I have read a few below average reviews of this show, but I had the opportunity to buy the Blu-ray version when it was on sale at Best Buy, and I wanted to see what the fuss is all about. A couple of friends and I watched it, and we are not disappointed. This isn't "I, Claudius", but the production value is much higher. They put a lot of money into this – the location, the costume, and I thought the script was very good, too. Ben Kingsley did a great job, (his character is very manipulating) and I really like Avan Jogia, as well (he played the main character – a naïve, young, and good-looking king.) If you like costume melodrama, this is an enjoyable, better than average show.

While there have been numerous miniseries and other historical presentations done to date, the TUT series had a strong focus on bringing to life the various aspects of the times and events of King TUT. Historical accuracy and a deeper look into the family and person himself was a key focus. A super cast made it call come together.

I loved this mini series. The acting was superb and I felt like the actors fit their roles perfectly. I know there are some historical inaccuracies, but overall it is a decent series. I was really surprised to learn that the series was produced by SpikeTV,

The Boy King of the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. Lots of action, good locations. Featuring Oscar winning actor Ben Kingsley. The Best Buy edition comes in a nice steel box. With bonus features. A great buy.

This has nothing to do with the real life of Tutankhamen; however, what's the difference. The m ovbie was spectacular, kept my interest, and it told a great story, even if it has npthing based on fact.
