Reaction: These big historical projects can be quite risky. Sometimes you can have a good script and a good cast, but the people just don't turn out.
"Guy Ritchie just doesn't seem to be cut out for these big budget historical films. First he butchered King Arthur with his clunky King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, now he has given us an overly cold take on Cleopatra." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"Gal Gadot is given a chance to really stretch her acting muscles her as the legendary queen of Egypt. While she appears to struggle at times, she is ably assisted by the likes of Michael Fassbender and Eric Bana." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com
"People have been waiting years for a new big budget film about the life of Cleopatra. The script from Billy Rimmell gives them what they wanted with the story and the lavish production design, while a charismatic performance from Gadot gives them the Cleopatra they deserve." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail
