The ultimate monumental movie that almost ruined Hollywood.

Four hours! The first part with Caesar was pretty interesting. I loved how Cleopatra's tendrils slowly wrapped around him and turned him into her own personal weapon. She was a great tactician. Second part with Marc Antony was more of the same thing, plus a few underwhelming battle scenes, so it dragged tremendously. The movie regains its pomp and glory once Octavian enters Cleopatra's palace and learns of Antony's death. The subsequent monologues and a dramatic suicide scene really captivate.

There are but a few movies that instill the meaning of the words epic and monumental. Cleopatra certainly is among them. This movie nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox. I don't know what's more interesting, the movie or the story behind it. Anyway, this movie is a testament of filmaking. Imagine what it must have been like watching this in 1963. Even today the sets and costumes are amazing. No CGI - with the exceptions of probably some matte paintings everything you see was there when it was filmed. It is movie history and should be viewed at least once althought I am sure todays generation of movie goers will not apreciate it much.

This is my 3. or 4. long movie in a row. I need to finish movies late, so i choose long movies.

Years around Bc 60, maybe 30. Different earth. Different nations. 2000 years ago.

But despite that, they can travel with ships easily from rome to Egypt for example.

On Your Knees!

On your knees! It's something that Cleopatra her self shouts at a stunned Mark Antony, but it could quite literally have been shouted by many in Hollywood at 20th Century Fox as their gargantuan epic threatened to sink them. The trials and tribulations surrounding the film are stuf More
