I saw the trailer for this shitshow the other day. The black actress who plays Cleopatra isn't even attractive or interesting, which I thought would be two requirements to play that role. The rest of the cast looks like the Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at your local community college. The left has made movies and TV shows and even cartoons and art so ugly, gross, dark, and unappealing. Whenever I'm in the mood to watch anything these days, which is rare, I just put on something from decades ago when the actors could act, they had a spark about them, and the movies told a story.
The funny thing about Cleopatra is that according to everyone writing about her, she wasn't a knock-out beauty at all; at best, she was pretty enough, but she intelligent, cultured, witty, multilingual, and the first Ptolemy ruler who spoke Egyptian (up to that point, spoke Greek in court and for business). She also had the people's touch and was a blast at parties.
Tl;dr: she was one of history's first instances of "... but she has a great personality!".
Yup. I'd roll my eyes but deal with it if the diversity hire here was at least charismatic, but we can't get that lucky, can we?
Another studio was working on a Cleoptra film of their own recently, and the word got out that Gal Gadot was their choice. I wasn't thrilled with that either. Gal is too beautiful and too limited of an actress.

Yes, that's all true, which is why I think this actress was a horrible choice, regardless of her race. She appears to have the charisma of a brick.

Makes sense, she was incredibly inbred.
She was also the 7th so named Cleopatra
And the coochie game was out of sight!
