 Great Deal!!!
Great! no doubt about bying again sthg, via this metod. Arrived as Stipulated and condicions new, as said. thanx. and dont hesitate!
 Very entertaining
This is probably the best mini-series I've ever seen. I have not seen all of them, but from the one's I've seen, this is by far the most enjoyable. The plot was coherant, the script spot on and the acting was wonderful. EVERYONE did a fantastic job. Leonor Varela was beautiful and convincing as Cleopatra. And I loved both Billy Zane and Timothy Dalton as the two leading men. It is dramatic and sensual and exciting. You really can't ask for more in a made for TV mini-series. The effects were pretty good for the time period and budget. Now, whether it was historically accurate, that is up to the viewer to decide how they see fit, but as a film, it is thoroughly watchable.

the actors play very good parts
she cool and very sneaky when it come
to over throw the roman government,
when her powers our finely defeated ,
when she takes to much.

An excellent story about Cleopatra
An excellent made-for-tv movie about the reign of Cleopatra. Leonor Varela, Billy Zane and Timothy Dalton have excellent performances. The story was enthralling, as all stories about Cleopatra are, and well acted. The special effects were pretty good considering it is a made-for-tv movie. I loved this movie so much that I had to buy it.
 Lenora Valera is NO Cleopatra!
The entire time while watching this three hour movie one thought ran through my mind: Lenora Valera could not possibly have been the best actress for this part.
She portrayed the great Queen of Egypt as a child who wore her mother's royal robes. In those scenes where she was supposed to look fierce or intimidating, she ended up looking constipated. Caesar, the most powerful man in the world (now THAT portrayal I believed. Thanks, Tim Dalton!) fell in love with her?! Suuuure. A Queen whose only skills lie in the bedroom? You would think that the great Caesar would fall in love with a woman who knew political strategy and possessed maturity. Apparently not.
Positives? Timothy Dalton was a delight to see, and he bought his considerable acting skills to the role of Caesar. Again, Lenora Valera ruined this for me. I kept asking myself, "Why would this man fall in love with this woman?"
Billy Zane. Hmmm...if he meant to portray Marc Antony as a drunk living in Caesar's shadow...well done. In this regard, I do believe that he and Cleopatra were well suited.
The costumes. Loved the Egyptian costumes. The headdresses? Not so much.
I can only give this movie 2 stars.
