He might be expressing admiration for Brutus because he feels that that would be the politically correct thing to do, and will make him look good. Or it is also possible that now that Brutus is dead and no threat to him, Antony is free to admire Brutus's good qualities. It is a further possibility that Antony is being sincere but that in his mind being noble is no compliment; that he is has nothing but contempt for idealists.
