Toutânkhamon: le pharaon maudit

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!

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.

Obviously no one knows exactly what happened during Tut's reign but there has been enough discovered Spike could have still done an excellent series using a little more fact. If you like elaborate costumes, scenery and intrigue it's good. If you are hoping for more of a true depiction you will be disappointed. Was so excited to watch on Netflix since this was my favorite time in history and finally had to pretend it was a story I did not know...which it sort of was.

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.

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.
