The promo trailer looked interesting :
My misgivings were strengthened when the opening shots showed Pharaoh Akhenaton ruling from Thebes (oops!). A menacing Ben Kingsley plays Ay and a gory opening shows a black Horemheb publicly disemboweling some unfortunate who has had the temerity to poison Akhenaton (still alive at this point).
Subsequently a young and limping (nice touch!) Tutankhamum is required to kill the disembowelled prisoner's young son...to demonstrate to his dying father (Akhenaton.....do keep up!) his fitness to rule.
At this point - 5 mins into the movie - my internet connection expired. I will continue watching when I have purchased more Gigabytes tomorrow.
So far, so good....although the title "Tut" is beginning to look all too appropriate
