Customer Reviews

Idiotic portrayal of a great queen
I see other favorable reviews for this film and I am flabbergasted. When Cleopatra met Caesar she was a woman of 20-21 not a child. If Cleopatra were to see how she is played in this film she would roll over in her tomb. Her "nurse" tells her she needs a bath everyday. Caesar tells Cleopatra that he must eat her - like he was talking to a child and does refer to her as "my child" throughout and a pouty one at that. "before Caesar I was foolish and did what I like - now that Caesar has made me wise I do what must be done and have no time to attend to myself". Would the real Cleopatra think she was foolish until Caesar came into her life? Not hardly. Later Cleopatra tells Caesar "I'm only a child and pouts". Story takes place when Caesar meets Cleopatra (at the bottom of a sphyinx?) for years - no mention of the child she had with Caesar. If we didn't know history we would think it more a father/child relationship instead of lovers. This Cleopatra is childish, stupid and definitely not seductive. Even at the end of the movie "as much a child as ever Cleopatra - haven't I made a woman of you after all" - Caesar tells Cleopatra that he will send her a man (Antony)and kisses (the only kiss) on her forehead. Then sails away. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
