Review of Cleopatra

Cleopatra (1934)
4/10
Another bad movie from DeMille
29 July 2002
This film can be thought of as a camp classic or a comedy, but certainly not as a serious film. The film is essentially moronic but fun. Cecil B. DeMille is probably the most overrated movie director in the history of cinema. This film, as all his others, has an infantile script with obvious directions to camp it up and overact as much as possible. Claudette Colbert is good in her role but the male leads are awful. This movie deserves only a 4 out of 10 and that is being generous. Watch this for fun but do not expect real history.
