Richard von Lust It is difficult to describe just how bad this production is. Besides depicting interior design in 18th. Dynasty Egypt as a carbon copy of 21st. Century luxury hotels, the events described are almost entirely fabricated. Incestuously bred, Tutankhamun was a genetically deformed cripple who could not even walk unaided let alone lead his army into battle. He was unusually tall and slightly built and yet the production shows him as a muscular young hunk, a modern day action man valiantly defeating the odds in every battle and able to slice the heads off men twice his age and size. He was also intensely religious and quickly reversed his father's drive towards monotheism by replacing the ancient Gods in common worship. He restored the traditional priesthood and yet the production shows him in constant struggle with the polytheist faction to the extent that he has the entire priesthood exterminated whilst personally dispatching the high priest himself. Murder rates high in this production. In fact there are so many slit throats, hacked off limbs and graphic impalements that blood flows like wine throughout the experience. And yet there is no evidence of any large scale wars or mass executions during his reign. In fact records show him to have been something of a peacemaker and diplomat who established peace with several major enemies. But it is the modern day interpretation of style, behavior and reasoning that really renders this mini series into the trash level. The women are all glamorous and dominant. The male heroes are all good looking 'alpha' hunks and the bad guys are all ugly, gay or old. The bedrooms are straight out the Hyatt Regency Presidential Suite in Dubai, the haircuts are pure Hollywood and the costumes garish facsimiles of Egyptian tomb images. Quite frankly I wanted to vomit the production away but struggled through it largely because no other detailed dramatization of Tutankhamun's reign exists. What a pity; the series could have been quite good if only Hollywood had not taken it on.

David Perry This is truly awful, it is fictional melodrama rather than historical drama. Character development is on the level of caricature (boo the villains everyone). Acting is very average all of which makes it impossible to believe in, or sympathize with the characters. Having a few basic facts and writing a story around them, still born children and a broken leg, is not enough to justify a mini-series. It is hard to find any good points, fans of Ben Kingsley will be disappointed by his portrayal of a very one dimensional villain and the other actors cannot raise the story above the predictable. All in all this is a waste of air time, indeed it is six hours of your life that you will never get back.Give this one a miss.

Dam Dam 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.

g-32408 My wife started watching this, but gave up due to boredom. I had to laugh when one of the characters spoke about decimating the enemy. About 500 years too soon. Decimate is a Roman word in Latin is to kill every tenth Roman soldier if they won't attack or similar. Tut was about 1300 BC and the Romans started about 500 years later.Tut tut for research. Roman commanders to encourage their soldiers would line them up and count every tenth soldier and plunge a sword into them. I recorded episodes diligently but after a while gave up. It had no pace or interest but just plodded along Tut tut Tut tut Having to produce ten lines is a silly rule 9 lines would be better 8 lines would be even better 7 lines better still 6 lines fine 5 lines OK 4 lines almost there 3 lines not bad Still not there
