The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I can't just believe the high rating. The plot and storyline was completely off the mark. Egypt's general acts and speaks like a bodyguard, Sibylla deen was awful especially in her role as a seductress. Tutankhamun appeared to be the only class act in this show. A pure waste of time.

I'm a fan of historical dramas, based heavily on true historical events but dramatised, so I thought that this series would be a decent way to pass some time. I was sorely mistaken. Other series of similar ilk (Rome, Vikings, Outlander) manage to give you the drama while still remaining consistent with the era they're portraying. Unfortunately, Tut does not achieve this goal. In the shows defence, there is limited source material to ensure that historical accuracy is achieved, with Tutankhamun's life remaining fairly mysterious even with projects investigating the genetic lineage of the pharaohs of Egypt. However there are some basic pieces of knowledge that are ignored in this series, the most obvious being the age of the Boy King. History has been pretty clear that Tutankhamun rose to his position of pharaoh around middle childhood, between the ages of six and nine years, and was dead by the time he reached his late teens. My other key critique of the series is the casting. Ben Kingsley was an OK choice, however (and I have to say it otherwise I'm just not being honest), the entire time he's on screen it just seemed like he was thinking "I was in freaking Iron Man, and now I'm reduced to this?!" He flittered from being bad-ass puppet-master (which again, that was historical at least) to being an emasculated mess. I couldn't tell if he was an ally or an enemy. It was confusing. Then you've got Sybilla Deen, who spent the series looking super uncomfortable in her costumes to the point that it distracted from the dialogue. She's wearing something similar to Leeloo out of Fifth Element, but the way she was holding her body was like she was afraid her boobs were going to pop out at any second and scare the life out of Mr Kingsley.

Tut Part 1 - Very interesting. Had several favorite scenes. The bed scenes? It was great too (lol). At the end of the part 1, I feel really interested on the story of the young pharaoh. 1-5 rating? I would give 4.Tut Part 2 - Not Okay. I expected more from the characters. Like plot twist and other new characters to be involved but I guess they are short on budget so the casting kept to the minimum. I got bored when the ending part is near, 1-5 rating? I would give 2. Tut Part 3 - A conclusive ending. But I got dismayed on how the battle ended with the mitanni's. The prince of the mitanni didn't even fight back like 5 seconds. He just killed one guy? It would have been great if they added more fight scene with Lagus Vs Mitannie Prince. Plus the king didn't even fight for his life, A warrior king should fight back or even swing his sword / weapon even once. The Mitanni King should have the pride to fight as a King. Meanwhile on General Horemheb, he was superB when he fought those mitanni forces all by himself. But again, the battle scene was too short, a not very good thing for me because I see battle scenes very important when it comes to this short film.Final Verdict : King Tut did great on Internal and External conflicts. He handles it very well, very wise indeed for a young pharaoh.

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.
