I've never seen it so I might pick this up.
 
My biggest problem with this movie is that it really comes off as two seperate stories added together, and the first one (about Julius Caesar) is a lot better than the second one (about Mark Antony). Harrison gives the best performance in the film. Also, Cleopatra is far less interesting than the three main male characters (Caesar, Antony, and Octavian) despite being the title character.

On the plus side, the movie sure looks pretty and like I said, the first half is pretty great.
