Great movie she was highly paid at the time $1 million for an actress back then was huge

This is the best Cleopatra has ever looked on home video and certainly the definitive presentation of this under-appreciated classic. Marvel at the production value (which notoriously put 20th-century fox on the verge of bankruptcy) and enjoy the story that succeeds almost in spite of itself. Great performances and a strong script equal a fine classical film that works both as entertainment and possible diversion for students in high school Latin clubs.

A Spectacular cinemascope/movie. Always wanted to have my own BD and finally found it at bestbuy. It has been color enhanced digitally so it even shows more vivid pictures with a higher quality and definition. I do love watching older but magnificent movies such as this one.

Never saw this magnificent movie till purchased great historical story and beautiful picture!

This is a classic movie redone for blu ray, great upgrade from DVD in sound and video. Hard to believe it's the 50th anniversary. Of course they had to appeal to American audience at the time. I'm sure there will be another remake of Cleopatra in the near future . Here's hoping that they use better updated archeological, DNA and historical evidence to portray characters.

The Blu-ray version of Cleopatra restores so much of what was lost in previous DVD and VHS versions and even in the HD television version that airs on TCM. The picture on this is spectacularly beautiful and the film finally feels, for me, the way it was supposed to feel: grand and epic. This is the version to get.

Liz Taylor's portrayal of Queen Cleopatra is awesome. If you liked Rome TV series, you will love this long and elaborate movie.

If you love old movies from the early 60's with a grand scale that has yet to be matched in a dramatic love story this is the movie for you. Magnificent Ancient Egyptian costume styles were enough to make this a worth while purchase for me. 3 Hours of them!

Liz and Richard never looked so good! This classic, epic movie really shines in HD and truly excels with further upscaling to 4K (e.g., on a Sony OLED). Colors, scenes, and details are all amazing. Many extras to enjoy.

Great classic movie, Now even better on blu ray. Perfect movie for your children to learn a little history and enjoying a classic movie with your family and friends.

Firs time I saw this movie when I was a kid in a movie theater almost 40 years ago. Now when I saw it on Blu ray I just could not pass it by. True historic story of ancient world. Great famous actors. Massive decorations. True classic that deserves a place in any collection.

This movie is must watch for various reasons. Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra is just great casting. It's where Elizabeth and Richard Burton fell in love and began their celebrated relationship, and it was just such an outrageous budgeted movie! Elizabeth Taylor became the first actress paid a million dollars for as movie with this one!

I've always enjoyed this monster of a film and find that the negativity thrown at it to be a bit unjustified. Nice example of huge hollywood system work at its most grand. The bonus features on this release really are worth the price of admission alone. Beautiful transfer as well.

This movie was panned when it was originally released. But, re-viewing this on Blu-ray just brings it all back to life. Enjoy it for what it is...a masterpiece in film-making! And who doesn't wanna see Liz Taylor up close and personal!! Just beautiful.

This was a boxoffice bomb in the day (due to that bloated budget no doubt), but I thought it held up extremely well. This is a great movie to "look" at, and they are never going to make movies on the scale that this thing was. That alone is worth the price. However, I liked the story and thought it was well written and well acted too.

This is an excellent, colorful, action packed, all star cast movie about Cleopatra of Egypt. I highly recommend this & you will not be disappointed at all if you buy this movie.

Even though this is a classic movie one still has to appreciate what it took to put together a movie like this. There was computers to assist like there is today. This is still one of the better classical movies created which I had to add to my collection and you should to.

Very good movie. The all star cast and Liz Taylor with her beautiful garments. She had to change 50 plus times. It's a very long movie but a good one for a Saturday night..

Last of the Hollywood epics starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Roddy McDowell and Martin Landau. A wonderful classic film about Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony despite the fact that the script was being written on the fly and massive cost over-runs for a movie of this enormity and no CG tech.

Elizabeth Taylor was born to play this role . She made $7 million in 1962 to play CLEOPATRA , Queen of Egypt , the powerful and highly seductive Daughter of ISIS . This movie basically bankrupt 20th Century Fox due to huge overspending , but became worth the investment . A spectacle.
