Phenomenal sets obviously, but just far too long and lol at casting Rex Harrison as Julius Caesar. Burton is really good though, especially towards the end when he becomes this shambling drunk wreck. Taylor is just kind of there for the most part.

Lavish is the first word you think of as this film starts in, especially as it has a few sequences that still rival the Super Bowl halftime show. Unfortunately, as the sets get bigger, it feels like the human stories -- which, historically, are quite interesting -- suddenly get much smaller.

Every shot feels framed to show off the lavish production design with the actors standing there in static full shot, stranded in the middle of vast megalomaniacal sets, declaiming grandiloquent, portentous nonsense like statues draped in costume jewelry..

Great Production for its age. Specially after all those restarts. Story is a bit off. You're gonna ask yourself at somewhere like "What are they trying acheive" So many plot holes, so many character arcs, so many irrelevant characters and its 4 hour.. Its kinda tiring but still a a good movie with charismatic performances and cool production.

There is so much to love about this movie. For starters, the set design and the costumes. The budget for Elizabeth Taylor's clothes in this film was $194,000 which today would be about $1.4million. I have to throw myself under the bus here and admit that I'm not too well versed on the actual story of Cleopatra, so I can't speak on the historical accuracy of the film. Not to mention, for being a four hour long movie, I was completely entertained.

The set designs and costumes are absolutely breath taking. Truly larger than life like ancient history always seems to be. But sadly, the actual movie is a mess.

I share the common sentiment that its simply too long particularly through its 2nd half.enjoyed the technicolor pomp through the first half & enjoyed Harrisons cesar.As much as i like burton Antonys half of the movie was far less compelling, & again i share a frequently stated grievance that the film turns cleopatra into little more than an object of desire rather than a character deserving their name on the title of the film. Taylor looks glamorous, but i was often let down by her performance

More like cleavopatra. For real though I don't care how many awesome costumes you put her in, Elizabeth Taylor just isn't a good enough actress to carry this for four hours.

Joseph L. Mankiewicz' infamously profligate epic isn't nearly as bad as its reputation, though it's far from a great film. Strong scenes cannot wholly sustain the immense length, and the acting is highly variable, with Rex Harrison's sly Caesar coming off best; Taylor and Burton have their moments, but the supporting cast tends to ham it up. In any case, the absurdly lavish production is the real star, although Alex North's sinuous score is a major asset as well.

Originally, this was planned to be two three-hour movies, and it shows; it feels like a movie about Julius Caesar wedged together with a movie about Mark Antony, with supporting character Cleopatra somehow given title role. But I'm glad this isn't even longer; it's already draggy, padded with spectacle that isn't spectacular and political intrigue that I can't connect to because the characters think conquering the world is the highest good. Good stuff: Sets, Landau, Taylor & Burton's chemistry.

Truly a marvel of space and time; a film that is four hours long but feels like it goes on for days. Even more amazing is how dull they manged to make some of history's most romanticized figures. It feels more like a bunch of famous actors playing dress up than creating actual characters. I've never been much of a Rex Harrison fan but, man, does he feel miscast here. Everyone does. The only things I enjoyed were how thoroughly bored Burton looked in most of his scenes and Taylor's epic wardrobe.

Whew. I broke both parts into their own two parts. A saga to end all sagas, Cleopatra was at times a chore to watch, but it was neatly paid off by the performances and historical content (which of course was not the most accurate).

Production design, costumes & the cinematography are all fantastic. Taylor is absolutely beautiful & does a good job with a somewhat limited role. The film is less about Cleopatra & more about the men who had to deal with her, it seems. Not the portrayal of her I would've hoped for. The biggest problem is that it's so damn long. I did ok for the 1st half, but I was bored & restless in the 2nd. It falls flat for all its ambition, but at the very least, it's an interesting relic of cinema history.
