while and this one is entertaining. I found the relationships with his high priest and his general similar to what goes on in politics today. I wish it was a series not a mini series as I'm loving the content. It is definitely not appropriate for kids though. I liked how there was a mixture of hate and anger linked to the pharaoh by everyone around him. You can never hold the spotlight too long because everybody wants it. I feel that is very humanly behavior being portrayed in these series of "Tut". I want to see the king in television more often he brightened my night.

This show was a total and pleasant surprise. I would of loved to see it have a chance to developed more but all and all a very good show. People dogging this show lose sight that is TV show not a documentary full of facts and figures. The show served it's purpose of providing drama and a very good story. From a production stand point I thought it was outstanding. Actors and actresses who I've never heard of had a chance to shine and for the most part did a very respectable job. As with most TV drama there are going to parts that could of hit the editorial floor but for Spike TV to feature a show off this magnitude I thought it was well done and definitely worth watching!

Not sure if this is Spike TVs first attempt for a TV movie but if it is it was well done. Giving the network is considered a guy's version of Lifetime it definitely had all the elements you'd expect in a movie made for fuys while appealing to the women too. Action packed battle scenes betrayal love and destiny.

I got to admit the set designs even the CGI to form the background to show the glory of how Egypt may have looked in its prime was not that bad at all. Even the costumes were well done.

Story was well paced for me and I found myself concerned for Tut and was cheering for him to succeed. There obviously isn't a lot of story about Tuts reign but it to my knowledge covered the political and economical issues we do know may have happened in his time. Tension relations with outer tribes and economic distress. Though a lot of Historians believe he was mildly crippled and may have not fought his own battles he was buried with war armor so it's easy to assume maybe he did. Besides movie wouldn't be as interesting if he wasn't in the battles so why not.

Actors were pretty good in it. Ben Kingsley of course was great but a lot of the other actors ,except Nonzo Azonie from Game of Thrones season 2, were unknowns to me and did a good enough job to not make me cringe every time they opened their mouth.

If you're looking for a movie to fill your need for the disappointment of Exodus: Gods and Kings this will be a great one to watch. Sure not all the actors were Egyptian. Hard to find true Egyptians today like it is Mayans but at least the actors look like they would be. Not white actors with bad body paint like Exodus.

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.
