Spike’s entry into the historical figure-as-swaggering adventurer game with “Tut,” its telling of the coming of age of boy king Tutankhamun, succeeds in entertaining for a midsummer night - or three - provided the viewer doesn’t have his or her own kingdoms to conquer or coups to put down.īen Kingsley, as the king’s chief adviser Vizier Ay, makes spending sultry summer evenings indulging in a lush fictional telling of the travails and torments of the storied ruler of ancient Egypt’s 18th dynasty even sweeter.
