Watch Tut For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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 will give this series a 9, because I found the casting, the acting, costuming, pacing, sets, and storyline to be extremely well done! This is one of the best T.V series about a historical figure, or based on one that I have seen in a long time! Even though "Tut" keeps your creative juices flowing and entertains You it may not be the most accurate information or take on Ancient Egyptians, or King Tut's life. I feel the writers may have made a lot of this up for ratings, because little was really known about this boy king as the called Tut. I'm sorry, but I have to nitpick here. Ancient Egyptians had dark skin, they were not white People or Mexican People made to look darker than they truly are, other than that I was appalled by the graphic sex scenes, so this is possibly not a movie for children or adults that do not like to see that kind of content.

Ancient Eqypt is a piece of history that has been somewhat overlooked by modern day filmmakers. "Tut" is supposed to fill the gap, but sadly fails on a lot of levels.First the good stuff. It's visually gorgeous, nicely filmed and the acting is decent.However. The series completely fails as a believable story about an interesting period in ancient Eqypt. First and foremost, the fact that they chose Farao Tutanchamon for this is ample proof of a choice based on his fame with the public rather than his impact on history. Tutanchamon was in fact a puppet-king that had all major decisions made for him by advisors. Even if that hadn't been the case, his reign of only a few years would've been too short to have any lasting significance. Tut is only famous because his mummified body is one of the best preserverd of all the faraos of ancient Egypt.All in all, what we learn from this series is that if you ever want a historical epic dedicated to you 2000 years in the future, you had best get started on your impregnable pyramid already.
