Undoubtedly a significant improvement over the last one, despite only being released a year later. That was unimaginable, especially at the time.
I also like the gags with the translations they contain. They are unique, especially in German, where there is also a dialect soundtrack.
It always bothered me as a kid that they sing in this film, but now as an adult I can relate to the songs. Especially the level of silliness.
I always tip my hat to the translators' ideas and rhymes and how funny this film is, it just puts you in a good mood right from the start. In German, Cleopatra has a somewhat annoying voice, it's so shrill, so squeaky. It hurts a bit in the ear and because she also screams a lot throughout the movie, it's hard to take. But that actually makes them suitable as a threat.
All of the characters come off pretty well here, and this is a film that makes good use of its staff. Only the architect who built the pyramids and the temple falls behind a bit, he seems far too incompetent and boring to me, which is why I sometimes wondered why he even had this job. But I can overlook that. Suspension of Disbelief.
