i only hope that no classicist or ancient historian saw cleopatra and or and if they do and that they take it a a laugh . the movie be horrendously inaccurate and more laughably and even and than gladiator ( which be at least a well write script whose historical error be articulate and correspond well to the story ) . most blatant be octavius and caesar heir and in the senate before caesar assassination represent at the ripe old age of 19. besides this and the acting be mediocre . timothy dalton have more than a hint of james bond in him when he say and caesar . julius caesar . billy zane be a laughably dense marc antony . and leonor varela try her best to be the seductive pharaoh ( who in real life be not good look at all ) but come off a unbelievable . so this be a warning for all historian this movie be not true to life .
